The Diaspora of Brazilian Religions
The Diaspora of Brazilian Religions explores the global spread of religions originating in Brazil, a country that has emerged as a major pole of religious innovation and production. Through ethnographically-rich case studies throughout the world, ranging from the Americas (Canada, the U.S., Peru, and Argentina) and Europe (the U.K., Portugal, and the Netherlands) to Asia (Japan) and Oceania (Australia), the book examines the conditions, actors, and media that have made possible the worldwide construction, circulation, and consumption of Brazilian religious identities, practices, and lifestyles, including those connected with indigenized forms of Pentecostalism and Catholicism, African-based ...
Brazillionaires
Longlisted for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award Wealth and power on the trail of the super-rich In 2012, Brazilian tycoon Eike Batista was the eighth richest man in the world, his $30bn fortune built on Brazil's incredible natural resources. By the middle of 2013 he had lost it all, engulfed in scandal. Brazillionaires is a fast-paced account of Batista's rise and fall: a story of helicopter flights, beach-front penthouses and high-speed car crashes. Along the way, it tells the parallel story of Brazil itself, a country caught in the cycle of boom and bust, renewed hope and dashed promise; a country where the hyper-rich are at the heart of the economy - and where their wealth can buy immense political power. Stefan Zweig said in 1941 that Brazil was the country of the future; Brazilians joke that it always will be. Today, rampant corruption and endemic inequality threaten to derail the new Brazilian Dream. The brazillionaires are the key to understanding that dream; through them Brazillionaires tells the story of their country's past, present and future.
The Churches and Democracy in Brazil
Brazil is a rapidly emerging country. Brazilian theology, namely the Theology of Liberation, has become well known in the 1970s and 1980s. The politically active Base Ecclesial Communities and the progressive posture of the Roman Catholic Church contrasted with a steadily growing number of evangelicals, mostly aligned with the military regime but attractive precisely to the poor. After democratic transition in the mid-1980s, the context changed considerably. Democracy, growing religious pluralism and mobility, a vibrant civil society, the political ascension of the Worker's Party and growing wealth, albeit within a continuously wide social gap, are some of the elements that show the need of ...

Breaking News
Como idealizar e fundar duas emissoras de televisão complexas em um mercado tão desafiador como o do Brasil? Todos os detalhes dessa trajetória são contados aqui, em Breaking news. Neste livro, o jornalista Douglas Tavolaro revela como a CNN Brasil só é assistida por tantas pessoas porque ele ousou correr atrás do sonho de montar o próprio negócio. Foi a partir de uma apresentação de PowerPoint que o jornalista deu início ao projeto da fundação da emissora. Entre desafios, desencontros, adversidades e objeções, a CNN finalmente teve uma versão apoiada em solo brasileiro com sucesso imediato – tudo isso em meio à pandemia de covid-19. Breaking news também traz as riquezas e as emoções de Douglas no acordo inédito que fez com a CNBC, o maior canal de jornalismo de negócios do planeta, para a primeira parceria da emissora em território brasileiro – feito que consagrou a carreira do jornalista. Com ousadia e análise crítica de mercado, Tavolaro soube identificar oportunidades onde outros viam desafios, criando emissoras inovadoras adaptadas às necessidades de um público cada vez mais exigente e conectado.
Reconciliation, Nations and Churches in Latin America
This book examines the recent phenomenon in Latin America of national Truth and Reconciliation commissions. Few studies have examined the role of Churches or religion in political processes that proclaim valued theological terms as their agenda - truth, forgiveness, and reconciliation. This book questions the role of religion, specifically of established Churches. The impact of such reconciliation commissions on Indigenous Native Americans is also examined, as is the role of women and how both commissions and Churches or religions were challenged by their experiences. The contributors offer differing perspectives on one or more national truth and reconciliation processes and thus offer a collection that serves as valuable source for the disciplines of Religious Studies, Ethics, Theology, Political Science, Social Sciences and Women's Studies.
Strategien Zur Durchsetzung der Völkerrechtlichen Verpflichtung Zur Strafverfolgung der Folter Am Beispiel Brasiliens
Hauptbeschreibung In seinem im Jahre 2001 veröffentlichten Landesbericht stellt der UN-Sonderberichterstatter für Folter, Sir Nigel Rodley, in aller Deutlichkeit fest, dass in Brasilien ""Folter und ähnliche Misshandlungen auf ausgedehnte und systematische Weise in den meisten Teilen des Landes verübt werden"". Diesem Befund zufolge ist Brasilien die gravierende Verletzung einer der grundlegendsten Verbürgungen des internationalen Menschenrechtsschutzes vorzuwerfen. Vorliegende Arbeit vollzieht nach, warum dieser Vorwurf gerechtfertigt ist, und fragt danach, welche Rechtsfolgen er f.
