Paulo Cesar Pereira Loyola reviews José Donizete Cazzolato's book, “Novos Estados e a Divisão Territorial do Brasil: uma visão geográfica” (“New Territorial Division of the States and Brazil: a geographic perspective”).

The Center for Metropolitan Studies (CEM) and Publisher 34 will releasethe book “São Paulo: New Routes and Actors, Society, Culture and Politics” on December 8.

Geographer José Cazzolato, who advocates the division of Pará, says that territorial equality leads to the equality of people.

Proposed division of SP causes controversy.

The proposal of division in three states has created a dispute between the service sector, concentrated in the metropolitan region of Belém, and agricultural, with a strength in the countryside.

In his new book, geographer argues for the division of São Paulo State territory into two parts.
