Why Brazilianism?

Brazilianists are people that are supposed to have a sanitized North American vision of Brazil just because they where born overseas.
I'm here in Canada, so far from my tropical origins that this brain pasteurization only took place because of my frail memory. When we where rushing to the airport in May 1990, I barely had time to take a snapshot of the life I was leaving behind.
As my brazilian friens abhor writing plus the then incredible high price of phone calls, my longing for the mother land became slowly a vague blurry memory - a brazilianist by abandon.
Here you can find a more critical, elaborated and very acid vision of Brazilianism http://www.brazilmax.com/news4.cfm/tborigem/fe_society/id/11 Read at your own risk of boredom.
