Through a series of letters penned over the 17 months they spent in the back country during 1989 and 1990, they describe their work and life, Susan as a researcher on fertility and health among rural women and Fred as a high-school teacher and mentor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe intimate and anecdotal letters shine a comprehensive light on the socioeconomic and political landscape of Brazil in the early 1990s; the everyday lives and struggles of the people who lived and worked there; and the Brems couple's own experiences as residents of such a community. The stark differences between Northeast Brazilian and American cultures are illustrated with deference, humor and more than a touch of self-reflection, a read both fascinating and educational.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Olympia Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50632002371858,"sku":"9781804392768","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_050da502-ff85-4bc3-8bcb-f1e8c5b7b26d.jpg?v=1732787489","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/another-brazil-heard-from-9781804392768","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
