Caio da Silva Prado Júnior (São Paulo, February 11, 1907 – São Paulo, November 23, 1990) was a Brazilian historian. His works inaugurated a Brazilian historiographic tradition identified with Marxism, but critical of Stalinist stageism and reductionism. == Biography == Caio Prado graduated with a degree in law from Faculdade do Largo de São Francisco, São Paulo in 1928, where he would later become a Professor of Political Economy. He was politically active during the 30's and 40's, including during the 1930 Revolution. In 1933, he published his first work - ''Evolução Política do Brasil'' (Political Evolution of Brazil) - an attempt to understand the country's political and social history. In 1934 he took part in the foundation of Brazilian Geographers Association. After a trip to the Soviet Union, at the time under Stalin's dictatorship, he published ''URSS - um novo mundo'' (Soviet Union - a New World), which was banned by Getúlio Vargas' government's censorship. He then joined the Aliança Nacional Libertadora which he chaired in São Paulo. In 1942 he published the classic ''Formação do Brasil Contemporâneo - Colônia'' (Formation of Contemporary Brazil - Colony, which should have been the first part of a work on Brazilian historic evolution. However, the following volumes were never written. In 1945 he was elected ''deputado estadual'' for the ''Brazilian Communist Party''. He published the newspaper ''A Platéia'' and, in 1943, with Arthur Neves and Monteiro Lobato, he founded Editora Brasiliense (Brasiliense Publishing House), for which, later, he published ''Revista Brasiliense'', between 1956 and 1964. After 1964, he was persecuted by the military dictatorship. In 1966 he was elected Intellectual of the Year by the União Brasileira de Escritores, following the publication of ''A revolução brasileira'' (Brazilian Revolution). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Caio Prado Júnior」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
