商品簡介
Maxwell (Latin American studies, Harvard U.) offers an interpretive framework to help explain why independent Brazil differed from former Spanish colonies by adopting a monarchical system of government and by not fragmenting into separate states. He looks at how social, political, and economic compulsions molded and were molded by policy and events during the formative half century.
