Tomorrow Is Too Late
In Tomorrow Is Too Late, Grace Maddrell collects testimonies of activism and hope from young climate strikers, from Brazil and Burundi to Pakistan and Palestine. These youth activists are experiencing the reality of the climate crisis, including typhoons, drought, flood, fire, crop failure, and ecological degradation, and are all engaged in the struggle to bring these issues to the centre of the world stage. Their strength and determination show the urgency of their cause, and their understanding that the generations above them have failed to safeguard their environment. With contributors aged between eight and twenty-five, this is an inspiring collection of essays from the most vital generation of voices in the global struggle for climate justice, and offers a manifesto for how you can engage, educate, and inspire change for a more hopeful future.
Life and Death in the Silver
"Life and Death in the Silver" is centered on the saga of generations of a family involved in historical episodes taking place in the south of Brazil. Biographical excerpts of four military characters—“The Colonel,” “The Captain,” “The Marshal,” and “The Major”—become aligned with the unfolding of historical events described by people in the military and civilians, revolutionaries or legalists, who were actually present at the time. Episodes in Brazilian history are addressed in the book, such as the “Legality Campaign.” the “Ragamuffin (Farroupilha) Revolution,” the “Paraguay War,” the “Proclamation of the Republic,” the “Federalist Revolution,” the “Contested Territory Campaign,” and so on. Many facts mentioned are based on primary sources, such as the living memory of relatives of those who once lived and those who now live in the Silver River basin. It is ultimately a book about rescuing historical events told by generations of a family struggling for order and freedom.
Os Meninos Nunca Morrem
"E a estrada cheia de sonhos espalhados na berma, pedacos de ti, pedacos de vida desunidos, uma perna caindo do lencol, um bracinho branco escorregando dos dedos sem vida.... Pedacos de terra caiada de sangue a escorrerem da boca e da bola.... E a bola, cheia de lagrimas amarelas da cor da terra castanha, deixando cair uma perna e um bracinho sem vida.... E eu, ao lado do lencol sem branco, agarrando o teu bracinho pendente sem vida, sem dedos, passo-te a mao na cabeca adormecida e sussurro-te ao ouvido: Os putos nunca caem, os meninos nunca morrem... "

The Politics of Survival

Even when Black women voters are celebrated, the voices of the poorest too often go unheard. How do Afro-descendant women in former slave-holding societies survive amid multifaceted oppression? Gladys L. Mitchell-Walthour offers a comparative analysis of how Black women social welfare beneficiaries in Brazil and ...
