Stringing together a nation : Candido Mariano da Silva Rondon and the construction of a modern Brazil, 1906-1930
Examines the life of one of the most fascinating and debated figures in modern Brazil, Candido Rondon, by melding traditional and new research approaches into an informal and clear narrative style of history. 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
