The Last Soldiers of the Cold War
Here is the story of political prisoners finally freed in December 2014, after being held captive by the United States since the late 1990s. Through the 1980s and 1990s, violent anti-Castro groups based in Florida carried out hundreds of military attacks on Cuba, bombing hotels and shooting up Cuban beaches with machine guns. The Cuban government struck back with the Wasp Network—a dozen men and two women—sent to infiltrate those organizations. The Last Soldiers of the Cold War tells the story of those unlikely Cuban spies and their eventual unmasking and prosecution by US authorities. Five of the Cubans received long or life prison terms on charges of espionage and murder. Global best-selling Brazilian author Fernando Morais narrates the riveting tale of the Cuban Five in vivid, page-turning detail, delving into the decades-long conflict between Cuba and the US, the growth of the powerful Cuban exile community in Florida, and a trial that eight Nobel Prize winners condemned as a travesty of justice. The Last Soldiers of the Cold War is both a real-life spy thriller and a searching examination of the Cold War’s legacy.
History of Brazilian Journalism
This book constitutes a first-of-its-kind synthesis of the development of journalism in Brazil, considering both its mediations with national social and political life and its relationships of influence and dependence on international economic centers. The author suggests that Brazilian journalism has so far known four phases: doctrinal political journalism, narrative literary journalism, industrial news journalism, and multimedia infotainment journalism. Devoting a chapter to each phase, Daros presents a critical map of the genesis and metamorphosis of journalistic practices in the country. The analysis goes beyond a mere study of national history to mark the points of connection between th...

Reform and Political Crisis in Brazil
This book examines the Brazilian political process in the period of 2003-2020: the governments led by the Workers’ Party and their reformist policies, the deep political crisis that led to the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff and the rise of Bolsonaro neofascism. The author maintains that the Party and ideological conflicts present in the Brazilian politics are linked to the class distributive conflicts present in the Brazilian society. Defeated for the fourth consecutive time in the presidential election, the political parties representing the international capital and segments of the bourgeoisie and of the middle class, abandoned the rules of the democratic game to end the Workers' Party government cycle. They paved the way for the rise of neofascism.

Contra o Sionismo
A Questão Palestina/Israel é um assunto que recebe muita atenção pública quando há eventos violentos como o ataque do Hamas no 07/10 e o massacre cometido por Israel na Faixa de Gaza a partir de então. Contudo, é um assunto que tem bibliografia escassa em português. Essa contradição permite que poucos possam monopolizar o debate. O resultado é a construção de uma áurea de complexidade singular que afasta muitas pessoas de esquerda da discussão e da solidariedade pela libertação dos palestinos. E mesmo aqueles que ousam cruzar essa linha são alvejados com críticas infundadas de antissemitismo. Este livro de autoria de Breno Altman faz uma precisa contribuição para o deba...
Gaza no coração
Gaza é, de alguma forma, o centro do mundo. E este livro se situa nesse campo, ao perseguir a realidade dos fatos e, ao mesmo tempo, oferecer subsídios para a desconstrução da interpretação hegemonicamente aceita que tem justificado o genocídio dos palestinos há 76 anos, ocasionando a pior de todas as crises: a crise de humanidade. Com o título inspirado no livro de poemas publicado pelo chileno Pablo Neruda em 1937 para tratar dos horrores da Guerra Civil Espanhola, Gaza no coração nasce de um sentimento de profunda angústia, mas também de um desejo poderoso de esperança e justiça. Por essa razão, a solidariedade é o fio condutor dos capítulos que formam a coletânea — e foi o tema gerador das reflexões desenvolvidas pelas autoras e autores. O resultado é um livro que trata de aspectos centrais da história do povo palestino, ao mesmo tempo que revela os fundamentos de sua histórica resistência. Um livro que é, para todas as pessoas envolvidas, uma obrigação moral, um compromisso ético e uma declaração de esperança. — Rafael Domingos Oliveira, na Introdução
If We Burn
The story of the recent uprisings that sought to change the world - and what comes next From 2010 to 2020, more people participated in protests than at any other point in human history. Yet we are not living in more just and democratic societies as a result. IF WE BURN is a stirring work of history built around a single, vital question: How did so many mass protests lead to the opposite of what they asked for? From the so-called Arab Spring to Gezi Park in Turkey, from Ukraine’s Euromaidan to student rebellions in Chile and Hong Kong, acclaimed journalist Vincent Bevins provides a blow-by-blow account of street movements and their consequences, recounted in gripping detail. He draws on four years of research and hundreds of interviews conducted around the world, as well as his own strange experiences in Brazil, where a progressive-led protest explosion led to an extreme-right government that torched the Amazon. Careful investigation reveals that conventional wisdom on revolutionary change is gravely misguided. In this groundbreaking study of an extraordinary chain of events, protesters and major actors look back on successes and defeats, offering urgent lessons for the future.
A trajetória de um publicitário comum
Esse livro nasceu dos anos de trabalho do autor como professor, palestrante e dirigente associativo empenhado na qualificação dos publicitários e na valorização dos estudantes de publicidade. Ele aborda assuntos do dia a dia que não estão presentes em outras publicações, tais como o modelo de negócio da propaganda brasileira e formas de remuneração, tudo isso inserido em uma narrativa que procura desconstruir os mitos da atividade.
