It brings to the English-speaking academic public a welcome deconstruction of recent Brazilian historiography on nation building, indigenous people, and state action. The research for "Stringing Together a Nation "is groundbreaking and brings to light archival materials that will change the way we understand how Brazilians discovered Brazil in the early decades of the twentieth century Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 207-223) and index Notes Master and use copy.
