Livro de Homenagem a Augusto de Athayde
"Augusto de Athayde (foi) um açoriano ilustre e credor do nosso reconhecimento. Exactamente por isso, a Região Autónoma dos Açores, por deliberação unânime da sua Assembleia Legislativa, decidiu agraciá-lo, em 2014, com a Insígnia Autonómica de Mérito. Acresce ainda o seu amor ao Jardim José do Canto e o seu compromisso com a defesa e valorização desse ex libris de Ponta Delgada, que tanto orgulha a ilha de São Miguel e os Açores, liderando a sua família também nessa empreitada de honrar a memória dos seus antepassados e de contribuir para o enriquecimento do património natural das nossas ilhas" Vasco Alves Cordeiro, Presidente do Governo Regional dos Açores

Angola's Colossal Lie
Angola's Colossal Lie. Forced Labor on a Sugar Plantation, 1913-1977 is the first in-depth study of forced labor on a Portuguese-owned sugar plantation in colonial Angola. A prominent Portuguese civil servant dubbed the labor system in Angola a “colossal lie” because the reality so contradicted the law. Using extensive oral history interviews with former forced laborers, Jeremy Ball explains how Angolans experienced forced labor. Ball also interviews former Portuguese administrators to provide multiple perspectives about the transition to independence and the nationalization of the plantation.

The Modernist Movement in Brazil
“Ask an authority on Brazilian culture what he considers to be the most significant artistic event in Brazil during this century,” observes John Nist, “and he will quickly reply, ‘The Modern Art Week Exhibition, staged in Sao Paulo in February, 1922.’ This public demonstration and aesthetic manifesto represented a cut with the past, a violent break with tradition unparalleled in Brazilian history. The fact that Brazilians still discuss the poetical renovation achieved by Modernism shows how strongly the movement attacked and questioned traditional attitudes, cherished preconceptions, prejudiced aspects of a national sensibility that still persists, in some quarters, to this day. As...
