Book Synopsis Imagining the Mulatta by : Jasmine Mitchell
Download or read book Imagining the Mulatta written by Jasmine Mitchell and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2020-05-25 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brazil markets itself as a racially mixed utopia. The United States prefers the term melting pot. Both nations have long used the image of the mulatta to push skewed cultural narratives. Highlighting the prevalence of mixed race women of African and European descent, the two countries claim to have perfected racial representation—all the while ignoring the racialization, hypersexualization, and white supremacy that the mulatta narrative creates. Jasmine Mitchell investigates the development and exploitation of the mulatta figure in Brazilian and U.S. popular culture. Drawing on a wide range of case studies, she analyzes policy debates and reveals the use of mixed-Black female celebrities as subjects of racial and gendered discussions. Mitchell also unveils the ways the media moralizes about the mulatta figure and uses her as an example of an ”acceptable” version of blackness that at once dreams of erasing undesirable blackness while maintaining the qualities that serve as outlets for interracial desire.
Book Synopsis A Taste of Brazil by : Sarah Spencer

Book excerpt: Bring the flavors of Brazil to your table with this collection of authentic and classic Brazilian recipes! ***BLACK AND WHITE EDITION***Brazilian cooking has gained international popularity thanks to its exotic mix of African, Portuguese and indigenous cuisines. And Brazilian food inspiration does not stop there, as many cultures - primarily German, Middle Eastern, Italian and Japanese have played their role in influencing many of Brazil's classic cuisines. So although it starts with the indigenous tribes-and usually beans and rice-Brazilian food represents a fusion of many different culinary traditions and food cultures. Amazonian ingredients add a special touch. Locally grown tropical fruits and vegetables make meals wholesome and full of vibrant flavors. Many assume that cooking Brazilian recipes is a complex and time-consuming task. But while it is true that many of the recipes sound exotic, they are actually quite manageable and approachable. It also helps that Brazil is a developing country where most food is cooked at home and prepared from scratch. That means that most dishes are easy to prepare at home without any special kitchen skills or utensils. Inside this illustrated cookbook, you'll find 50 authentic Brazilian recipes including: Some information about the Brazilian food culture and the ingredients used for cooking authentic Brazilian dishes. Delightful appetizers and salads such as the Salt Cod Croquettes and the Cornmeal Empanadas. Traditional soups and stews such as the Black Bean Stew with Smoked Meats and the Heart of Palm Soup. Wholesome main entrees like the Beef Rump Steak BBQ and the Brazilian Churrasco BBQ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Critical Literacies aims to answer the timely question: what are the social responsibilities of critical literacy academics, researchers, and teachers in today’s world? Critical literacies are classically understood as ways to interrogate texts and contexts to address injustices and they are an essential literacy practice. Organized into thematic and regional sections, this handbook provides substantive definitions of critical literacies across fields and geographies, surveys of critical literacy work in over 23 countries and regions, and overviews of research, practice, and conceptual connections to established and emerging theoretical frameworks. The chapters on global critical literacy practices include research on language acquisition, the teaching of literature and English language arts, Youth Participatory Action Research, environmental justice movements, and more. This pivotal handbook enables new and established researchers to position their studies within highly relevant directions in the field and engage, organize, disrupt, and build as we work for more sustainable social and material relations. A groundbreaking text, this handbook is a definitive resource and an essential companion for students, researchers, and scholars in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study seeks to identify the determinants of Brazil's favourable export performance until the mid-1980s, especially in the field of manufactured goods. Two hypotheses figure prominently in the analysis. The export success may be due to Brazil's specialization in industries which made intensive use of the country's relatively abundant productive factors. Alternatively, economic policies may be responsible for the success in manufactured exports.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Nazi hunter uncovers a fugitive SS doctor’s terrifying plot to create a Fourth Reich in The Boys from Brazil, a riveting techno-thriller from the incomparable master of suspense, Ira Levin. Veteran Nazi hunter Yakov Liebermann finds himself entangled in a web of unimaginable horror when he is tipped off to a sinister conspiracy hatching in the depths of South America: a plan to establish a new, globe-spanning Fourth Reich. Why has Dr. Josef Mengele—Auschwitz’s fiendish “Angel of Death”—tasked a team of former SS men with the slaughter of ninety-four harmless, aging men across the globe? What hidden link binds these men together? What significance could they possibly hold for their pursuers? With the clock ticking, and the future of humanity hanging in the balance, can the ailing Liebermann take on a seemingly unstoppable enemy and alter the course of history? Adapted into the film starring Gregory Peck and Laurence Olivier, The Boys from Brazil is a gripping, thought-provoking thriller that explores the depths of human malevolence, and the eternal struggle between good and evil.

