Beyond their practical purposes, these public works became significant symbols of Brazil's modernity. While actual public works literally connected the nation, it was the government's representations of these projects that sought to inspire in Brazil's citizenry a notion of connectedness and progress. However, Brazilian fiction exposes the tensions between infrastructure built for the common good and the underbelly of public works: displacement, environmental devastation, uneven access, exploitation, and blight. This book examines how writers successfully use fiction - with its mystery, contradiction, wordplay, and fantasy - to engage the unprecedented role of public works in shaping perceptions of Brazil's modernization 588 Description based on print version record 650 0 Brazilian literature|xHistory and criticism 650 0 Public works|zBrazil 650 7 LITERARY CRITICISM / European / Spanish & Portuguese |2bisacsh 655 4 Electronic books 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBeal, Sophia, 1982-|tBrazil under construction|z9781137322470|w(DLC) 2013010457 |w(OCoLC)840937185 830 0 New directions in Latino American cultures 856 40 |3Palgrave Connect|uhttp://www.palgraveconnect.com/ doifinder/10.1057/9781137322487 912 Palgrave connect eBooks|b110206074615
