The journal is published annually by the Department of Portuguese and Brazilian Studies at Brown University, and made possible with support from the Luso-American Development Foundation (FLAD).
The journal was founded in 1980 as part of Gávea-Brown Publications, a publishing house dedicated to making Portuguese literature and culture better known in the English-speaking world. In 2018, the Gávea-Brown journal, until then published in print, shifted to online publication in order to expand access to Portuguese-North American literature and studies.
You can access current and past issues of the journal for free in the Brown Digital Repository.
