Folk Art
Listen to the artists of the Brazilian Northeast. Their work, they say, comes of continuity and creativity. Continuity runs along lines of learning toward social coherence. Creativity brings challenges and deep personal satisfaction. What they say and do in Brazil aligns with ethnographic evidence from New Mexico and North Carolina; from Ireland, Portugal, and Italy; from Nigeria, Turkey, India, and Bangladesh; from China and Japan. This book is about that, about folk art as a sign of human unity.
Numbers
An aging male hustler wages an obsessive battle against the passing of his youth in this darkly compelling follow-up to the cult hit City of Night. Johnny Rio, a handsome narcissist no longer a pretty boy, travels to Los Angeles, the site of past sexual conquest and remembered youthful radiance, in a frenzied attempt to recreate his younger self. Like a retired boxer—an undefeated champion—who refuses to accept the possible ravages of time, Johnny is led by some unfathomable force to return to combat once again. Combat, for him, takes place in the dark balconies and dismal bathrooms of LA’s all-night movie theaters and on the hot sands of the city’s gay beaches. But these are only wa...
African Heritage and Memories of Slavery in Brazil and the South Atlantic World
This book explores the history of African tangible and intangible heritages and its links with the public memory of slavery in Brazil and Angola.

Yet it was only in the last twenty years that Brazil's African heritage and its slave past have gained greater visibility. Prior...

Reforma Trabalhista
Esta obra reúne artigos de Auditores-Fiscais do Trabalho sobre a Lei n. 13.467/2017 que instituiu a denominada “reforma trabalhista” que alterou mais de 100 artigos da Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho — CLT. Transcorrido um ano de vigência do texto, as constatações da Fiscalização do Trabalho contribuem para uma reflexão sobre os prejuízos que a “reforma” trouxe para os trabalhadores. As mudanças impostas modificaram as relações de trabalho. Foram criadas novas formas de contrato que deixam os trabalhadores inseguros e vulneráveis – como é o caso do contrato de trabalho intermitente, e foi alterado o contrato de trabalho em regime parcial. As incertezas jurídicas...
