Index
Luciana Martins is Senior Lecturer in Luso-Brazilian Studies at Birkbeck, University of London
Over one hundred illustrations, the artful deployment of which the
design team at Manchester University Press deserves credit, adorn
the undertaking from beginning to end, lending the narrative (most
appropriately) a rich, visual texture.
Though her sweep is vast, there is commendable balance between the
big picture and attention to detail, with six informative chapters
"organized around a sequence of connected case studies"

'Martins leads her readers through a fine web of documentary
imagery and her book identifies new constellations of visual
documents, expanding a Latin American historiography...Both the
series of images and the strategies of interpretation in
Photography and Documentary Film in the Making of Modern Brazil
ought to be of real interest to geographers (both cultural and
historical), art historians and anthropologists, as well, of
course, as scholars in Latin American studies.'
Louise Purbrick, University of Brighton, UK, Journal of Historical
Geography 52 (2016)
