Reviews
"Impressive research in Brazilian and Portuguese archives (especially those of the foreign ministries and the secret police), newspapers on three continents, memoirs, and interviews with retired Brazilian diplomats and intellectuals make this book a model diplomatic history and a sophisticated meditation on race and national identity." - Hendrik Kraay, Journal of Interdisciplinary History, "Jerry Dávila's insightful and very well-written book has arrived at an opportune moment. . . . The considerable strengths of Hotel Trópico rest on Dávila's solid prior scholarship on Brazil's race relations, unprecedented access to comparatively recent Brazilian diplomatic and Portuguese governmental archives, extended interviews with key players over five years, and broad institutional and collegial ties in several countries. The research is meticulous and copiously documented, the argumentation is skillful and clear, and the style is lively, detailed and almost novelistic in its narrative." - Wayne A. Selcher, The Americas, "Jerry Dávila has transformed the history of Brazil's diplomatic initiatives in Africa during the era of decolonization, adding not only depth and fascinating detail to this story, but also showing how the pursuit of a special Brazil-Africa relationship both drew upon Brazil's claims to be a 'racially democratic' nation, and laid bare the contradictions in those claims."--Barbara Weinstein, author of For Social Peace in Brazil: Industrialists and the Remaking of the Working Class in São Paulo, 19201964 " Hotel Trópico is a superb book. It takes on broad themes such as race and imperialism, modifies much of the current knowledge about Brazil's dictatorship, and suggests a re-evaluation of that form of government in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. Hotel Trópico will be read not only by scholars of Brazil and Latin America but also by those studying Africa, empire, and post-colonialism." --Jeffrey Lesser, author of A Discontented Diaspora: Japanese Brazilians and the Meanings of Ethnic Militancy, 19601980, “Hotel Tr pico is a superb book. It takes on broad themes such as race and imperialism, modifies much of the current knowledge about Brazil’s dictatorship, and suggests a reevaluation of that form of government in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. Hotel Tr pico will be read not only by scholars of Brazil and Latin America but also by those studying Africa, empire, and postcolonialism.â€�- Jeffrey Lesser , author of A Discontented Diaspora: Japanese Brazilians and the Meanings of Ethnic Militancy, 1960–1980, "This book is no standard diplomatic history. It falls within the genre of work-mostly related to the study of US foreign relations-that seeks to show how domestic race relations have left a profound mark on the conduct of foreign policy. . . . [A] well-written and insightful book. . . ." - Philip Chrimes, International Affairs, "This book is no standard diplomatic history. It falls within the genre of work--mostly related to the study of US foreign relations--that seeks to show how domestic race relations have left a profound mark on the conduct of foreign policy. . . .

Africa in fact served as a platform for Brazil to assert itself as an emerging world power in the 1960s. Dvila offers one of the most sophisticated and in-depth analyses of Brazil-Africa relations to date. One of the highlights of his book are the interviews, which capture quite vividly the complicated nexus among affect, culture, race, myth, desire, memory, and foreign policy." - Fernando Arenas, American Historical Review, "At a time when Brazil is garnering widespread attention as a global economic and geopolitical power, this book provides an indispensable historical framework to understand the conditions that have led to this status.
