111. Vasconcelos, Silvio De 1974 The Cultural Miracle of Minas Gerais. Américas 26:2:2-8 (February). An interesting, if fanciful, account of eighteenth century mineiro society. The author puts forth several unsubstantiated claims. His descriptions of mineiro society as democratic' with a ‘broad distribution of wealth’ is difficult to accept. His equation of mineiro music with that of Bach seems chauvinistic. The analysis of Aleijadinho is equally superficial and adulatory. The sculptor's reputation is established. His work is his testament.Google Scholar
