| Description: |
Graciliano Ramos and the Making of Modern Brazil provides new readings and fresh perspectives on the Brazilian writer Graciliano Ramos (1892-1953), whose socially and politically engaged work remains a key reference for our understanding of the making of modern Brazil and continues to reverberate in the country's contemporary context. |
| Synopsis: |
Graciliano Ramos and the Making of Modern Brazil brings updated criticism in English on the work of foremost Brazilian writer Graciliano Ramos (1892-1953), a key figure in understanding the making of modern Brazil. Building on existing literature on Ramos, this book innovates through chapters that consider issues such as the author's dialogue with literary tradition, his cultural legacy for contemporary writers, and his treatment of racial discrimination and gender inequality through the multifarious, provocative and enduringly fascinating characters he created. The volume also addresses the question of Ramos's political involvement during the years of the Getulio Vargas government (1930-45), aiming to revisit established readings of the author's politics. Through close reading of individual works as well as comparative analyses, this volume takes readers into the complexities of modernization in Brazil, and highlights the writer's significance for our understanding of Brazil today. |
