Claude Levi-Strauss, internationally known as brilliant and sometimes controversial anthropologist, is also skilled and sensitive photographer. Saudades do Brasil - nostalgia for Brazil, from title of musical composition by Darius Milhaud - presents 180 of more than 3000 photographs Levi-Strauss took in Brazil between 1935 and 1939. While serving as professor of sociology at University of Sao Paulo, young ethnographer made expeditions among natives of Mato Grosso and Southern Amazonia that resulted in numerous publications, most notably Tristes Tropiques. Most of these photographs are published here for first time. Levi-Strauss begins his photographic memoir in Sao Paulo, then frontier city rapidly changing to an industrial metropolis, city with a singular beauty, due to breaks in rhythm, architectural paradoxes, contrasting shapes and colors. The rest of photographs chronicle Levi-Strauss's expeditions among Caduveo, Bororo, Nambikwara, and other tribes - the last escapees from cataclysm that discovery and subsequent invasions had been for their ancestors. His pictures capture Amazonian landscape, people, and their activities, social lives, and ceremonies. Informative captions by Levi-Strauss enhance ethnographic and human interest of his photographs. Saudades do Brasil will be of interest to anthropologists, photographers, and readers concerned with part of world that is geographically remote but globally significant.
