Spanning a period of over 450 years, The Rio de Janeiro Reader traces Rio's history, culture, and politics. It contains a mix of primary documents—many appearing in English for the first time—that present the "Marvelous City" in all its complexity, importance, and intrigue. Brazil's hosting of the 2014 FIFA World Cup and Rio's hosting of the 2016 Olympics make this an especially timely volume.
