Voices of the Magi
Voices of the Magi explores the popular Catholic musical ensembles of southeastern Brazil known as folias de reis (companies of kings). Composed predominantly of low-income workers, the folias reenact the journey of the Wise Men to Bethlehem and back to the Orient, as they roam from house to house, singing to bless the families they visit in exchange for food and money. These gifts, in turn, are used to prepare a festival on Kings' Day, January 6, to which all who contributed are invited. Focusing on urban folias, Suzel Ana Reily shows how participants use the ritual journeys and musical performances of the folias to create sacred spheres distinct from, yet intimately related to, their everyday world. Reily calls this practice "enchantment" and argues that it allows the folia communities to temporarily make the social ideals of mutual reciprocity and equality embodied in their religious beliefs a reality. The contrast between their ritual experiences and the daily lives of these impoverished workers, in turn, reinforces the religious convictions of these devotees of the music of the Magi.

Black Into White
Published to wide acclaim in 1974, Thomas E. Skidmore's intellectual history of Brazilian racial ideology has become a classic in the field. Available for the first time in paperback, this edition has been updated to include a new preface and bibliography that surveys recent scholarship in the field. Black into White is a broad-ranging study of what the leading Brazilian intellectuals thought and propounded about race relations between 1870 and 1930. In an effort to reconcile social realities with the doctrines of scientific racism, the Brazilian ideal of "whitening"—the theory that the Brazilian population was becoming whiter as race mixing continued—was used to justify the recruiting of European immigrants and to falsely claim that Brazil had harmoniously combined a multiracial society of Europeans, Africans, and indigenous peoples.

Da Ditadura à Democracia
Este livro aborda a nova geração pós-golpe militar que acreditava estar ajudando a fazer revolução a partir do interior. Pode-se dizer que, para uma cidade pequena encravada na Zona da Mata Mineira, havia produzido um número substancial de pessoas com ideais de mudança. A cada palavra de ordem, um grito unindo e abrindo caminho numa comunidade conservadora. A narrativa passa pelo fim do MDB Jovem à formação do PT. Todo o radicalismo inicial, aos poucos, ia se arrefecendo com o passar do tempo. Divergências internas iam sendo abrandadas sem aprofundamento em nome da preservação e unidade do PT. Com o passar do tempo, um grupo organizado fora do partido ia conseguindo discretament...
Crianças e Jovens em Risco
"Este livro apresenta o resumo do trabalho efectuado no âmbito do Programa da Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian "Crianças e Jovens em Risco", iniciado em 2007. Em Agosto desse ano foi aberto concurso público, destinado à escolha de Programas de Formação Parental.
