Curran's Cordel Connection

Fifty Years of Research on Brazil

50-years-of-research-on-brazilThis book is a photographic journey of fifty years of research on Brazil and its folk-popular poetry, the "literatura de cordel." The photos taken by the author over these fifty years are divided into three parts: 1. The poets and the printers of "cordel" 2.The intellectuals, informants and friends associated with the research and 3. The fairs, markets and scenes of folklore related to the research. Each photo, when applicable, is followed by a description of the scene or person. This archive includes many persons and scenes that are no longer present in Brazil thus documenting the reality of those times. The book is a companion book to the complete story of the story-poems and their authors seen in his recent "Portrait of Brazil in the Twentieth Century - the Universe of the 'Literatura de Cordel'".
