G. Reginald Daniel, Machado de Assis: Multiracial Identity and the Brazilian Novelist<\/em><\/a> (University Park, PA: Pennsylvania State University Press, 2012), pp. xi + 338, \\$74.95, hb.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this smart, ambitiously interdisciplinary, and exhaustively researched book,\u00a0G. Reginald Daniel<\/a>, Professor of Sociology at UCSB<\/a> and pioneer in the study of\u00a0multiracial identity and experience from a transnational perspective, considers\u00a0the life and work of Machado de Assis<\/a>. It is a sweeping book that draws upon\u00a0the vastness of Machadian studies, in which Daniel is clearly versed, along with\u00a0the sociology of race and culture, literary history and periodization<\/a>, and theories\u00a0of modernity<\/a> and postmodernism<\/a>. In\u00a0 its engagement with this range of\u00a0theoretical and disciplinary configurations, Daniel\u2019s book, organized into an\u00a0introduction, nine chapters, and an epilogue co-authored with Gary L. Haddow<\/a>,\u00a0is in some senses two books in one, each with a distinct yet analogous\u00a0argument. Each line of inquiry results in a significant and original contribution\u00a0to Machadian studies. Combined, they position Daniel\u2019s book as the most thorough\u00a0English-language treatment of the Brazilian writer\u2019s life and work since\u00a0John Gledson\u2019s<\/a> translation of Roberto Schwarz\u2019s<\/a> A Master on the Periphery of\u00a0Capitalism<\/em><\/a> (Duke UP, 2001). Standing along with Earl Fitz\u2019s<\/a> Machado de Assis\u00a0and Female Characterization<\/em><\/a> (Bucknell UP, 2014), and a welcome round of\u00a0new translations, Daniel\u2019s book will help to reinvigorate and deepen Machado\u2019s\u00a0reception among English-language readers and his stature among the major\u00a0figures of world literature…<\/p>\n
