The Human Tradition in Modern Brazil
The Human Tradition in Modern Brazil makes the last two centuries of Brazilian history come alive through the stories of mostly non-elite individuals. The pieces in this lively collection address how people experienced historical continuities and changes by exploring how they related to the rise of Brazilian national identity and the emergence of a national state. By including a broad array of historical actors from different regions, ethnicities, occupations, races, genders, and eras, The Human Tradition in Modern Brazil brings a human dimension to major economic, political, cultural, and social transitions. Because these perspectives do not always fit with the generalizations made about the predominant attitudes, values, and beliefs of different groups, they bring a welcome complexity to the understanding of Brazilian society and history.
Making Samba
In November 1916, a young Afro-Brazilian musician named Donga registered sheet music for the song "Pelo telefone" ("On the Telephone") at the National Library in Rio de Janeiro. This apparently simple act—claiming ownership of a musical composition—set in motion a series of events that would shake Brazil's cultural landscape. Before the debut of "Pelo telephone," samba was a somewhat obscure term, but by the late 1920s, the wildly popular song had helped to make it synonymous with Brazilian national music. The success of "Pelo telephone" embroiled Donga in controversy. A group of musicians claimed that he had stolen their work, and a prominent journalist accused him of selling out his people in pursuit of profit and fame. Within this single episode are many of the concerns that animate Making Samba, including intellectual property claims, the Brazilian state, popular music, race, gender, national identity, and the history of Afro-Brazilians in Rio de Janeiro. By tracing the careers of Rio's pioneering black musicians from the late nineteenth century until the 1970s, Marc A. Hertzman revises the histories of samba and of Brazilian national culture.

Direito penal econômico
Este livro é fruto do trabalho de pesquisa e atuação prática de renomados juristas, pós-doutores, doutores e mestres que abordaram temas que servirão de base para estudos e julgados, tais como os delitos contra a ordem tributária, o delito de gestão temerária de instituição financeira e de lavagem de capitais, as criptomoedas, o delito de cartel, a teoria da cegueira deliberada, o alcance do ne bis in idem, os acordos de leniência e de não persecução penal, dentre outros. Com a crescente expansão do direito penal, notadamente no campo dos bens coletivos, é imprescindível que a doutrina traga luzes e discuta temas que integram o que costumo chamar de novo direito penal de incidência transindividual e multidisciplinar. Matérias das quais ainda há um certo neofitismo no Brasil, cabendo a todas e todos avançarmos em sua abordagem sempre sem a pretensão de findar a discussão. Enfim, o direito penal expansionista mostra um futuro a repetir o passado, que precisa ser estudado e questionado, como foi feito na presente obra. Caro leitor, com isso, desejo-lhe bons momentos e uma ótima pesquisa. In Apresentação
