'Fifteen Belgium, Brazilian, British, Dutch, and French historians contribute to this remarkable bilingual volume on foreign influences on Brazilian history. The essays link Brazilian history to the broader world (Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas), arguing that Brazil cannot be properly studies without understanding cultural and economic influences from four continents. The idea of 'foreign influence' has been taken very broadly by the essayists.' (ERNST PIJNING in Itinerario 25 (2001), p.223).
