«Kenneth David Jackson is one of the most prominent scholars devoted to Brazilian studies. A leading world researcher, David Jackson offers a groundbreaking contribution to the understanding of the Brazilian Avant-Garde, whose 100 years will be celebrated in 2022. A timely publication, this book will become a classic reference on the topic.» (Professor João Cezar de Castro Rocha, State University of Rio de Janeiro)
«Cannibal Angels offers a timely and illuminating reconsideration of the Brazilian avant-garde and a rigorous examination of Brazil's entangled historical and cultural connections with Europe. Developing around such fertile themes as voyage, portraiture, improvisation, and utopian primitivism, and anchored in a wide-ranging and deeply knowledgeable transatlantic perspective, this probing exploration of Brazilian modernism is certain to remain an essential reference text for years to come.» (Professor Luís Madureira, University of Wisconsin-Madison)
