Jornalismo como Missão: Militância e Imprensa nos Subúrbios Cariocas, 1900-1920
Um grupo de jornalistas, atuando em diversos jornais suburbanos e em colunas sobre os subúrbios da grande imprensa, escrevia para os suburbanos e os leitores em geral sobre os subúrbios e pelos subúrbios. Tais homens de letras, que lidavam com a palavra nas folhas dos jornais, nas batalhas travadas na cidade, ajudavam a constituir os subúrbios em locais mais bem conhecidos pelos citadinos. Os subúrbios que surgem dos periódicos são pulsantes na forma de associações diversas e, ao mesmo tempo, repletos de reivindicações por direitos, que passam, dentre outras coisas, pela expansão dos serviços públicos como iluminação, calçamento e abastecimento de água. A militância dos jornalistas em prol dos subúrbios diz muito acerca da luta por direitos de quem vive na cidade. Este livro conta uma outra história da imprensa carioca, dos espaços da cidade e de quem os habita. É um convite para conhecer, sob outro prisma, a cidade do Rio de Janeiro das primeiras décadas do século XX. (fragmento do texto da orelha por Marcelo de Souza Magalhães, Historiador UNIRIO)
