Jahrestag der unblutigen Revolution in Portugal erzählt Joachim Stengel die Geschichte der amerikanischen Studentin Julia auf ihrem Weg durch die Wirren der Revolution, während sie sich zwischen zwei Männern und zwei Lebensentwürfen entscheiden muss.

Ein Buch, das den Geist einer Epoche einfängt, das von der Kraft der Liebe und den Möglichkeiten des Wandels erzählt.
“Livremente” trata de temas profundos em linguagem leve, enquanto conta peripécias, interações ou simples digressões da vida de uma mulher comum, habitante de um país patriarcal, racista, desigual, iníquo mas também diverso, fascinante e alegre, porque sempre acredita que amanhã vai ser outro dia (melhor). Se os personagens são todos reais, inclusive os inventados, é capaz de você se achar no emaranhado dessas histórias. Livremente inspirado em fatos é parecido com uma manhã de domingo porque tais manhãs podem conter tanto a ressaca quanto a festa.
Daughters of the Diaspora features the creative writing of 20 Hispanophone women of African descent, as well as the interpretive essays of 15 literary critics. The collection is unique in its combination of genres, including poetry, short stories, essays, excerpts from novels and personal narratives, many of which are being translated into English for the first time. They address issues of ethnicity, sexuality, social class and self-representation and in so doing shape a revolutionary discourse that questions and subverts historical assumptions and literary conventions. Miriam DeCosta-Willis's comprehensive Introduction, biographical sketches of the authors and their chronological arrangement within the text, provide an accessible history of the evolution of an Afra-Hispanic literary tradition in the Caribbean, Africa and Latin America. The book will be useful as textbook in courses in Africana Studies, Women's Studies, Caribbean, Latina and Latin American Studies as well as courses in literature and the humanities.

New Books Network: Modernization Dreams, Lusotropical Promises What history and motivations make up the discourses we are taught to hold, and spread, as common sense? As a member of Brazil's upper middle class, Ana Beatriz Ribeiro grew up with the image that to be developed was to be as European as possible. However, as a researcher in Europe during her country's Workers' Party era, she kept reading that Africans should be repaid for developing Brazilian society – via Brazil's "bestowal" of development upon Africa as an "emerging power." In Modernization Dreams, Lusotropical Promises, the researcher investigates where these two worldviews might intersect, diverge and date back to, gauging relations between representatives and projects of the Brazilian and Mozambican states, said to be joined in cooperation more than others.
