      • 1908, William Thomas Arnold -, German Ambitions as They Affect Britain and the United States of America:

        The whole effort is at present directed to nothing more than the prevention of the Brazilianisation of the Germans in Brazil. It is all quite natural ; but it is also quite natural that the Brazilian Government, which has to look on at this systematic effort to prevent a large portion of its subjects from feeling themselves to be first and foremost- Brazilians, should entertain ' suspicions.'

      • 1950, Charles Dunlop, The South American Journal - Volumes 147-148, page 193:

      • 1976, Art and Artists - Volume 11, page 36:

        Thereafter, the process of 'Brazilianisation' went ahead, marked by curiously similar phases of autochthonous adaptation and recreation, and each time there was a reaffirmation of that simple gracefulness and delicate sensualism which became eventually the distinctive characteristic of the country's best architecture.

      • 2014, Johannes Fiedler, Urbanisation, unlimited: A Thematic Journey, →ISBN, page 18:
