Reviews

"A major undertaking by two eminent scholars on one of the most important regions in Latin America. Weaving together rich scholarship, original research, and extensive historical data, Luna and Klein offer a sorely-needed synthesis of the facets that contributed to São Paulo's evolution from modest agricultural province into Brazil's economic leader. This accessible volume offers an excellent case for comparative research on the developing world and areas of recent settlement, and will be welcomed by historians of Brazil and Latin America."—Anne Hanley, Northern Illinois University "An Economic and Demographic History of São Paulo, 1850-1950is animportant accomplishment and a welcome addition to the literature on the history of São Paulo. Besides a comprehensive survey of the factors behind São Paulo's impressive growth, the book is also a successful attempt at historical and historiographical synthesis, one that covers many decades of literature and establishes a serious dialogue with Brazilian historiography and social science literature."—Paula Vedoveli, H-LatAm
