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.

"Set in Chandler, Arizona, during the city's infamous 1997 migrant sweeps, Ocotillo Dreams delivers a wallop that resonates in today's volatile immigration debate. But this is no run-of-the-mill border-debate tale. In this captivating first novel, author Melinda Palacio skillfully weaves a story of politics, intrigue, love, and trust. Isola, a young woman who inherits her mother's Chandler home, relocates from California only to find that her mother had lived a secret life of helping undocumented immigrants and that one such immigrant apparently was involved with her. Isola must confront her own confusion and sense of loyalty in a strange and overtly hostile environment. As she gets to know her mother from clues left behind, she grapples with issues of identity and belonging that eventually lead her to explore her life's meaning and to reconnect with her roots."--Jacket.
Through this translation of As Três Marias the literary achievements of Rachel de Queiroz may at last be judged and appreciated by the English-reading public. Since none of her four novels has previously been translated into English, The Three Marias will be, for many non-Brazilians, an introduction to this nationally known South American author whose books have been widely praised for their artistic merits. Her literary works are colored by her projected personality, by an intense feeling for her own people, by an omnipresent social consciousness, and by personal experiences in the arid backlands of her native state of Ceará. Basing this story on certain of her own recollections from the nineteen-twenties, Rachel de Queiroz tells of a girl growing up in the seaport town of Fortaleza, in northeastern Brazil. Fred P. Ellison, whose special field is Brazilian and Spanish-American literature, has captured in his translation the author's graceful style and simplicity of language, and has successfully retained the perspective of an idealistic and gradually maturing girl.
A magisterial introduction to the relationship between liberalism and democracy, from its beginnings in classical Greek thought to our own times.
Pamela Gillilan was born in London in 1918, married in 1948 and moved to Cornwall in 1951. When she sat down to write her poem Come Away after the death of her husband David, she had written no poems for a quarter of a century. Then came a sequence of incredibly moving elegies. Other poems followed, and two years after starting to write again, she won the Cheltenham Festival poetry competition. Her first collection That Winter (Bloodaxe, 1986) was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Poetry Prize.
