Dida
“Dida foi um desses craques fora de série. Um artilheiro maravilhoso. Um dos poucos jogadores a chegar perto da perfeição. Seu futebol era eficiente pelo alto ou pelo chão, tinha impulsão, velocidade, e chute preciso com os dois pés. A habilidade, o domínio de bola, o drible fácil e o senso de oportunismo fizeram Dida brilhar no Flamengo e aqui em Alagoas. Seu gênio simples e temperamento tranquilo fez com que Dida sempre vivesse no anonimato. Nada de homenagens, nada de reportagens. Mesmo assim, deixou uma legião de fãs, que nunca esquecem seus gols sensacionais e suas jogadas maravilhosas. Assim foi Dida, um campeão alagoano, um tricampeão carioca e um campeão do mundo”. (Lauthenay Perdigão)
Concrete Inferno
After a coup in 1964 that ousted Brazil’s leftist President João Goulart from power, a brutal military dictatorship took the reins of the state. As a result, elements of the persecuted Brazilian Communist Party split from a more peaceful, orthodox line and declared their intent to wage an insurgent war against the government, plunging the country into a conflagration of violence marked by cycles of urban bombings, political assassinations, institutional torture, kidnappings, and summary executions. Concrete Inferno relays this period in Brazil in a lucid narrative history, exploring what drove the military coup of 1964, the subsequent rise of the Armed Left, and the successes and failures of the insurgency and how it concluded. Stretching from the rumblings of discontent during João Goulart’s ascendancy in 1961 to the strange conclusion of the dictatorship in 1985, the book draws on new primary sources and a wealth of English- and Portuguese-language resources to provide a complete and evenhanded portrait of the conflict.
The Politics of Military Rule in Brazil, 1964-1985
The largest and most important country in Latin America, Brazil was the first to succumb to the military coups that struck that region in the 1960s and the early 1970s. In this authoritative study, Thomas E. Skidmore, one of America's leading experts on Latin America and, in particular, on Brazil, offers the first analysis of more than two decades of military rule, from the overthrow of João Goulart in 1964, to the return of democratic civilian government in 1985 with the presidency of José Sarney. A sequel to Skidmore's highly acclaimed Politics in Brazil, 1930-1964, this volume explores the military rule in depth. Why did the military depose Goulart? What kind of "economic miracle" did t...
