Brazilian Sociology
Brazilian Sociology is a field of study that examines the social structures, cultural dynamics, and historical contexts of Brazil. It explores issues such as inequality, race, and urbanization, often drawing on the works of influential sociologists like Gilberto Freyre and Florestan Fernandes. This discipline seeks to understand the complexities of Brazilian society through various theoretical frameworks.
The discipline has evolved significantly since the early 20th century, influenced by both local and global sociological theories. Brazilian sociologists often engage with topics like social movements, migration, and gender studies, contributing to a broader understanding of social phenomena in Brazil and beyond.
