"A união de noventa autores para a elaboração de uma coleção é um fato que a engrandece sobremaneira. Mas reunir noventa autores para escrever uma coleção sobre o tema das pessoas com deficiência e os inúmeros desafios para que tenhamos uma sociedade efetivamente inclusiva, é notável! Trata-se de obra de construção coletiva que vem regada pelos eflúvios de amorosidade dos autores em prol da causa das pessoas com deficiência, aliada ao forte propósito de todos no sentido de indicar e encontrar caminhos e instrumentos para cumprir o nosso dever primordial de amor ao próximo. Ser "diferente" desafia o afeto e a empatia que desenvolvemos facilmente diante do que reconhecemos no...

In this powerful new work, Simone Toji reconsiders ethnography as a form of appreciation of the contradictions inherent in the making of life itself. Recovering Bronislaw Malinowski’s idea of the “imponderabilia of actual life” as an inspiring ethnographic attitude, she shows how lives are composed through moments of indecision, opacity, and incongruity that make them irreducibly open ended. The singular lives of four migrants, from Paraguay, South Korea, and Bolivia, are rendered as journeys across the city of São Paulo, interspersed with resonant explorations of the power of life’s invention and reinvention as part of the human condition. This important new book is a major contribution to migration studies, social and cultural anthropology, and the social sciences as a whole, and will appeal to readers from the undergraduate level through the doctoral.
