A presente obra objetiva denunciar a opressão e a exploração de mulheres como um problema advindo da desigualdade estrutural produzida por um sistema de exploração do trabalho que é essencialmente racista e sexista. Aos termos, da materialidade dialética, serão apresentadas diferentes problemáticas dos estudos de gênero contemporâneos no Brasil, com ênfase nas consequências da realidade do capitalismo Neoliberal, bem como no conservadorismo social que se instrumentaliza como legitimidade histórica de violência de gênero e finalmente nas limitações e contribuições da proteção jurídica de mulheres. Sob um olhar decolonial, a crítica se coloca no alarde da falsa neutralidade ciêntífica baseada em um suposto sujeito do conhecimento universal, mas, que na verdade é masculino, branco e detentor de privilégios econômicos. Pretende-se uma obra sensível, fruto da orientação acadêmica feminista de mulheres potentes que acreditam na utopia de um amanhã permeado por maior liberdade e igualdade.

"Reality does not comply with our narrations of it. And that is most certainly the case with the narrations produced in academia. An anthropologist in Bahia, Brazil, fears to become possessed by the spirits he had come to study; falls madly in love withan 'informant'; finds himself baffled by the sayings of a clairvoyant; and has to come to grips with the murder of one of his best friends. Unsettling events that do not belong to the orderly world of scientific research, yet leave their imprint on the way the anthropologist comes to understand the world. REflecting on his long research experience with the spirit possession cult Candomblâe, the author shows, in a probing manner, how definitions of reality always require the exclusion of certain perceptions, experiences and insights. And yet, this 'rest-of-what-is' turns out to be an inexhaustible source of amazement, seduction and renewal." --P [4] of cover.
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.
