Title:

The colonization and recolonization of Brazil
(On the right, occupying a position on the eastern coast, standing by a caravel, is a Portuguese colonizer, whipping an Indian. On the right, taking up the westward position occupied by the United States in relation to Brazil, one reads the wordplay "Quem USA o Brasil não o ama" ("whoever USES Brazil does not love it). As the acronym for the United States and the verb "to use" read the same in Portuguese, the suggestion is that the United States are using and recolonizing Brazil.)
