Translated from the Portuguese by Linton Lomas Barrett & Marie Mcdavid Barrett. 293 pages. hardcover. Typography, binding, and jacket design by Guy Fleming. keywords: Latin America Brazil History. DESCRIPTION - Natives of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil's southernmost state, have often been considered more Spanish than Brazilian in temperament, thought, language, and customs. MoysEs Vellinho vigorously contests this distorted point of view and emphasizes the Brazilian qualities and nature of his state and its people. He writes on selected aspects*of the origins, history, and development of Rio Grande do Sul, seeking to present a true picture of the region. Mr. Vellinho considers the southern expansion of Portuguese Brazil and the resulting clash with the Spanish centered in Buenos Aires; the role played by the missionaries of the Society of Jesus; the alien nature of the utopian experiment conducted by the Spanish Jesuits in their seven mission towns; Cristovão Pereira, one of the outstanding figures of the region in the first half of the eighteenth century; the contrasts between the Portuguese gachos of Rio Grande do Sul and the Spanish gauchos of the Plata; and finally the influence of the frontier on the language. The author reveals both the history and the character of Rio Grande do Sul and examines them against the background of the Spanish culture to the south and west. He thus dramatically points up the differences between Portuguese and Spanish America and casts an interesting light on the diversity within Brazil itself. Erico Verissimo, a prominent Brazilian writer who has had many works translated into English, has emphasized in his Preface to this edition the significance of BRAZIL SOUTH for North American readers. inventory #10947.
