“Tom Winterbottom’s A Cultural History of Rio de Janeiro After 1889 takes the reader on a ‘gloriously decadent’ journey through Rio de Janeiro. … a pleasant, informative and engagingly written book. Winterbottom pulls readers in and allows them to feel the pulse of Rio de Janeiro’s beating heart.” (Sandra I. Sousa, Hispania, Vol. 101 (4), December, 2018)
