About Amy de Farias
I fell in love with history during a Western
Civilization class, which is why this is one of my
favorite courses to teach at MC. Later, I discovered
Latin American history and, in particular, the history
of Brazil. My enthusiasm for Brazil was so great that I
moved there in 1992 and only returned in 2002. In
addition to my love of history, I enjoy studying foreign
languages and I absolutely adore soccer.
