7: Brazil - Questions of Geography
'One immense font of love' is the way Jorge Amado , Latin America's most popular writer, describes Brazil, a country created from the intermarriage of Africans with Indians with Portugese in the struggle to tame the natural environment.
Today, the Brazilians are trying to reconcile the conflicting demands of progress and preservation, a dilemma which finds expression, often humorous and light-hearted, in their art and literature, their dance and music, and in Carnival the most spectacular display of popular culture in the world.
