Nada mais foi dito nem perguntado
Um professor, militante da educação, que tinha 24 anos em 1964. Quarenta anos depois, à beira da aposentadoria e prestes a mudar de cidade, ele se vê às voltas com a visita de um irmão, o convite para uma entrevista e a necessidade de organizar seus papéis na casa que já foi vendida. Com uma prosa ímpar, espécie de "invenção reflexiva" que combina devaneio e esforço de investigação, Beatriz Bracher criou uma narrativa arriscada, necessária e incomum no panorama da nossa ficção contemporânea.
Pena Privativa De Liberdade

Conflict Cinemas in Northern Ireland and Brazil
This book focuses on the analysis of sensorial representations of violent images in contemporary films that portray embodied violation in urban environments of street clashes and prisons in Northern Ireland and Brazil during the late twentieth century. There is an emphasis on the representation of senses and how they play a significant role in structuring narratives and mapping the cinematic landscapes of conflict. Whether on the streets and prisons of Belfast, Derry, São Paulo or Rio, the attention is on the endangered body and its fragility or strength. Analyzing films through the novel framework of sensorial perspective enables the understanding of urban and prison landscapes as part of a somatic geography that affects the corporeal engagement of the participants. As a multicultural study, this is an essential book for those interested in the relationship between cinema and history while taking into consideration the interactive roles of the senses and perception.
Homicide Justified
This comparative study looks at the laws concerning the murder of slaves by their masters and at how these laws were implemented. Andrew T. Fede cites a wide range of cases—across time, place, and circumstance—to illuminate legal, judicial, and other complexities surrounding this regrettably common occurrence. These laws had evolved to limit in different ways the masters’ rights to severely punish and even kill their slaves while protecting valuable enslaved people, understood as “property,” from wanton destruction by hirers, overseers, and poor whites who did not own slaves. To explore the conflicts of masters’ rights with state and colonial laws, Fede shows how slave homicide l...
Literary and Cultural Relations between Brazil and Mexico
Joining a timely conversation within the field of intra-American literature, this study takes a fresh look at Latin America by locating fragments and making evident the mostly untold story of horizontal (south-south) contacts across a multilingual, multicultural continent.
Lula
Lula is among the greatest political figures in Brazilian history. The only president in the country with a working-class background, combined with a party that was profoundly original in its roots, he exercised charismatic power and influence in a more lasting way than any other public figure in the republican period. Since 2011, Fernando Morais, one of Brazil's leading writers, has gained direct, frank and frequent access to Lula. To these dozens of hours of testimonies, he has added a reporter's flair and captivating prose to compose a biography that paints a picture in all its grandeur and complexity. In a narrative that makes use of flashforwards and flashbacks to maintain an electrifying pace, Morais goes from Lula's childhood to the annulment of his convictions, in 2021 - passing through the new unionism, the ABC strikes, the foundation of the PT and the first election campaign.
Pena de Morte
O livro apresenta a evolução e aplicação da Pena de Morte no Brasil e no mundo, apresentando crimes que marcaram a história da humanidade, bem como abordando ao mesmo tempo o que a previsão de referida pena no ordenamento jurídico, representaria para o Estado no campo processual, uma vez que os países que adotam a pena capital até os dias atuais, sejam para crimes de guerra ou crimes comuns, não podem economizar esforços e investimentos para evitar e/ou minimizar ao máximo o risco na condenação e posterior execução de inocentes. Foi analisada a aplicação da referida sanção, por meio do Direito Comparado, no decorrer da história, em nível tanto nacional quanto internacio...

The São Paulo Law School and the Anti-Vargas Resistance (1938-1945)
The São Paulo Law School, the oldest institution of higher learning in Brazil, has long been the chief training center for that country’s leadership. For the members of the school’s secret Burschenschaft society, the training consisted principally in leading demonstrations for liberal causes, such as the abolition of slavery and the overthrow of the monarchy. During the Old Republic (1889–1930), the Brazilian presidency and other high posts in Rio de Janeiro were usually occupied by alumni of the powerful society, while its members in São Paulo continued to agitate for political reform. But in the 1920s, when they formed the Nationalist League and the Democratic Party, schisms result...
