Power and the ruling classes in northeast Brazil

About this book

This report from a Recife newspaper provides a glimpse of political-economic life in the early 1970s in Juazeiro and Petrolina, neighboring towns of some sixty thousand inhabitants each that are closely linked to each other, to their respective states of Bahia and Pernambuco in the Brazilian Northeast, to the federal government centered in Brasilia, and, increasingly, to international capital.
