Compare and contrast Pêro Vaz de Caminha’s “Letter to Manuel I of Portugal” and Nelson Pereira dos
Santos’ How Tasty was my Little Frenchman. Be sure to address them as documents and relate them to
their respective contexts. How do they complement each other as depictions of a moment and of the
Portuguese colonial presence in Brazil? How does Pereira dos Santos’ film serve as a critique of
documents like Vaz da Caminha’s “Letter”? Be sure to substantiate your discussion with specific
examples from each. Call, as well, upon some of the other sources that we have read to enrich and
contextualize your discussion.
