Indefensável
Livro destinado a muita polêmica e grande imprensa, esta reportagem, escrita como thriller policial, disseca a macabra trama – planejada e calculada com rara frieza pelo então maior goleiro do Brasil, Bruno, do Flamengo – que resultaria na morte da jovem Eliza Samudio, em junho de 2010. Nada escapa: num ritmo frenético, verdadeiramente cinematográfico, está tudo lá, desde a concepção da armadilha que capturaria a modelo, a execução do sequestro e o desaparecimento da jovem até o teatro dos julgamentos e a condenação dos responsáveis. A ação é entremeada de capítulos, de fina percepção psicológica, que mergulham nos perfis dos principais envolvidos, sobretudo Eliza, Bruno e Macarrão (braço direito do goleiro), mostrando-os desde a infância até, no caso do jogador, o sucesso e as conquistas profissionais. As passagens que recriam o ambiente de bastidor do Flamengo – a relação entre os craques, Adriano entre eles, e a vida de farra sem limites que levavam – são extraordinárias.

The volume contributes to disrupt the old grand narrative of cultural contact and colonialism in Spanish and Portuguese America in a wide and complete sense. This edited volume aims at exploring contact archaeology in the modern era. Archaeology has been exploring the interaction of peoples and cultures from early times, but only in the last few decades have cultural contact and material world been recognized as crucial elements to understanding colonialism and the emergence of modernity. Modern colonialism studies pose questions in need of broader answers. This volume explores these answers in Spanish and Portuguese America, comprising present-day Latin America and formerly Spanish territor...
The Autonomy Myth
