For Louis A. Prez Jr.

Scholar, Mentor, and Friend

They like almost all our products, from hot dogs to automobiles, from chain stores to trailer camps. They want to make Brazil another United States of America: with more motion picture shows, radio and television, modern plumbing, electric refrigerators and everything else we have.

Nations Business, January 1945

They only know American methods and know nothing of Brazilian peculiarities. We know Brazilian peculiarities and also American methods, which are not an obscure subject matter and which are at our disposal in libraries and bookstores.

Auriclio Penteado (1951)

We accept the business philosophy that has communication with the masses as its greatest premise. We repeat for the hundredth time: we are an advertising-minded people.

Manoel de Vasconcellos (1956)

They are agents of the economic development of the Country, for it is well known that advertising is one of the most useful instruments in the expansion of productive activities today. They learned that difficult art with the Americans and transmitted their experience to other Brazilians.

Boletim Cambial, August 1959

We are beginning to be a people of consumers. The workers are beginning to have a, shall we say, middle-class consciousness. They are beginning to become consumers and the class struggle is nothing more than an outdated slogan.

Carlos Lacerda (1964)

If we continue on the same path, if we are able to transmit to the Brazilians an ever-greater repertoire of needs; if we are able to mobilize our own energies to attend to these needs, then we will create an internal market that will sustain the Brazilian economy.

Antonio Delfim Netto (1971)

It is they.

They who?

The white enemies.

I dont understand.

Wait.

Jos de Alencar, O Guaran i (1857), pt. 2, chap. 12

Who is this we, Kemosabe?

Preface

A classe C vai ao paraso!

(Class C goes to paradise!)

The words were everywhere in Brazil as the first decade of the twenty-first century ended. Few literate Brazilians could have escaped seeing them or hearing them, and everyone apparently knew what they meant. Indeed, even Brazilians who contested the statements basis in fact knew exactly what it was supposed to signify.

That meaning, of course, was not immediately apparent to visitors from abroad or most observers from afar. Who made up class C? What sort of paradiseterrestrial or otherhad they encountered? The answers to these two questions, in plain English, would be that class C was the working poor, a majority of Brazils population, in cities and towns from the Amazon to the pampas of the south, for whom paradise consisted in having, for the first time in their countrys history, sufficient means to become full-fledged participants in the world of consumer goods and services epitomized by an abundance of home appliances and access to household credit, culminating, for the truly fortunate, in a late-model family car. That was what the statement meant to Brazilians, who used the term class C as social shorthand and took it for granted that heaven on earth resided in the products and promotions of consumer capitalism.
