Throughout Brazil, Afro-Brazilians face widespread racial prejudice. Many turn to religion, with Afro-Brazilians disproportionately represented among Protestants, the fastest-growing religious group in the country. Officially, Brazilian Protestants do not involve themselves in racial politics. Behind the scenes, however, the community is deeply involved in the formation of different kinds of blackness—and its engagement in racial politics is rooted in the major new cultural movement of black music. In this highly original account, anthropologist John Burdick explores the complex ideas about race, racism, and racial identity that have grown up among Afro-Brazilians in the black music scene....

Tango Lessons

From its earliest manifestations on the street corners of nineteenth-century Buenos Aires to its ascendancy as a global cultural form, tango has continually exceeded the confines of the dance floor or the music hall. In Tango Lessons, scholars from Latin America and the United States explore tango's enduring vitality. The interdisciplinary group of contributors—including specialists in dance, music, anthropology, linguistics, literature, film, and fine art—take up a broad range of topics. Among these are the productive tensions between tradition and experimentation in tango nuevo, representations of tango in film and contemporary art, and the role of tango in the imagination of Jorge Luis Borges. Taken together, the essays show that tango provides a kaleidoscopic perspective on Argentina's social, cultural, and intellectual history from the late nineteenth to the early twenty-first centuries.

One Hundred Years of Solitude

Netflix’s series adaptation of One Hundred Years of Solitude premieres December 11, 2024! One of the twentieth century’s enduring works, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel known throughout the world and the ultimate achievement in a Nobel Prize–winning career. The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. Rich and brilliant, it is a chronicle of life, death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the beautiful, ridiculous, and tawdry story of the Buendía family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America. Love and lust, war and revolution, riches and poverty, youth and senility, the variety of life, the endlessness of death, the search for peace and truth—these universal themes dominate the novel. Alternately reverential and comical, One Hundred Years of Solitude weaves the political, personal, and spiritual to bring a new consciousness to storytelling. Translated into dozens of languages, this stunning work is no less than an account of the history of the human race.

Livro mais amado por toda uma geração, o Almanaque anos 80 está de volta com novas fotos e mais páginas, numa edição especial comemorativa dos 20 anos do lançamento. O best-seller, que vendeu mais de 150 mil exemplares, agora tem capa dura e é totalmente colorido. E ainda ganhou prefácio assinado por um convidado que viveu intensamente a década: o cantor, ator e jornalista Leo Jaime. Dividido em oito capítulos, o Almanaque anos 80 é um mergulho na memória afetiva de quem não perdia um único episódio de Armação Ilimitada e que chorou na Copa de 82 com a derrota da seleção brasileira de Zico, Sócrates, Falcão e Cerezo. É um livro obrigatório para lembrar quem tocou em cada noite do primeiro Rock in Rio e os nomes dos seis suspeitos do jogo Detetive. Ou ainda para saber o ranking dos maiores vencedores do "Qual é a música?", o número exato de chicletinhos que vinham naquele saquinho rosa dos Minichicletes Adams e quantos bichos nojentos foram usados na trilogia Indiana Jones.
