Dando um Banho de Carinho!
Este livro está baseado numa instigante pesquisa sobre os intercâmbios sexuais, afetivos e econômicos entre mulheres estrangeiras e homens locais, em Pipa, Rio Grande do Norte. É o primeiro estudo centrado nas personagens masculinas envolvidas nessas relações transnacionais no Brasil. Situando essas trocas no âmbito das conexões entre turismo, desigualdades, sexualidade e economia, o livro aporta novos subsídios na crescente literatura sobre essas conexões no país.
The Color of Sound
Throughout Brazil, Afro-Brazilians face widespread racial prejudice. Many turn to religion, with Afro-Brazilians disproportionately represented among Protestants, the fastest-growing religious group in the country. Officially, Brazilian Protestants do not involve themselves in racial politics. Behind the scenes, however, the community is deeply involved in the formation of different kinds of blackness—and its engagement in racial politics is rooted in the major new cultural movement of black music. In this highly original account, anthropologist John Burdick explores the complex ideas about race, racism, and racial identity that have grown up among Afro-Brazilians in the black music scene....
Mental Healthcare in Brazilian Spiritism: The Aesthetics of Healing
This volume addresses the diversification of mental healthcare provision and patients’ health-seeking behavior by putting Brazilian Spiritism and its translocal relations at the center of its inquiry. Comparative chapters document and critically assess the affective arrangements of Spiritist spaces in Brazil and Germany and how practices contribute to healing and the diversification of a globally circulating mental health agenda. The book addresses the human experience within Spiritist psychiatric clinics and affiliated Spiritist centers in Brazil, which in migratory contexts also have connections to Germany. Chapters interrogate the spaces where people inside and outside Brazil engage in ...
The Tropical Silk Road
This book captures an epochal juncture of two of the world's most transformative processes: the People's Republic of China's rapidly expanding sphere of influence across the global south and the disintegration of the Amazonian, Cerrado, and Andean biomes. The intersection of these two processes took another step in April 2020, when Chinese President Xi Jinping launched a "New Health Silk Road" agenda of aid and investment that would wind through South America, extending the Eurasian-African "Belt and Road Initiative" to a series of mine, port, energy, infrastructure, and agrobusiness megaprojects in the Latin American tropics. Through thirty short essays, this volume brings together an impre...
Corpo e relações de gênero na contemporaneidade
Dos textos que integram este volume, os temas são variados e analisados a partir de diferentes pontos de vista teóricos, metodológicos e de inserção profissional das autoras e dos autores. Essa pluralidade e diversidade vem ao encontro da filosofia que embasa as publicações desta série de livros que debatem as questões de gênero na contemporaneidade. Aqui, os feminismos se apresentam em toda sua riqueza e plenitude de possibilidades de interpretação das relações entre os vários gêneros que compõem a experiência humana. No entanto, toda essa diversidade tem em comum o desejo de desconstruir as desigualdades, as injustiças e as travas que restringem as liberdades civis, sociais e individuais. São ideias e práticas que buscam alcançar o bem, o bom e o melhor não só para alguns e algumas, mas para todas as pessoas. Marlene Neves Strey
Gringo Love
In the city of Natal in northeast Brazil, several local women negotiate the terms of their intimate relationships with foreign tourists, or gringos, in a situation often referred to as "sex tourism." These women each have different experiences, but they all share in the desire to "escape" their lives as young, poor, racialized women in Brazil. Based on original ethnographic research and presented in graphic form, Gringo Love explores the hopes, dreams, and experiences of these women against a backdrop of entrenched social inequality and increasing state surveillance leading up to the World Cup of 2014. It touches on important contemporary scholarly issues, including sexual economics, transnational mobility, transnational love and relationships, romantic imaginaries, gender representation, race and inequality, visual anthropology, and ethnographic methods. The graphic story is accompanied by analysis and contextual discussions, which encourage students to engage with the narrative and expand their understanding of the broader social issues therein.

Sex Tourism in Bahia
For nearly a decade, Brazil has surpassed Thailand as the world's premier sex tourism destination. As the first full-length ethnography of sex tourism in Brazil, this pioneering study treats sex tourism as a complex and multidimensional phenomenon that involves a range of activities and erotic connections, from sex work to romantic transnational relationships. Erica Lorraine Williams explores sex tourism in the Brazilian state of Bahia from the perspectives of foreign tourists, tourism industry workers, sex workers who engage in liaisons with foreigners, and Afro-Brazilian men and women who contend with foreigners' stereotypical assumptions about their licentiousness. She shows how the Bahian state strategically exploits the touristic desire for exotic culture by appropriating an eroticized blackness and commodifying the Afro-Brazilian culture in order to sell Bahia to foreign travelers.