Book Synopsis The Three Marias by : Rachel de Queiroz
Download or read book The Three Marias written by Rachel de Queiroz and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2011-05-18 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book Favela written by Janice Perlman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-10 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Janice Perlman wrote the first in-depth account of life in the favelas, a book hailed as one of the most important works in global urban studies in the last 30 years. Now, in Favela, Perlman carries that story forward to the present. Re-interviewing many longtime favela residents whom she had first met in 1969--as well as their children and grandchildren--Perlman offers the only long-term perspective available on the favelados as they struggle for a better life. Perlman discovers that while educational levels have risen, democracy has replaced dictatorship, and material conditions have improved, many residents feel more marginalized than ever. The greatest change is the explosion of drug and arms trade and the high incidence of fatal violence that has resulted. Yet the greatest challenge of all is job creation--decent work for decent pay. If unemployment and under-paid employment are not addressed, she argues, all other efforts will fail to resolve the fundamental issues. Foreign Affairs praises Perlman for writing "with compassion, artistry, and intelligence, using stirring personal stories to illustrate larger points substantiated with statistical analysis."

Book Synopsis Understanding Contemporary Brazil by : Jeff Garmany
Download or read book Understanding Contemporary Brazil written by Jeff Garmany and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brazil has famously been called a country of contradictions. It is a place where narratives of "racial democracy" exist in the face of stark inequalities, and where the natural environment is celebrated as a point of national pride, but at the same time is exploited at alarming rates. To people on the outside looking in, these contradictions seem hard to explain. Understanding Contemporary Brazil tackles these problems head-on, providing the perfect critical introduction to Brazil's ongoing social, political, economic, and cultural complexities. Key topics include: • National identity and political structure. • Economic development, environmental contexts, and social policy. • Urban issues and public security. • Debates over culture, race, gender, and spirituality. • Social inequality, protest, and social movements. • Foreign diplomacy and international engagement. By considering more broadly the historical, political economic, and socio-cultural roots of Brazil’s internal dynamics, this interdisciplinary book equips readers with the contextual understanding and critical insight necessary to explore this fascinating country. Written by renowned authors at one of the world's most important centers for the study of Brazil, Understanding Contemporary Brazil is ideal for university students and researchers, yet also accessible to any reader looking to learn more about one of the world's largest and most significant countries.
Book Synopsis The Color of Modernity by : Barbara Weinstein
Download or read book The Color of Modernity written by Barbara Weinstein and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-05 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Color of Modernity, Barbara Weinstein focuses on race, gender, and regionalism in the formation of national identities in Brazil; this focus allows her to explore how uneven patterns of economic development are consolidated and understood. Organized around two principal episodes—the 1932 Constitutionalist Revolution and 1954’s IV Centenário, the quadricentennial of São Paulo’s founding—this book shows how both elites and popular sectors in São Paulo embraced a regional identity that emphasized their European origins and aptitude for modernity and progress, attributes that became—and remain—associated with “whiteness.” This racialized regionalism naturalized and reproduced regional inequalities, as São Paulo became synonymous with prosperity while Brazil’s Northeast, a region plagued by drought and poverty, came to represent backwardness and São Paulo’s racial “Other.” This view of regional difference, Weinstein argues, led to development policies that exacerbated these inequalities and impeded democratization.
