Despite the recent explosion of scholarly interest in "star studies," Brazilian film has received comparatively little attention. As this volume demonstrates, however, the richness of Brazilian stardom extends well beyond the ubiquitous Carmen Miranda. Among the studies assembled here are fascinating explorations of figures such as Eliane Lage (the star attraction of S???o Paulo's Vera Cruz studios), cult horror movie auteur Coffin Joe, and L???zaro Ramos, the most visible Afro-Brazilian actor today.

FROM THE PUBLISHER-The strength and originality of this tightly edited volume lie in its historical perspective and comprehensiveness. Each chapter works well on its own, but also forms part of a larger design, and the editors have done an excellent job in mapping the terrain of stardom in Brazil over a century. I know of no other volume, focused on the cinemas of Latin America, that attempts the same chronological range, from early cinema to the present day. -John King, University of Warwick. The richness of Brazilian stardom extends well beyond the ubiquitous Carmen Miranda, and among the studies assembled in this volume are fascinating explorations of figures alongside interrogations of the inner workings of the star system in Brazil, from the pioneering efforts of silent-era actresses to the recent advent of the non-professional movie star. inventory #43520.
