After Prison
The incarceration rate in the United States is the highest of any developed nation, with a prison population of approximately 2.3 million in 2016. Over 700,000 prisoners are released each year, and most face significant educational, economic, and social disadvantages.

Mapping Histories
Edited by Professor Neera Chandhoke, 'Mapping Histories' is a fitting tribute to renowned historian Ravinder Kumar, well known for his pioneering work on the social consequences of colonial rule in India, and for founding the Centre for Contemporary Studies at the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library. Here, Fellows of the centre present a collection of historical and contemporary studies on India, which deal with diverse themes from religion to the environment, cultural studies to feminism. Together, these lively and challenging essays offer readings on how we understand India's history and, conversely, how we can use this comprehension of the past to interpret India's complex present.

Turismo e história em perspectiva
“Turismo e História em perspectiva: revisitando as comemorações da Independência e da Semana de Arte Moderna” trata-se de uma obra inovadora que fortalece e evidencia as conexões existentes entre História e Turismo no Brasil. Fruto de um edital da FAPERJ, este livro surge em um momento especial, coincidindo com o Bicentenário da Independência do Brasil e o Centenário da Semana de Arte Moderna de 1922. Com a coordenação de quatro renomadas professoras de diferentes universidades públicas, é resultado de um trabalho de parceria que reforça a formação de redes interinstitucionais. Os 11 capítulos contam com a colaboração de diversos autores, provenientes de diferentes áreas de formação. O que os une é a maneira original de pensar o turismo, inserindo-o em uma perspectiva histórica. As contribuições são diversas e abrangem desde a análise do turismo como instrumento de preservação do patrimônio histórico até a não tão velada disputa entre São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro para ver qual era a cidade mais moderna e cosmopolita, isso há mais de 100 anos!
Meu Vínculo Eterno Com Ela - My Eternal Bond with Her
Essa obra nasceu de maneira despretenciosa com escritos dedicados à minha primeira filha, Gabriela, em momentos em que estávamos distantes uma da outra mas meu coração estava cheio inspiração de querer dizer essas palavras de amor, carinho, respeito, limite, perdão, reconciliação, conexão, importância, pertencimento para ela. Filhos precisam estar envoltos de amor: olhar de amor, falas de amor, abraço de amor, rotinas de amor e surpresas de amor que deixarão neles memórias de amor. Assim eles vão crescer fortalecidos em quem eles são. E é exatamente isso que quero fazer aqui ao compartilhar algo íntimo nosso. Primeiro, quero que ela não tenha dúvidas do meu amor por ela e...
