(Robert Stam, New York University), Brutality Garden is a wonderfully synthetic and knowledgeable account of one of the world's most profoundly innovative (yet little-known) cultural movements--Tropiclia. (Robert Stam, New York University), Dunn does a good job of minimizing postmodern terminology and maximizing delivery of the facts, clarifying the Tropicálists' goal of shattering Brazil's self-propagated image as a 'garden.' (Library Journal), From a northern perspective, this book is a window opening an alternative version of our own past, a cultural history of a parallel and magical universe--a universe fully equal to our own, although with the heat turned way up.

Synopsis
In the late 1960s, Brazilian artists forged a watershed cultural movement known as Tropicália. Music inspired by that movement is today enjoying considerable attention at home and abroad. Few new listeners, however, make the connection between this music and the circumstances surrounding its creation, the most violent and repressive days of the military regime that governed Brazil from 1964 to 1985. With key manifestations in theater, cinema, visual arts, literature, and especially popular music, Tropicália dynamically articulated the conflicts and aspirations of a generation of young, urban Brazilians.Focusing on a group of musicians from Bahia, an impoverished state in northeastern Brazil noted for its vibrant Afro-Brazilian culture, Christopher Dunn reveals how artists including Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, and Tom Zé created this movement together with the musical and poetic vanguards of São Paulo, Brazil's most modern and industrialized city. He shows how the tropicalists selectively appropriated and parodied cultural practices from Brazil and abroad in order to expose the fissure between their nation's idealized image as a peaceful tropical "garden" and the daily brutality visited upon its citizens., Tropicalia was a watershed cultural movement in Brazil.
