Autos and Progress: The Brazilian Search for Modernity
Wolfe, Joel (Associate Professor of History, Associate Professor of History, University of Massachusetts Amherst)
Autos and Progress analyzes autos as both tools for and cultural symbols of Brazil's status as a modern nation. This book details attempts to remake the nation physically and economically, through road building, the establishment of a domestic auto industry, and the founding of Brasilia, as well as culturally and politically with the transformation of segments of the poor into a democratic and assertive working class.
