Dancing with Thieves
Cally Magalhães' memoir is a gripping page-turner of an autobiography. With a novelist's eye for descriptive detail, Cally invites us to accompany her on her astonishing journey from England to India and Estonia, and finally to São Paulo, Brazil. We join her as she follows a trail of signs and blessings to bring relief, hope and healing to people who need help, wherever they may be -- in the streets, the favelas, the prisons or hidden under bridges. She describes in moving detail the transformational work of The Eagle Project, using psychodrama and Restorative Justice in Brazilian prisons. To read this book is to be inspired by the positive change one person can bring to so many individual lives - changing the world one person at a time. Cally has much to teach us about being fully present for all of life's events and challenges. With hard-won wisdom and deep reflection, she describes a life based on faith and gratitude, encapsulated in her ringing sentence, 'When you help people who have nothing, then you realise you have everything.' Her memoir has lessons for us all about what it means to walk the Earth with grace and love.
Staging the Personal
This book examines the history, ethics, and intentions of staging personal stories and offers theatre makers detailed guidance and a practical model to support safe, ethical practice. Contemporary theatre has crossed boldly into therapeutic terrain and is now the site of radical self-exposure. Performances that would once have seemed shockingly personal and exposing have become commonplace, as people reveal their personal stories to audiences with ever-increasing candor. This has prompted the need for a robust and pragmatic framework for safe, ethical practice in mainstream and applied theatre. In order to promote a wider range of ethical risk-taking where practitioners negotiate blurred bou...
Researching Development NGOs
This book offers a critical insight into how the study of NGOs can be more theoretically grounded and methodologically creative. The role of NGOs in global development has been the focus of considerable research and scholarship for the last four decades. More recently, scholars and NGO practitioners have begun to explore their relationships and how research can better inform practice and vice versa. This book addresses questions arising from such research, including: how different theoretical perspectives can be applied to the study of NGOs; what kinds of data can be used when trying to better understand NGOs; and what methods can be used in studying NGOs. Rather than evaluating the impact o...
The Amazon Bubble

No outro lado da rua e em todo o mundo - eBook
"Este livro é diferente. Tem uma cativante e convidativa praticidade para qualquer seguidor de Cristo, a fim de que tenha uma participação frutífera no alcance das nações. Cada capítulo enumera algumas ideias, dicas, ou passos a seguir. Mas quase todas as ideias são descritas em histórias. As histórias são baseadas no dia a dia, pessoas comuns com suas lutas e fraquezas. Então, não é difícil imaginar como você — ou alguém que você conheça — possa entrar com alegria na história do propósito de Deus. Faz tempo que precisamos deste livro. Ele será amplamente usado." - — Steve Hawthorne, coeditor de Perspectivas no Movimento Cristão Mundial.
O grito do sertão nordestino - eBook
A responsabilidade da igreja brasileira não é apenas enviar e sustentar missionários em outros continentes. Não somos responsáveis somente pelos "confins da terra", mas também por Jerusalém, Judeia e Samaria. Por muito tempo temos nos esquecido de alguns desafios urgentes ao nosso redor, ou até mesmo fechado nossos olhos. Jesus disse que as pedras irão pregar o Evangelho se nos mantivermos calados. Hoje podemos ver que Deus não está enviando pedras, mas levantando o Povo Brasileiro de Deus para cumprir a Grande Comissão. A JUVEP, há mais de 30 anos está mobilizando pessoas para alcançar os sertanejos com o Evangelho. Tem sido uma bênção, tanto para o sertão, quanto para a Igreja Brasileira, pois não cansou de divulgar as necessidades dessa região tão sofrida. Cremos que nesta década o Senhor da Seara vai mobilizar muita gente para transformar o deserto em um jardim. Vamos participar, vamos nos mobilizar, vamos nos tornar portadores das chuvas de bênçãos para os Sertanejos.
The Politics of Capitalist Transformation
The Politics of Capitalist Transformation is the only book-length study of the highly protectionist Brazilian informatics policy from its origins in the early 1970s to the collapse of the market reserve in the early 1990s and its impact in subsequent decades. Jeff Seward provides a sophisticated political analysis of how state activists constructed high levels of state autonomy to try to shift Brazil to a new variety of capitalism by eclipsing the multinational companies (especially IBM) that dominated the Brazilian computer sector and replacing them with local companies with 100 percent Brazilian technology and ownership. This ambitious policy required repeated shifts of political strategy ...
Welcoming the Undesirables
Jeffrey Lesser's invaluable book tells the poignant and puzzling story of how earlier this century, in spite of the power of anti-Semitic politicians and intellectuals, Jews made their exodus to Brazil, "the land of the future." What motivated the Brazilian government, he asks, to create a secret ban on Jewish entry in 1937 just as Jews desperately sought refuge from Nazism? And why, just one year later, did more Jews enter Brazil legally than ever before? The answers lie in the Brazilian elite's radically contradictory images of Jews and the profound effect of these images on Brazilian national identity and immigration policy. Lesser's work reveals the convoluted workings of Brazil's wartim...
Genre in a Changing World
Genre studies and genre approaches to literacy instruction continue to develop in many regions and from a widening variety of approaches. Genre has provided a key to understanding the varying literacy cultures of regions, disciplines, professions, and educational settings. GENRE IN A CHANGING WORLD provides a wide-ranging sampler of the remarkable variety of current work. The twenty-four chapters in this volume, reflecting the work of scholars in Europe, Australasia, and North and South America, were selected from the over 400 presentations at SIGET IV (the Fourth International Symposium on Genre Studies) held on the campus of UNISUL in Tubarão, Santa Catarina, Brazil in August 2007—the l...
