The Story of Rufino
A finalist for the Brazilian Book award and winner of the Casa de las America Prize for Brazilian Literature, The Story of Rufino: Slavery, Freedom, and Islam in the Black Atlantic was written by three experts in the history of slavery in Brazil and reconstructs the lively biography of Rufino Jose Maria, set against the historical context of Brazil and Africa in the nineteenth century.0This book narrates the life of a Yoruba Muslim named Rufino Jose Maria, born in the kingdom of Oyo, in present-day Nigeria. Enslaved as an adolescent by a rival ethnic group, he was acquired by Brazilian slave traffickers and taken across the Atlantic. He spent eight years as a slave in the city of Salvador, in the northeast of Brazil, where he arrived in 1823. Rufino was later sold to the southernmost province of Rio Grande do Sul, where he became the slave of the local chief of police.0Five years later, in 1835, he bought his freedom with money he saved as a hired-out slave in the streets of Salvador, in Bahia, and Porto Alegre, in Rio Grande do Sul. He may also have earned part of the money from making Islamic amulets, as he was a literate Muslim. 0.

When we were presented with the idea of Marielle's possible candidacy, I remember our eyes meeting immediately. Without saying a word, we knew what we, the "girls of education," as she called us, were feeling: Finally! A woman who exemplified in her body and mind all dimensions of social life that were marginalized and neglected in wider political debates and actions. She brought a concreteness to all the institutional political disputes about intersectionality, marks of its own identity, seen through the prism of Marielle's soul. Since the outset of her campaign, Marielle's candidacy has shown its dedication to enabling and engaging political participation for everyone – regardless of gender, sexuality, class or race. Her inclusive and diverse appeal is the foundation upon which her political and electoral mandate was built. This inclusive approach was especially directed towards black and/or poor women, associated with a questioning of the sexual division of labour, such as, for example, attention to the non-reproduction of gender roles in the distribution of campaign tasks.

Emergent Brazil
For decades, scholars and journalists have hailed the enormous potential of Brazil, which has been one of the world's largest economies for the last twenty years. But its promise has too often been curtailed by dictatorship, racism, poverty, and violence. Offering an interdisciplinary approach to the critical issues facing Brazil, the contributors to this volume analyze the democratization of the country's media, its nuclear capabilities, changing crime rates, the spread of Pentecostalism and indigenous religions, the development of popular culture, the growth of Brazilian agribusiness, and the implementation of sustainable economic development, especially in the Amazon. The only member of t...
Emancipatory Narratives & Enslaved Motherhood
#Slaveryarchive Book Prize 2024 finalist Emancipatory Narratives & Enslaved Motherhood examines three major currents in the historiography of Brazilian slavery: manumission, miscegenation, and creolisation. It revisits themes central to the history of slavery and race relations in Brazil, updates the research about them, and revises interpretations of the role of gender and reproduction within them. First, about the preponderance of women and children in manumission; second, about the association of black female mobility with intimate inter-racial relations; third, about the racialised and gendered routes to freed status; and fourth, about the legacies of West African female socio-economic b...
IV Congresso de Direito da Insolvência
O Direito da Insolvência está a mudar. No plano europeu, entrou em vigor o Regulamento (UE) 2015/848, com alterações em matéria de processos pré insolvenciais e insolvência de grupos de sociedades. Está em discussão uma Proposta de Directiva para a harmonização substantiva do Direito da Insolvência. Em Portugal, o DL n.o 79/2017, de 30 de Junho, alterou o CIRE e o CSC. Destaca-se, entre as novidades, o Processo Especial para Acordo de Pagamento (PEAP) e o regime simplificado de aumento de capital social por conversão de suprimentos. Espera-se para breve a criação de um novo instrumento de reestruturação extrajudicial (RERE) e de um regime jurídico de conversão de créditos em capital. É preciso acompanhar a mudança e, sobretudo, manter a orientação apesar dela. Por isso, no IV Congresso de Direito da Insolvência foram já discutidas todas estas alterações. O livro reflecte a mesma preocupação, tendo todos os autores aceitado repensar os seus temas à luz das alterações ocorridas entretanto. Surge, assim, como um registo actualizado dos resultados alcançados no Congresso e como uma porta aberta para quem não teve oportunidade de estar presente.

Prova por Presunção no Direito Civil - 4a Edição
A presunção é um instrumento pragmático, cuja utilidade abarca várias áreas do conhecimento, incluindo o direito. Seja nas vestes de presunção judicial (direito civil) seja sob a nomenclatura de prova indiciária (processo penal), a presunção assume um papel central e decisivo no discurso probatório e na formação da convicção do julgador. Nesta obra é feito um estudo abrangente da presunção, que vai desde os aspetos concetuais ao seu tratamento nas várias fases processuais e, sobretudo, atenta-se no modo como a presunção pode relevar na fixação da matéria de facto provada, relevando aqui uma tipologia de indícios bem como o estudo por temáticas de direito civil e mesmo de direito penal. Ao contrário da doutrina clássica que subalternizava a relevância e eficácia da presunção, esta pode sustentar por si o convencimento judicial (mesmo no processo penal), salvo nos limitados casos em que a lei impede a sua utilização.
Unsettling Brazil
"In this work, Desirée Poets posits that contemporary Brazil is a settler colony. Based on ethnographic research and her experiences growing up in Brazil, the book tells the stories of communities in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Belo Horizonte-two quilombos, two Indigenous movements, and a favela-to unravel the continuities and discontinuities of Brazil's settler colonial structure. As Poets argues, settler colonialism is renewed through expectations of Indigenous and quilombola authenticity as well as through militarization, incarceration, genocide, and marginalization that continuously attempt to dispossess and eliminate Black and Indigenous peoples from the political landscape, includ...
