Flor de Janaína
Quantos mistérios cabem no olhar de uma flor peregrina? A presente narrativa conta o varal de cordéis da vida de uma flor desenraizada, cujas pétalas vagam montadas na natureza libertária e lasciva do vento, como libertário e lascivo é seu gingado de ondas ora plácidas, ora revoltas. Flor de Janaína, a personagem que não nasce protagonista, mas reivindica seu protagonismo na praça pública da vida, promete combater os dogmas que a agrilhoam, munindo-se de seus próprios e muitos dogmas. Dogmas translúcidos e impossíveis de serem moldados, versáteis como a água que é o arquétipo de sua natureza maternal. Quantos filhos cabem no ventre nunca antes fecundado de uma sereia? Tão casta quando libertina, Flor de Janaína é uma colecionadora de prantos, águas de salobra paixão a escorrer dos olhos daqueles que caem nas bênçãos e maldições de seu canto de sereia. Cigana das águas doces ou salgadas, plácidas ou revoltas, Flor de Janaína é uma sereia que peregrina pelas nuances de seus próprios e muitos caráteres.

Camaradas - Janaína e Jeferson Rueda
Roberto Pinto traça, neste livro, um panorama da gastronomia brasileira nos últimos 40 anos. A pretexto de uma narrativa biográfica sobre mim e também dos chefs Mara Salles e Alex Atala, vai percorrendo as mudanças pelas quais passaram a cozinha brasileira desde a vinda dos franceses Claude Troisgros e Laurent Suaudeau para o Brasil, nos anos 1980. Ele conta de como o ofício de cozinheiro transformou-se ao longo dessas décadas e como os vários produtos regionais passaram a ser valorizados e a fazer parte da mesa dos badalados restaurantes de cozinha brasileira. Culto e determinado, o jornalista investiga a história entrevistando chefs e produtores artesanais. Também aponta as dificuldades de normatização dos bons produtos artesanais, o que os impede de estar legalmente presentes em muitas mesas de restaurantes e lares brasileiros. É uma leitura instigante e inspiradora, que nos remete a uma boa reflexão a respeito da nossa gastronomia.
This Earth, That Sky
This is a generous, long-overdue presentation of the major Brazilian poet Manuel Bandeira (1886–1968) to the English-speaking reader. Well over a hundred poems appear here in both Portuguese and English, together with a critical overview that introduces the poet and Brazilian poetry to the nonspecialist and contributes significantly to the existing body of Bandeira scholarship. Bandeira’s poetry not only stands among the most important in twentieth-century Brazil but also embodies the experience of transition from one literary movement to another. The poems span a half century of writing, from the publication of Bandeira’s first book in 1917 to the definitive edition of his collected w...
Making Meaning
Making Meaning is a synthesis of theory, research, and practice that explicitly presents art as a meaning making process. This book provokes readers to examine their current understandings of language, literacy and learning through the lens of the various arts-based perspectives offered in this volume; provides a starting point for constructing broader, multimodal views of what it might mean to “make meaning”; and underscores why understanding arts-based learning as a meaning-making process is especially critical to early childhood education in the face of narrowly-focused, test-driven curricular reforms. Each contributor integrates this theory and research with stories of how passionate teachers, teacher-educators, and pre-service teachers, along with administrators, artists, and professionals from a variety of fields have transcended disciplinary boundaries to engage the arts as a meaning-making process for young children and for themselves.

Violence in the City of Women
Brazil's innovative all-female police stations, installed as part of the return to civilian rule in the 1980s, mark the country's first effort to police domestic violence against women. Sarah J. Hautzinger's vividly detailed, accessibly written study explores this phenomenon as a window onto the shifting relationship between violence and gendered power struggles in the city of Salvador da Bahia. Hautzinger brings together distinct voices—unexpectedly macho policewomen, the battered women they are charged with defending, indomitable Bahian women who disdain female victims, and men who grapple with changing pressures related to masculinity and honor. What emerges is a view of Brazil's policing experiment as a pioneering, and potentially radical, response to demands of the women's movement to build feminism into the state in a society fundamentally shaped by gender.
Land of Black Clay
Land of Black Clay takes place largely in the rural township of Sap(r), a town in the northeast Brazilian state of Para ba, many hundreds of miles north-northeast of Rio de Janeiro. The main character, Jorge Elias, is a newspaper reporter from Rio de Janeiro who is assigned to cover a news story in Sap(r). A judge, Odilon Fernandes, has reopened the case of a farmworker union organizer whose murder local landowners ordered. The initial investigation into the murder was perfunctory, but now, the possibility of justice is given a second chance. Land of Black Clay is a political-adventure novel reminiscent of the material from which such Costa-Gavras movies as Z and Missing were made. Though this is a work of fiction, such union leaders as Jouo Pedro Teixeira and Margarida Maria Alves actually lived. The land barons and their friends are fictional, as are the events themselves. Boson Books also offers a translation of Childhood of the Dead by Jose Louzeiro. For an author bio and photo, reviews and a reading sample, visit bosonbooks.com."
