Modernity in Black and White
In his first single-authored English-language work, Rafael Cardoso offers a re-evaluation of modern art and modernism in Brazil.
História & Modernismo
Em História & Modernismo, Monica Velloso expõe o movimento modernista para além de seu contexto literário, apresentando as amplas relações entre literatura e música, artes plásticas e imprensa - seja no contexto das revistas, dos cronistas, seja no contexto do trabalho dos caricaturistas, defendido no Brasil pelo crítico de arte Gonzaga Duque e na França por Baudelaire. A autora analisa o contexto político do modernismo, que fez repensar conceitos de toda a sociedade, e ainda trata de aspectos menos conhecidos, como a tentativa de integração social, sobretudo a aproximação da cultura erudita com a cultura popular. Numa visão anticanônica do movimento, o examina não apenas a partir de São Paulo, mas também do Rio de Janeiro, de Minas Gerais e Pernambuco, contemplando também o contexto latino-americano.
Tentative Transgressions
Starting at the beginning of the twentieth century, Albuquerque examines the way the Modernist movement both fueled and inhibited the use of gay imagery in Brazilian drama. This elegant and fluid study ultimately becomes an examination of a whole Latin society, and the ways in which Latin theatre has absorbed and reflected the culture's own changing sensibilities, that will intrigue anyone interested in Latin American culture, literature, or theater.

History of Brazilian Journalism
This book constitutes a first-of-its-kind synthesis of the development of journalism in Brazil, considering both its mediations with national social and political life and its relationships of influence and dependence on international economic centers.

Devoting a chapter to each phase, Daros presents a critical map of the genesis and metamorphosis of journalistic practices in the country. The analysis goes beyond a mere study of national history to mark the points of connection between th...

The Country of Football
"In time for Brazil's hosting of the 2014 World Cup, this book uses the stories of star players and other key figures (based on over 40 interviews) to create a contemporary history of Brazilian soccer from the 1950s to the present. It also explores race and class tensions in Brazil and shows how soccer is central to the country's dramatic trajectory toward modernity and economic power"--
Music and Cosmopolitanism
In Music and Cosmopolitanism, Cristina Magaldi examines music making in a past globalized world. This volume focuses on one city, Rio de Janeiro, and how it became part of a larger world through music and performance. Magaldi describes a process of creating connections beyond national borders, one that is familiar to contemporary city residents, but which was already dominant at the turn of the 20th century, as new technological developments led to alternative ways of making and experiencing music.
A Poverty of Rights
A Poverty of Rights examines the history of poor people's citizenship in Rio from the 1920s through the 1960s, the 20th-century period that most critically shaped urban development, social inequality, and the meaning of law and rights in modern Brazil.
