	Anti-Americanism in Brazil - Council on Foreign Relations
		Moisés Naím, editor of Foreign Policy, attributes this disconnect between U.S. and popular reactions in Latin America to what he calls "historical anti-Americanism." But it is less obvious why this should be the case in Brazil.
		Brazil's diplomatic elites have long been preoccupied by U.S. predominance, and have long wished to see Brazil play the role of a counterbalance to the colossus of the north; but Brazil and the United States have never gone to war, and they have at times—as in World War II—actually fought together against common enemies.
		Published in Brazil's O Estado de São Paulo on September 20, da Matta's column "The Brazilian View of the American Tragedy" helped set the record straight, though his voice unfortunately seems to be very much still a voice in the wilderness.
