A Tropical Belle Epoque: Elite Culture and Society in Turn-of-the-Century Rio de Janeiro: 62 (Cambridge Latin American Studies, Series Number 62)

A Tropical Belle Epoque: Elite Culture and Society in Turn-of-the-Century Rio de Janeiro This book, originally published in 1987, is a socio-cultural analysis of a tropical belle epoque: Rio de Janeiro between 1898 and 1914. It relates how the citys elite evolved from the semi-rural, slave-owning patriarchy of the coffee-port seat of a monarchy into an urbane, professional, rentier upper crust dominating the centre of a modernising oligarchical republic.
