Summary
"This engaging book explores how and why debates over Rio's historic sites, landmarks, and landscapes have influenced both the city and Brazil as a whole. Brian Godfrey shows how Rio's sense of place has been defined by historic rebranding, arguing that the world has much to learn from Rio about preserving cultural diversity and urban environments"-- Provided by publisher.
