Fear and Memory in the Brazilian Army and Society, 1889-1954
For more than half a century, the Brazilian army used fear and censorship to erase aspects of its history from public memory and to create its own political myths. Although the military had remarkable success in promoting its version of events, recent democratization has allowed scholars access to new materials with which to challenge the "official story." Drawing on oral histories, secret police documents, memoirs of dissident officers, army records, and other sources only recently made available, Shawn Smallman crafts a compelling, revisionist interpretation of Brazil's political history from 1889 to 1954. Smallman examines the topics the Brazilian military wished to obscure--racial politi...
Sertão-Mar
Do árido às correntes que brotam vida, do sertão ao mar, assim se estrutura a obra de Caio Miranda, autor paulista cujas palavras brincam de autopontuar-se – por vezes, atiradas na página, evocando silêncios, impossibilidades de coesão; por vezes, pulando linhas, tecendo caminhos que nem sempre seguem a lógica clássica do enjambement. Sertão-Mar faz mosaico, grito e doçura de temas difíceis e atuais como a política estatal genocida e a necessidade de atendermos ao social.
Liberation Through Yoga
This book is addressed to everyone who desires to evolve and transcend the limits of human potential. It reveals the laws of the universe that are well-defined in the Yogic Philosophy; laws that are exposed here in a unique, succinct fashion by Caio Miranda. Liberation through Yoga is the result of a lifetime dedicated to the research of yoga. It becomes a landmark in our lives for it refines our vision of the world, opens a portal to a broader consciousness, and delivers teachings that awaken us to a richer, fuller life. These teachings are rare jewels, and the benefits they provide are invaluable, given the depth and clarity with which the author exposes complex subjects such as the formation of the universes and solar systems, as well as the origin and constitution of Man. The writing style reflects the authenticity of the author and his pledge to the truth and to what he believes to be morally just and correct. This work is his contribution to a deeper and more extensive understanding of life and the sense of existence itself.
Protest Movements as Media Vehicles of the Brazilian New Right
This book investigates right-wing populism in Brazil. It is a unique study of the major protest movements of the New Right that dominated the streets of São Paulo from 2014 to 2018 and acted as a prelude to Jair Bolsonaro’s election. Examining the populist rhetoric that circulated among the movements’ online followers, McLean reveals the formation of different right-wing publics and gives insight into the topics that have the greatest impact on public political debate. Through interviewing multiple activists and observing them at political events, McLean also exposes motivations for engaging in political action and demonstrates how the movements act as media vehicles of the New Right. Such an intimate study on the Brazilian New Right has never before been carried out in such in-depth detail.

Guaraná
In this sweeping chronicle of guarana—a glossy-leaved Amazonian vine packed with more caffeine than any other plant—Seth Garfield develops a wide-ranging approach to the history of Brazil itself. The story begins with guarana as the pre-Columbian cultivar of the Satere-Mawe people in the Lower Amazon region, where it figured centrally in the Indigenous nation's origin stories, dietary regimes, and communal ceremonies. During subsequent centuries of Portuguese colonialism and Brazilian rule, guarana was reformulated by settlers, scientists, folklorists, food technologists, and marketers. Whether in search of pleasure, profits, professional distinction, or patriotic markers, promoters impa...
