Descrição
Colonization, cult, culture. Three words that are similar due to their common verbal root. Colonization refers to the process by which the conqueror occupies and explores new lands and dominates their natural lands. Worship refers to the memory of the gods and ancestors that winners and losers celebrate. Culture is not only the inheritance of values but also the project of a more human coexistence. Each concept responds to a temporal dimension: the present, the past and the future. In chapters ranging from Anchieta to the cultural industry, Alfredo Bosi, the renowned author of the classic Concise History of Brazilian Literature, sensitively pursues the historical forms that linked colonization , cult and culture: Dialectic of colonization is the result of this sui generis path in the history of Brazilian thought
