Cape Verde, Let's Go
Musicians rapping in kriolu--a hybrid of Portuguese and West African languages spoken in Cape Verde--have recently emerged from Lisbon's periphery. They popularize the struggles with identity and belonging among young people in a Cape Verdean immigrant community that shares not only the kriolu language but its culture and history. Drawing on fieldwork and archival research in Portugal and Cape Verde, Derek Pardue introduces Lisbon's kriolu rap scene and its role in challenging metropolitan Portuguese identities. Pardue demonstrates that Cape Verde, while relatively small within the Portuguese diaspora, offers valuable lessons about the politics of experience and social agency within a postco...
Death on the Move
This volume explores the different aspects of the management of death, dying and mortality by migrants in Southern Europe, through deconstructing persistent idiosyncratic beliefs, myths, narratives, silences, and constraints. It focuses on migrants from diverse geographical and cultural backgrounds in Portugal, Spain and Italy. It also includes reflections on Madagascar, Guinea-Bissau, East-Timor and Cuba. The thirteen chapters provide insights into epistemological issues, the trans-national circulation of bodies, spirits and rituals, migration, the placing of the dead and diverse funerary practices and perspectives. Privileging a multi-sited approach to death and migrations, this book draws on oral, archival and published sources to give visibility to populations that often live in liminal structural positions and transient worlds. By exploring the multifaceted dimensions of death and suffering among immigrant populations, it refocuses the debate on migration in Europe and beyond by highlighting under-researched issues such as end-of-life care, mental health, death, burial, cremation, funerary ceremonies and symbols, repatriation and martyrdom.

Projeto de investigação financiado pela Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia, no âmbito do Protocolo com o Alto Comissariado para a Imigração e o Diálogo Intercultural, e desenvolvido pelo Centro de Estudos Sociais, em parceria com o CESNOVA. A obra procura responder às seguintes questões: Quais as razões para a falta de mobilização dos potenciais votantes estrangeiros em Portugal? Como explicar o facto de muitos dos que integram o grupo de recenseados serem eleitos com sucesso? De que maneira o envolvimento dos imigrantes em instituições democráticas formalmente representativas ao nível local difere do comportamento da maioria? Será que este facto reproduz substancialmente a matriz política da sociedade portuguesa?

The Atlantic Forest
The Atlantic Forest is one of the 36 hotspots for biodiversity conservation worldwide. It is a unique, large biome (more than 3000 km in latitude; 2500 in longitude), marked by high biodiversity, high degree of endemic species and, at the same time, extremely threatened. Approximately 70% of the Brazilian population lives in the area of this biome, which makes the conflict between biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of the human population a relevant issue. This book aims to cover: 1) the historical characterization and geographic variation of the biome; 2) the distribution of the diversity of some relevant taxa; 3) the main threats to biodiversity, and 4) possible opportunities to ensure the biodiversity conservation, and the economic and social sustainability. Also, it is hoped that this book can be useful for those involved in the development of public policies aimed at the conservation of this important global biome.
Chico Xavier: l’homme et le médium
La préoccupation essentielle du Spiritisme au Brésil n’est pas d’apporter des preuves de la réalité de la communication avec les Esprits, mais de mettre la pratique médiumnique au service du bien-être de l’homme. Rien ne peut mieux illustrer les différents aspects de la culture spirite brésilienne que la vie de Chico Xavier. Respecté et apprécié par toutes les communautés religieuses de son Pays, considéré par certains comme un saint, il a incarné toutes les vertus chrétiennes et en particulier l’humilité. Véritable icône du Spiritisme brésilien, il a été le médium le plus complet et le plus prolifique de sa génération. À la lecture de ce livre consacré à la biographie de Chico Xavier, vous comprendrez pourquoi cet homme et ce médium, par sa vie et par son œuvre, a marqué profondément et durablement le Spiritisme.
