Journals from Travels to Brazil, 1986 (2 of 2)

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 7

Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This collection includes the research work of former Georgetown Law Professor, Joseph A. Page. While Page specialized in the fields of torts, product liability, and food, drug, and cosmetic regulation, the collection primarily details his research on Brazilian culture from the 1960s to the early 1990s. Specifically, the collection contains 23 travel journals detailing multiple trips to Brazil between 1964 and 1992. Within these journals, Page makes broad observations about Brazillian culture and other South American countries such as Argentina and Bolivia. These generalizations reflect his perception of South American cultures and could misrepresent these cultures in an inaccurate and/or offensive manner. These journal serve as the bulk of the collection. The collection also contains two folders of additional materials, including maps of Brazil and South America from 1972, 1987, and 1992 and materials from the U.S. Consulate in Recife, Brazil from 1959-1962 that Page received from his research request via the Freedom of Information Act in 1982.
