This journey will take us back in time, to the so-called 'Golden Era' of the postcard in the first decades of the 20th century. Brazil's natural beauty is known to us all - the rivers, mountains, forests, and beaches. Postcards have shown these places, and many are now famous around the world - Pão de Açúcar, the Amazon River, the Northeast coast. Yet many marvelous images of this immense and diverse quasi-continent that is Brazil have not graced postcards. Many of the locations featured in this book have changed over time, as structures that value beauty more than function are replaced by others in which the opposite is true. It is important to acknowledge the photographers and publishers of earlier eras, many of them unknown, whose merit and artistic talent have given us these postcards and albums, which today are the best images we have of Brazil’s historic cities.

This book explores the history of migration in Switzerland from the late nineteenth century to the present day. It brings together recent scholarship on Switzerland in the field of cultural and migration studies, as well as migration history, and combines various research approaches from postcolonial studies, transnational studies, border studies, and history of knowledge. Since the late nineteenth century, Switzerland has gradually transformed into a migration society, becoming one of the countries in Europe with the highest percentage of migrant population. While migration has become one of most contentious issues in Swiss public and political debates, the volume also shows how migrants have developed various strategies to deal with the country’s discriminatory policies and distinct institutional settings. The authors of the volume convincingly challenge the view that Switzerland still does not represent a migration (or even post-migrant) society and substantially contributes to the long overdue acknowledgement of Switzerland in migration history and studies at the international level.

In this hugely praised narrative, New York Times reporter Larry Rohter takes the reader on a lively trip through Brazil's history, culture, and booming economy. Going beyond the popular stereotypes of samba, supermodels, and soccer, he shows us a stunning and varied landscape--from breathtaking tropical beaches to the lush and dangerous Amazon rainforest--and how a complex and vibrant people defy definition. He charts Brazil's amazing jump from a debtor nation to one of the world's fastest growing economies, unravels the myth of Brazil's sexually charged culture, and portrays in vivid color the underbelly of impoverished favelas. With Brazil leading the charge of the Latin American decade, this critically acclaimed history is the authoritative guide to understanding its meteoric rise.
