Rezensionen / Stimmen

"In this superb volume, Luna and Klein play to their strengths, documenting in immense factual detail the key facets of social and economic change in Sao Paulo from 1950 to 2020. A fundamental reference for anyone who seeks to understand the distinctiveness of Sao Paulo and the developing world more generally."-William Summerhill, University of California, Los Angeles "In classic Luna and Klein style, this book brings their sweeping series on Sao Paulo into the twenty-first century. It offers a much-needed examination of how Sao Paulo's classic agricultural-to-industrial-success story has changed since 1950, and the effects of those changes on the economic and social development of the most vibrant economy in Latin America and the economic heart of Brazil."-Anne G. Hanley, Northern Illinois University "Recommended."-B. A. Lucero, CHOICE "Social Change, Industrialization, and the Service Economy in Sao Paulo, 1950-2020 is both encyclopedic in its findings and highly readable as a history book. Luna and Klein have done a great deal of important work in pushing forward the study of Sao Paulo from the late colonial era to the present. This volume is a terrific addition to the historiography."-Joel Wolfe, Hispanic American Historical Review
