O Volume III da presente coletânea reafirma a interdisciplinaridade enquanto resposta epistêmica, holística e transversal ao conhecimento jurídico meramente técnico e positivista. Os textos reunidos possuem em comum argumentos e visões científicas e políticas comprometidas com o tensionamento da Ciência Jurídica com base em perspectivas teórico-metodológicas outras.
O grande objetivo dessa cartilha é informar a população sobre os danos a saúde mental provocado pela violência de gênero. Buscamos, nessa obra, discorrer sobre o que é gênero, quais os tipos mais comuns de violência de gênero, como buscar auxilio psíquico e jurídico para o combate a essa forma de violência e promover uma reflexão sobre a normalização da violência de gênero no Brasil.
Essa cartilha objetiva realizar uma interface entre racismo, saúde mental e direitos humanos. Ela traz informações para pessoas que são diretamente ou indiretamente afetadas por adoecimento emocional provocados pelo racismo em todas as suas expressões. De forma direta, tratou-se de assuntos que estão no cotidiano de quem passa por essa forma de discriminação tão presente em nossa sociedade, de forma a buscar promover uma maior conscientização dos males que o racismo causa e de como o combate ao racismo é uma luta dos direitos humanos. Partiu-se de uma abordagem decolonial para as discussões apresentadas, com o uso predominante de autores negros. Não se pode falar em promoção de direitos humanos sem acesso a informação, sem que se possa saber que tipo de ajuda se pode obter e de forma encontrar essa ajuda, seja do ponto de vista psíquico e/ou jurídico. Essa cartilha faz parte do compromisso de se construir uma sociedade antiracista.
The Atlantic Forest is one of the 36 hotspots for biodiversity conservation worldwide. It is a unique, large biome (more than 3000 km in latitude; 2500 in longitude), marked by high biodiversity, high degree of endemic species and, at the same time, extremely threatened. Approximately 70% of the Brazilian population lives in the area of this biome, which makes the conflict between biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of the human population a relevant issue. This book aims to cover: 1) the historical characterization and geographic variation of the biome; 2) the distribution of the diversity of some relevant taxa; 3) the main threats to biodiversity, and 4) possible opportunities to ensure the biodiversity conservation, and the economic and social sustainability. Also, it is hoped that this book can be useful for those involved in the development of public policies aimed at the conservation of this important global biome.

This book traces the history and development of the port of Benguela, the third largest port of slave embarkation on the coast of Africa, from the early seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth century. Benguela, located on the central coast of present-day Angola, was founded by the Portuguese in the early seventeenth century. In discussing the impact of the transatlantic slave trade on African societies, Mariana P. Candido explores the formation of new elites, the collapse of old states and the emergence of new states. Placing Benguela in an Atlantic perspective, this study shows how events in the Caribbean and Brazil affected social and political changes on the African coast. This book emphasizes the importance of the South Atlantic as a space for the circulation of people, ideas and crops.
Brazilian Railway Culture examines the cultural relationship Brazil has had with its railways since tracks were first laid by British, American and French engineers in the nineteenth century. ‘Railway’ and ‘Brazil’ are words not often found in the same sentence. Yet each year over seven hundred million passengers are carried by train in the major urban centres, and tens of thousands of visitors enjoy heritage steam rides at over a dozen restored lines and museums. Brazilian Railway Culture starts from the premise that Brazilian society and culture is not just samba, football and sex. The book takes a journey through Brazilian cultural output from 1865 to the present day, examining no...
