Extractions: Hunter-gatherers, who followed their animals across the Bering Strait, gradually spread southwards into warmer climes, reaching the Amazon Basin in Brazil. Unlike the Incas or Mayas, Brazilian Indians did not develop an advanced civilisation, leaving little for archaeologists to discover. The population consisted of numerous tribes, the largest of which was the Tupi. Today, many mountains and rivers have Tupi names. The population, however, has decreased from an estimated 2 million to 200 thousand, and most live deep in the jungle. EARLY COLONISATION Most of these explorers were born of an indian mother and Portuguese father. They knew both how to survive and how to use weapons. With these skills they crossed the immense country plundering Indian villages. By the mid-1600s they had traversed the interior as far as the peaks of the Peruvian Andes and the lowlands of the Amazon forest. More than any treaty, these exploits secured the huge country for the Portuguese Crown.

Extractions: The independence of Brazil, proclaimed on September 7 th 1822 by the crown prince of the United Kingdom of Portugal and Algarve himself, followed by his acclamation as emperor, could not but create, for the new empire, a very distinct and undisputedly more complex situation than ensued from the emancipation of the former Spanish colonies. In the latter case, the breach was radical as it lacked the aspect of a "legitimate" transfer of sovereignty, in a sense more offensive to the principles defended by the Holy Alliance. In Brazil’s exceptional case, however, although the problem of legitimacy was up to a point solved, the establishment of a new kingdom whose sovereign granted himself the title of "emperor" was an inevitable concern mainly for Austria and Russia, earnest protectors of their own sovereign’s titles. On the other hand, the lack of definition with regard to the succession to the throne of Portugal gave rise to suspicions that, in reality, a "personal union" had been formed which, after the death of D. João VI, would naturally succeed to the United Kingdom (of Portugal and Algarve) created in 1815. This matter, after many comings and goings, would become one of the main causes of the first emperor’s abdication , in 1831.

Extractions: Works interpretate the brazilian history Located in downtown Rio de Janeiro, the Academy is known as the "House of Machado de Assis ", since he is the writer responsible for it's building in first place. The reverence to him is so strong that the latest "immortal" woman Nélida Piñón, who assumed the ecclesiastical dignity in 1990 and the first woman to preside the BLA, greets the statue of the founder every day as she passes by. "I feel honoured to cohabit with the ghost and language of Machado de Assis", justifies Nélida. Her proudness goes beyond: "A country that had a writer like Machado, is a land of opportunity, predestinated to change its history". A history wich is also being written by those "girls" hands. "The Active Three", just like in Lygia's book. There was a fourth, Dinah Silveira de Queiroz, who was elected in 1981 and died a year later. Rachel de Queiroz revealed the soul of the brave brazilian folk with the novels "O Galo de Ouro" (The Golden Rooster) and "Memorial de Maria Moura" (Maria Moura's Memorial). Nélida traced a metaphore of Brazil in the ample piece (700 pages) "A República dos Sonhos" (The Dream Republic). Lygia explored the urban introspective in "Ciranda de Pedra", considered to be the mark of the author's maturity, according to the also wirter Antonio Callado.

Extractions: Brazilian History Portuguese navigator Pedro Alvares Cabral discovered Brazil in 1500. From then on, various export cycles dominated Brazil's economic and cultural development. The first of these cycles was based on the exportation of brazilwood, used to make dyes and paints. During the 17th century, Brazil became the world's largest producer of sugar. In this period, a large number of African slaves were brought to Brazil to work in the sugar cane plantations. Gold and diamonds eventually replaced sugar as the country's major export product. By the second half of the 19th century, Brazil was deep in a new cycle with coffee as the major export. Today, coffee is still one of Brazil's major sources of income. The late 19th-century rubber boom also brought prosperity and development to the north of Brazil, previously ignored by the international economy. When Napoleon invaded Portugal in the early 1800's, Dom Joo VI King of Portugal , fled to Brazil where the Portuguese court continued to run the empire. Ports were opened to international (mostly British) commerce, and the colony grew substantially. In 1789, one of Brazil's first movements for independence from Portugal was crushed. Its hero

Extractions: Clip for Research in cognitive psychology has taught us that learning is not a process of transmission, but a process of construction. In other words, for knowledge to really "stick," students need to have experiences where they discover information and then synthesize that knowledge with what has been previously understood; they "construct" their own understanding of the world. Although constructivism is often discussed in connection with the use of technology in education, it is not always easy for some to imagine this approach in practice. www.ars.com.br/projetos/ibrasil/index.htm ). The theme was Brazilian history, studied over a five-year period with each year focussing on one century. The project design culminated with the 21st Century, and included speculations on the future of Brazil in time for the celebration of the 500th anniversary of Cabral's discovery of the country. So far, this project sounds like many that educators all over the world have had students do. The difference with this project is that it had the participation of up to 15,000 students scattered in 7 states, and made extensive use of telecommunications. While traditional print media (including textbooks) were one source of information, students also took part in field trips to historical cities and sites where they conducted further research on their own. In some cases, they found that the historical record was at variance with what was written in the textbooks, and they published these findings on the Web.

Extractions: The History of Brazil, by Robert Levine. Greenwood Press, Westport, CN, 1999. 208 pages. $35.00, cloth. Greenwood Press began publishing a series of short modern histories in hardback recently. This series includes Germany, Nigeria, Spain, among others, and now Robert Levine has added Brazil to the collection. The idea is to bring up-to-date, analytical histories to students and laypeople that focus on the rapidly changing nature of contemporary affairs across the globe over the last four decades. This is a daunting task, since the authors must provide a basic historical narrative that avoids the "one damn thing after another" approach, while moving the book into the post-W.W.II era. Levine's entry succeeds admirably. He provides a succinct narrative of Brazilian history that is at once readable and inclusive of the major elements of national history. Not surprisingly, the two liveliest chapters are the first and last. In the first, "An Earthly Paradise," the author ranges widely over geography, politics, climate, race relations and culture, giving the reader a mosaic of Brazilian reality, now and over time. This is especially important given Brazil's immense size (over 3 million square miles) and the diversity of both its geography and human history. Brief descriptions of folk religions, environmental issues and the jeito, or the traditional knack of Brazilian problem solving, highlight this chapter. The reader comes away with a sense of how Brazilian society operates, at least on the surface.

Extractions: A JewishGen InfoFile If you are here just to learn whether Jews know how to samba, let me assure you that they do. During carnival time in Brazil, the Brazilian TV stations generally show scenes from Israel of Brazilian Jews dancing samba on the streets of Tel Aviv. Let me tell you about my credentials for this presentation. I was born in Porto Alegre, in the southernmost Brazilian state. In addition to my knowledge of Brazilian Jewish history, this presentation is based partially on the writings of my late father who in 1937 wrote a well-respected book entitled " Historia dos Israelitas no Brasil ". [The History of the Jews in Brazil]. (This is the book.) He wrote this book both in Portuguese and Yiddish. My dad was a journalist, edited a number of Brazilian Yiddish newspapers and was a part-time correspondent for the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA). One important comment is needed here. The word "Israelitas," meaning Jews who are descendants of the tribe of Israel, is preferred to the word "Judeu" or "Judio," meaning Jews in Portuguese and Spanish, respectively. Unfortunately, in both languages, the word has bad connotations. "Judiar" means to hurt or to make someone suffer, to mock or abuse. Judeu means to be dishonest when dealing with others. (As you know, there is a similar usage in English. "to jew someone down.")
