Political (In)Justice
Why do attempts by authoritarian regimes to legalize their political repression differ so dramatically? Why do some dispense with the law altogether, while others scrupulously modify constitutions, pass new laws, and organize political trials? Political (In)Justice answers these questions by comparing the legal aspects of political repression in three recent military regimes: Brazil (1964-1985); Chile (1973-1990); and Argentina (1976-1983). By focusing on political trials as a reflection of each regime's overall approach to the law, Anthony Pereira argues that the practice of each regime can be explained by examining the long-term relationship between the judiciary and the military. Brazil was marked by a high degree of judicial-military integration and cooperation; Chile's military essentially usurped judicial authority; and in Argentina, the military negated the judiciary altogether. Pereira extends the judicial-military framework to other authoritarian regimes—Salazar's Portugal, Hitler's Germany, and Franco's Spain—and a democracy (the United States), to illuminate historical and contemporary aspects of state coercion and the rule of law.

Fratura Primária
Poesia de Roxana Landívar inaugura coleção sulamericana da Rua do Sabão Como se viver significasse uma terrível batalha, Roxana Landívar mostra em toda sua potência as veias abertas para a dor e para o amor. A falência do que significa existir cria nas palavras da autora diversos pontos, que são cerzidos por um fio condutor visível ao leitor, um fio presente na vida. A solidão é dita ora como um abismo, ora como um bálsamo, e essa mesma sensação se dobra, se triplica, se quadruplica em outros temas como carência, dor, separação, recuperação, família, vida e morte. Dialogando com grandes nomes da literatura universal, a autora expõe sua ancestralidade com uma voz feminina e forte, com cortes retos e afiados. Tudo o que é escrito tem um motivo nobre, um porquê para ela e para quem a lê. Sem usar a escrita como uma forma de salvação, Roxana Landívar experimenta os sentimentos mais profundos, as camadas com maiores nuances de cores, compondo um belíssimo quadro chamado Fratura Primária.
Tarso de Castro
Um livro indispensável para o estudo do jornalismo brasileiro, em nova edição revista pelo autor Todos os amigos de Tarso tem algo em comum: brigaram com ele um porrilhão de vezes. Azar de quem estava brigado com ele quando morreu: nunca mais, disso o corvo, poderá fazer as pazes. Aconteceu com dois ou três. Eu, por exemplo, briguei feio com o cara. E Tarso, quando estava brigado com alguém, o mínimo que fazia era dar chutes abaixo da cintura, e nem sempre metaforicamente. Tive direito, por causa da nossa desavença a um anúncio de falecimento na Folha de S. Paulo. Causa mortis: fui atropelado pelo meu mau caráter, dizia o texto. Era desleal, injusto e implacável com seus desafeto...
