French-Brazilian Geography: the Influence of French Geography in Brazil by José Borzacchiello da Silva

This is the English translation of a very important book on Brazilian geography, originally published in Brazil in 2012. Borzacchiello’s work is the first attempt to trace a general historiographic appraisal of the exchanges between French and Brazilian geographers, who traditionally maintained a privileged relation. This translated edition—as part of a new book series, Springer Briefs in Latin American Studies—can be considered part of ongoing efforts to bring the products of Brazilian and South American scholars to the English-speaking publics and to address transcultural and international circulations of geographical knowledge
