Description
Aliando texto acessível e agradável, vasta documentação original e rica iconografia, Lilia Moritz Schwarcz e Heloisa Starling propõem uma nova (e pouco convencional) história do Brasil. Nessa travessia de mais de quinhentos anos, se debruçam não somente sobre a "grande história" mas também sobre o cotidiano, a expressão artística e a cultura, as minorias, os ciclos econômicos e os conflitos sociais (muitas vezes subvertendo as datas e os eventos consagrados pela tradição). No fundo da cena, mantêm ainda diálogo constante com aqueles autores que, antes delas, se lançaram na difícil empreitada de tentar interpretar ou, pelo menos, entender o Brasil. A história que surge dessas páginas é a de um longo processo de embates e avanços sociais inconclusos, em que a construção falhada da cidadania, a herança contraditória da mestiçagem e a violência aparecem como traços persistentes. Esta edição inclui novo pós-escrito das autoras, que joga luz sobre a situação recente do país: a democracia posta em xeque, os desdobramentos das manifestações populares e o impeachment de Dilma Rousseff, entre outros acontecimentos marcantes dos últimos anos.
