During much of the military regime in Brazil (1964-1985), an elaborate but illegal system of restrictions prevented the press from covering important news or criticizing the government. In this intriguing new book, Anne-Marie Smith investigates why the press acquiesced to this system, and why this state-administered system of restrictions was known as self-censorship. Smith argues that it was routine, rather than fear, that kept the lid on Brazils press. The banality of state censorship-a mundane, encompassing set of automatically repeated procedures that functioned much like any other state bureaucracy-seemed impossible to circumvent. While the press did not consider the censorship legitimate, they were never able to develop the resources to overcome censorships burdensome routines.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Much of the material used here could not have been located by conventional means, for example the original handwritten articles for a now defunct journal, heavily marked by the censor and later stored in soggy cardboard cartons, which at one point lay in the alley behind the home of a journalist's relative. I appreciate the cooperation of many individuals in the Brazilian press in tracking down such sources. I would also like to thank the staffs of the Biblioteca Bastos Tigre of the Associao Brasileira de Imprensa, the Centro de Imprensa Alternativa e Cultura Popular of RioArte, and the archives of the Estado de So Paulo, the Folha de So Paulo, and the Jornal do Brasil. Jonathan Fox, Josh Cohen, and Thomas Skidmore made many helpful comments on an earlier version of this study. I also thank William Savedoff for all of his editorial suggestions, those I rejected as well as those I accepted.
All quotations from Portuguese sources were translated by the author. All interviews cited in endnotes were conducted by the author.
