It contains Brazil's most impressive economic growth, but also, pockets of misery that have barely evolved since slaves worked the soils. In our report, we have sought to portray the Northeast broadly so you can appreciate its strengths and shortcomings. Real Brazil has emerged from a three-year research program in social policy at the University of Texas at Austin, which concluded this June. We dedicate this issue to our professor, adviser and friend Bob Wilson , who directed the program. Having lived and taught in Recife, Bob is closely linked to the Northeast, and he is one of Real Brazil 's strongest supporters.
Real Brazil welcomes collaborators for future editions.
