Portuguese and Brazilian Studies

Gávea-Brown: A Bilingual Journal | Revista Bilingue

The mission of the Gávea-Brown: A Bilingual Journal of Portuguese-North American Letters and Studies (ISSN: 2641-0400) is to publish works relating to the Portuguese experience in North America. The scope is broad, including editorially reviewed academic articles, documents, interviews, translations, book reviews and creative works (both literary and visual).

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.
