Nacionalismo ressurge: Brasil finalmente acorda para soberania? - Christian Lynch

Christian Lynch discusses a theme that is gaining momentum: the resurgence of Brazilian nationalism and the crucial question of sovereignty. Lynch analyzes why Brazil is "waking up" to the importance of being a "being for itself"—a concept by Guerreiro Ramos that explains the difference between being autonomous and depending on another country. He shows that many Brazilians, historically, accepted being a kind of "elegant colony" of the United States, when Brazil had the potential to be a true power.
