Who are the Brazilian people? In this landmark won people? In rk, Brazil's greatest thinker, Darcy Ribeiro, gives an answer forged from his people's own history. He traces the violent yet creative collision of Indigenous, African, and European matrices, revealing a demographic machinery that both "breeds" and "consumes." Ribeiro dissects class, color, and prejudice beneath the surface of Brazil's brilliant culture, and maps five centuries of change across five socio-cultural regions. The result is a portrait of a genuinely plural Brazil—where coexistence, conflict, and fusion fuel both contradictions and creativity. To read this book is to witness a still‑emerging multiracial society—a "Tropical Rome"—struggle toward its destiny, offering the world another path to human convergence. Combining rigorous anthropology with public passion, this thirty‑year Brazilian classic finally reaches Chinese readers with the full force of its original insight.
巴西人是谁？
这不仅是国族之问，更是文明之问。国宝级思想家、巴西灵魂的“解剖者”达西·里贝罗，在这部毕生思想的结晶中，立足于巴西人民自身的历史经验，给出了巴西人自己的回答。
本书以史诗般的笔触与结构性的洞察，完成了对巴西民族的宏大诊断。它始于世界的碰撞——南美洲印第安人、非洲黑人与欧洲白人三大“母体”的血火交融与文明错位，深刻揭示了塑造民族的人口构成——既有融合性的“繁育”，亦有残酷的“消耗”。
里贝罗毫不留情地剖析了辉煌文化之下阶级、肤色与偏见交织的深层社会结构，通过五大社会文化区在族群认同、社会经济结构、生产技术体系上近五百年的演变与当代现状，为我们展开一幅多元巴西的真实图景：多种族并存、冲突、融合，构成了这个国家矛盾与创造力的根源。
理解这部作品，不仅是理解巴西何以成为巴西，更是观察一个“正在成形”的多种族社会，一个“热带罗马”新民族，如何艰难而壮丽地探寻自身命运，并试图为人类的融合提供另一种可能。
全书融合人类学、历史分析与公共关怀，兼具学术深度与大众可读性，是巴西国民性、现象级读物，30年来，销量稳居前列，长销不衰。中文版保留原书思想锋芒，辅以详尽注释与导读，帮助中国读者理解巴西这一“未来之国”的历史逻辑与现实挑战，为思考中国乃至世界其他地区的城乡差异、民族融合与文化自信提供真实的参照。
