Summary
general
There is no satisfactory general history of Brazil from 1930 to the present day. Israel Beloch and Alzira Alves de Abreu (eds.), Ditionário histórico-bibliográfico brasileiro, 1930–1983, 4 vols. (Rio de Janeiro, 1984) is an indispensable guide. It is the most ambitious and substantial of a large number of important contributions from the Centro de Pesquisas e Documentaçao em História Contemporânea (CPDOC) of the Fundaç, ao Getúlio Vargas (FGV) in Rio de Janeiro, the creation of which in 1973 transformed the study of contemporary Brazilian history. For the period from the revolution of 1930 to the golpe of 1964 Boris Fausto (ed.), História geral da civilizaçdo brasileira, III: 0 Brasil republicano, 3. Sociedade epolitica (1930– 64), 4. Economia e cultura (1930–64) (Sao Paulo, 1981, 1984) is an outstanding collaborative history. Chapters that treat the entire period include Aspáside Alcântara Camargo, ‘A questão agrária: Crise de poder e refbrmas de base (1930–1964)‘, Décio Saes, ‘Classe média e política no Brasil (1930–1964)’, Sergio Miceli, ‘Carne e osso da elite política brasileira pos-1930’, Leôncio Martins Rodrigues, ‘O PCB: Os dirigentes e a organizacao’ and ‘Sindicalismo e classe operária (1930–1964)’ in vol. 3; and Tamás Szmrecsányi, ‘O Desenvolvimento da produção agropecuária (1930–1970)’ in vol. 4. See also a series of informative books by Edgard Carone: A Segunda republica (1930–1937) (São Paulo, 1973), A República nova (1930–31) (São Paulo, 1974), A Terceira república (São Paulo, 1976), 0 Estado Novo (1937–45) (São Paulo, 1976), A Quarta república (1945–64) (São Paulo, 1980), and A República liberal, I: Instituiçōes e classes sociais, 1945–64, II Evolução política, 1945–64 (São Paulo, 1985)
