The Mystery of Samba: Popular Music and National Identity in Brazil - Latin America in Translation
Hermano Vianna
How did Brazil become ""the Kingdom of Samba"" only a few decades after abolishing slavery in 1888? The author of this book shows that the nationalization of samba actually rested on a long history of relations between different social groups, often working at cross-purposes to one another.
