Regarding the significance of Gilberto Freyre’s 1933 Casa-grande e senzala, Antonio Candido referred to it as nothing less than an "earthquake". From Dubois to Genovese, from Braudel to Barthes, not to mention decades of Brazilian and Lusophone cultural reflection, Freyre’s impact has been felt around the globe. Thomas Skidmore has recently called Freyre’s oeuvre a "unique world" that will "take many decades to explore". This volume represents a contribution to that process by offering a set of new critical readings from a range of disciplinary perspectives. These essays show that Freyre is worth considering anew today precisely because of the way in which his legacy serves, often silently, as a foundational presence within so many of the debates that are increasing in both volume and intensity across a number of fields of inquiry. The interesting project embedded in the realization that seemingly new trends appear throughout Freyre’s work is not to simply show how he raised a number of issues precociously. Rather, the crucial task is to ask after the ways in which his work still inhabits our own. In other words, the question is not to ask in which ways we have improved upon Freyre’s theses, or transcended his errors; the question is to ask how those "errors" force us to confront our own work in unexpected ways.

This book traces the rise and decline of Gilberto Freyre's vision of racial and cultural mixture (mestiçagem - or race mixing) as the defining feature of Brazilian culture in the twentieth century. Eakin traces how mestiçagem moved from a conversation among a small group of intellectuals to become the dominant feature of Brazilian national identity, demonstrating how diverse Brazilians embraced mestiçagem, via popular music, film and television, literature, soccer, and protest movements. The Freyrean vision of the unity of Brazilians built on mestiçagem begins a gradual decline in the 1980s with the emergence of an identity politics stressing racial differences and multiculturalism. The book combines intellectual history, sociological and anthropological field work, political science, and cultural studies for a wide-ranging analysis of how Brazilians - across social classes - became Brazilians.

Com vinhetas de Rosa Maria abrindo cada capítulo, mapa de Luiz Jardim e um caderno de ilustrações, este livro fala da marcante influência britânica no Brasil do século XIX. Diz Maria Lúcia Pallares-Burke na apresentação que Gilberto Freyre mostra aqui como "o estudo dos fatos aparentemente miúdos do cotidiano doméstico, das oficinas, das estradas de ferro, dos anúncios de jornal pode ser uma grande via de acesso aos fenômenos mais gerais do passado de uma cultura". Trata-se de um clássico sobre o tema. Em parceria com a Editora da UniverCidade.
