"Very insightful review of Brazil's history, its people, it's economy, and the reasons why it may or may not one day live up to its immense potential. I felt like I had special understanding of the nation's issues, particularly income disparity, due to my participation in this course."
- (Reginald Hart) ★★★★★

"I am enjoying this course -- I know a lot about Spain's presence in the Americas, but until now the colonization of Brazil has been a huge hole in my understanding. These lectures are clear, extremely well-organized and easy to follow. There is a wealth of information, so I find myself going back and repeating segments in order to absorb it all. It's fascinating. And the professor knows how to lecture."
