Its various climates range from some of the driest lands on earth to the lush Amazon rainforest. This richness is matched or surpassed by its human geography, with its many native populations and the millions of newcomers—European fortune hunters, enslaved Africans, and labor migrants from all around the world. This matrix of geographic, climatic, economic, and cultural influences inevitably has given rise to myriad local and regional identities. However, both Brazilians and outsiders have tended to conceive of Brazil as a unified, singular nation. This course aims to break open the singular idea of “Brazil” to reveal many Brazils, exposing students to the tremendous regional diversity that both enriches and complicates our understanding of the Federative Republic. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
