Pretty Modern: Beauty, Sex, and Plastic Surgery in Brazil by Alexander Edmonds

 



It's difficult for me not to enjoy a book on Brazil. I agree with a previous reviewer on the author's mislabeling of a luminary: on page 213, he states Naomi Campbell is African-American. Naomi Campbell is a confirmed black British woman. Other than that, I noticed no other errors. I prefer when ethnographies stick exclusively to oral history. Some of the analysis could go over some people's heads.


I read this on my initiative and it was a pleasurable use of time.
