## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great Book!
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 25, 2022*

I really enjoyed Smith’s Afro-Paradise; intertwining history and current events, Smith captures the tension and war-like atmosphere in which Black Brazilians live. I read Smith’s book as balancing between afro-pessimism and afro-optimism – by confronting the “death” that is Black life in Brazil, Black Brazilians create and pursue life. The most interesting section of Smith’s book, to me, was the chapter on citizenship.

    but Christen makes this herculean feat look easy.
  

*by M***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 21, 2016*

I have seen Christen present her incisive research at conferences and read earlier drafts of this work, in various forms. Yet, I was still stunned by the elegance and power of this book. It's rare to find ethnographic work that is engaging, theoretically sophisticated, and yet accessible, but Christen makes this herculean feat look easy.

Dr. Smith has written a phenomenal ethnography.
