Books by Charles A. Perrone

A critical study of MPB (musica popular brasileira), a term that refers to varieties of urban popular music of the 1960s and 1970s, incorporating samba, Bossa Nova, and new materials.

Brazil has placed poetry at the forefront of dialogue and debate about the limits and uses of art and the nature of nationalism. This book charts the course of Brazilian poetry in the contemporary period through the principal currents, multiple tendencies, and aesthetic tensions that have made the Brazilian lyric so creatively diverse.
