About this listen

Discover the untold story of Brazil, a land where the Amazon's lush beauty meets the bustling energy of sprawling cities like Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. From the dawn of ancient indigenous civilizations to the arrival of Portuguese explorers, Brazil's history is one of breathtaking contrasts. Dive deep into the cultural mosaic of Afro-Brazilian, Indigenous, and European influences that have shaped this vibrant country, and explore the complexities of its colonial past, the horrors of slavery, and its struggle for independence.

This book reveals the rich and often tumultuous history of Brazil, from the rise of its sugar empire and the brutal impact of African slavery to its current status as a key player on the global stage. Along the way, you’ll encounter the cultural vibrancy of samba and Carnival, the mysticism of Candomblé, and the country's fight to protect its natural wonders like the Amazon rainforest.

"The Roots of Brazil" is a compelling exploration of the contrasts that define Brazil: wealth and poverty, tradition and progress, natural beauty and urban sprawl. Whether you’re fascinated by history, culture, or global politics, this book offers an immersive journey into one of the world’s most intriguing nations.

Perfect for listeners who enjoy historical narratives, cultural studies, and the complexity of modern geopolitics, this book is an eye-opening look into the forces that shaped—and continue to shape—Brazil today.
