Back in the 90s when I was a college student, Brazilian scholar Darcy Ribeiro visited Indiana University to give a lecture on his theories of race and culture in Latin America. (We discussed his ideas at length back in episode 15.) I attended his talk and recorded it with my trusty audio cassette recorder. The last time I was in the US, I managed to track down the tape and now offer it here as a digital download. This was recorded on September 19, 1992.
So interesting and Inspiring! After listening to this episode I will make time to find other books or written articles from Darcy Ribeiro. He gave me a new view of Brazil and the world from this lecture.
And thank you Kinsey for the effort in finding this tape, editing it and uploading for all of us to hear. The sound is good enough and it is worth a little effort to hear the tape if the content is so good.
I enjoyed this episode and I am looking forward for next gems that you will post.

Mike, I'm glad you liked it. I was a bit worried about the sound quality, but I'm happy to hear that you were able to get through it. The best book to read in order to learn more about what he discussed in the lecture is The Americas and Civilization.
