Brazil and Canada: Economic, Political, and Migratory Ties, 1820s to 1970s brings to light little known historical connections and ties between Canada and Brazil. Rosana Barbosa makes an important contribution to understand bilateral relations between ‘satellite’ countries in history and within the larger global context. Her research goes beyond the state-to-state relations to minutely analyze commercial and trade ties as well as the solidarities established between Canadian and Brazilian civil society actors. This is a timely and innovative book at a moment when ties between Canada and Brazil are more intense and frequent. Its breadth, scope, and the variety of historical data explored is of interest to both a Canadian and Brazilian public.
