Description: "Comprehensive treatment of modernization of late-19th-century Campinas examines how conflicts between traditional senhorial values and those of a rising commercial/capitalist bourgeoisie played out in social, economic, and built relations of the city. Because of the costs of 'recycling,' it proved preferable to 'make invisible' (i.e., camouflage or destroy) buildings and remove persons that did not fit the new image. Thoroughly researched, with many excellent photographs"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
