"The Rio Reader is an excellent source of materials for the classroom in all the multiple fields of urban history from a social, political, economic, or cultural perspective. They would come handy on any course focusing on global history, the Black Atlantic, port cities, planning history (in addition to courses on Latin American history in general). Even more, the book is a perfect companion for a visit to Rio de Janeiro: it triggers a truly historical imagination to unpack a city in which past and present form a chaotic amalgam." - Leandro Benmergui (Planning Perspectives)
