“The new English-language edition is substantiallyexpanded, especially in the general introduction and at the start of eachchapter, to provide additional theoretical grounding and context for aninternational audience. … This new edition makes the work fully accessible andrelevant to Latin Americanist scholars with limited knowledge of Brazil and thePortuguese language, but it will also be extremely valuable for specialists inBrazil, particularly those concerned with interracial and class relationships,labor history, and women’s writing.” (Katherine Ostrom, Letras Femeninas, Vol.41 (1), December, 2015)
