Abstract
The academic life is sometimes filled by a curious sequel of events and coincidences. I have never meet in person Marina Massimi, the author of this volume titled Psychological Knowledge and Practices in Brazilian Culture. Yet, our lives crossed already several times and all the times it was because her publications. Marina Massimi is, indeed, one of the most prominent scholar in the History of Psychology in South America and I had already a taste of her vaste knowledge about the historical roots of psychological and education sciences in the Brazilian context, in a volume I co-edited some years ago (Massimi 2015) to which Dr. Massimi contributed. I am very glad to host again her work within Latin America Voices Book Series that will serve as an international “sounding board” for her investigation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
