Society and Education in Brazil (Pitt Latin American Series) - Tapa blanda

"This is a welcome volume in English about Brazilian society and education. . . . [that] looks at twentieth century Brazil in terms of past and present social forces which have and are shaping education. . . . Its breadth offers a comprehensive look at Brazil [at mid-century]." --Comparative Education Review "The study is rich in substantive findings and is a valuable contribution not only to the sociology of education but also to the field of social change in 'developing' countries." --American Journal of Sociology "It is a pleasure to find a work that places the consideration of schools, students and teachers squarely within the context of the total historical and social setting." --International Review of Education

A groundbreaking English-language study of the transformation in education in mid-twentieth century Brazil, and the social and economic forces that shaped it. It also looks at how, in turn, education is shaping the rapid transformation of Brazilian society.
