Developments in Brazilian Geography during the Twentieth Century Kempton E. Webb Department of Geography and Environmental Science William Paterson College Wayne, NJ 07470 INTRODUCTION The remarkable career of Preston E. James parallels in many striking ways the development of the Brazilian nation during the same period. More specifically, James and the field of geography in Brazil have had a mutually beneficial relationship for almost fifty years. In this essay I shall distinguish two principal periods in the development of Brazilian Geography: 1) 1920-1950 when Europeans (mainly French and Germans) dominated the geographical literature on Brazil thereby making knowledge of French and German essential; and 2) 1950-1980, covering the meteoric development of an indigenous Brazilian geography that was soundly conceived on a national and state scale and which has become an integral part of the educational and planning sectors of the Brazilian nation. James' career as a geographer spanned two whole generations and has enabled him to witness and to report on the incredible processes and patterns of transformation of Brazil from a truly underdeveloped country in the early 1900s to the country that has become a major world industrial power. GEOGRAPHY BEFORE 1920 In this section I submit that the quest for knowledge in the "pre-scientific" period of Brazil was basically for its own sake. In our present time the quest for knowledge of the earth has a graver significance: namely, the survival of nations
