Critical Perspectives on Afro-Latin American Literature
After generations of being rendered virtually invisible by the US academy in critical anthologies and literary histories, writing by Latin Americans of African ancestry has become represented by a booming corpus of intellectual and critical investigation. This volume aims to provide an introduction to the literary worlds and perceptions of national culture and identity of authors from Spanish-America, Brazil, and uniquely, Equatorial Guinea, thus contextually connecting Africa to the history of Spanish colonization. The importance of Latin America literature to the discipline of African Diaspora studies is immeasurable, and this edited collection provides a ripe cultural context for critical comparative analysis among the vast geographies that encompass African and African Diaspora studies. Scholars in the area of African Diaspora Studies, Black Studies, Latin American Studies, and American literature will be able to utilize the eleven essays in this edition to enhance classroom instruction and further academic research.

Doctor Socrates
'Compelling from start to finish...Downie does full justice to an extraordinary life' Pete Davies, author of All Played Out. A stunning new biography of Socrates, the iconic captain of the greatest Brazil side never to win the World Cup. Socrates was always special. A hugely talented athlete who graduated in medicine yet drank and smoked to excess. The attacking midfielder stood out - and not just because of his 6'4" frame. Fans were enthralled by his inch-perfect passes, his coolness in front of goal and his back heel, the trademark move that singled him out as the most unique footballer of his generation. Off the pitch, he was just as original, with a dedication to politics and social caus...
Histórias e Conversas de Mulher
A vida das mulheres no Brasil Colônia era bem diferente da nossa. Elas vivem exclusivamente sob a tutela do pai, depois passam a ser propriedade do marido, devendo comportar-se como santas. Viviam reclusas em casa, dedicando-se apenas à família. De lá pra cá, muita coisa mudou. As mulheres conquistaram o direito de votar, tomarem pílulas, queimarem sutiãs, tornaram-se chefes de família, enfrentaram a aids e ocuparam cargos de alto escalão em empresas multinacionais. Essas foram mudanças difíceis; mulheres foram mortas por querer trabalhar fora de casa ou por fumar ou assistir a programas de TV "feministas". Como diz a autora neste seu novo livro, "Vale a pena conhecer os caminhos que as mulheres trilharam, pois para que o século XXI seja delas, de todas elas, é preciso compreender os passos dados, corrigir rotas, sair de si próprio e pensar no coletivo.
South American Cinema
Originally issued in hardcover in 1996 by Garland Publishing, this important reference work is now available in paperback for a wider audience. A distinguished team of contributors has compiled entries on 140 significant South American feature films from the silent era until 1994. The entries discuss each film's subject matter, critical reception, and social and political contexts, as well as its production, distribution, and exhibition history, including technical credits. The entries are grouped by country and arranged chronologically. Both fiction and documentary films (some no longer in existence) are included, as well as extensive title, name, and subject indexes and glossaries of film and foreign terms.
Critical Marxism in Mexico
In Critical Marxism in Mexico, Stefan Gandler, coming from the tradition of the Frankfurt School, reveals the contributions that Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez and Bolívar Echeverría have made to universal thought. While in recent times Latin America has taken its distance from global power centers, and reorganised its political and economic relations, in philosophy the same tendency is barely visible. Critical Marxism in Mexico is a contribution to the reorganisation of international philosophical discussion, with Critical Theory as the point of departure. Despite having studied in Europe, where philosophical Eurocentrism remains virulent, Gandler opens his eyes to another tradition of modernity and offers an account of the life and philosophy of Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez and Bolívar Echeverría, former senior faculty members at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM).
Família é tudo igual, só muda de endereço
Não importa o tamanho da sua família. Se ela é pequena ou grande, você já deve ter parado para pensar em como as coisas funcionam dentro da sua casa. E, claro, ter se perguntado: Será que tudo isso só acontece comigo? Será que só a minha família não me entende? Será que eu nasci na família errada? Será que todas as famílias são como a minha?

Para tentar chegar a uma resposta, preciso que você se comprometa a caminhar nesta leitura ao lado de Jesus Cristo e a ler diariamente os textos deste livro – comigo e sozinho – até entender a mensagem de Deus.
