No início da década de 90, várias crianças desapareceram no Paraná. Em 6 de abril de 1992, na cidade de Guaratuba, litoral do estado, foi a vez do menino Evandro Ramos Caetano, de 6 anos. Poucos dias depois, seu corpo foi encontrado sem mãos, cabelos e vísceras, o que levou à suspeita de que ele fora sacrificado num ritual satânico. Passados três meses, numa reviravolta que deixou até os investigadores atônitos, sete pessoas — incluindo a esposa e a filha do prefeito da cidade — foram presas e confessaram o crime. O caso, que ficou conhecido como "As bruxas de Guaratuba", teve imensa repercussão. Especulações sobre o crime diabólico preencheram páginas e mais páginas de jornais, e ocuparam a programação televisiva. Os desdobramentos judiciais se estenderam por cerca de três décadas. Neste livro reportagem, criado a partir da pesquisa feita para a quarta temporada do podcast Projeto Humanos, Ivan Mizanzuk conta como procedimentos investigativos contestáveis e denúncias de tortura puseram em xeque a validade não apenas do trabalho policial, mas também das confissões dos supostos culpados.
From the first encounters between the Portuguese and indigenous peoples in 1500 to the current political turmoil, the history of Brazil is much more complex and dynamic than the usual representations of it as the home of Carnival, soccer, the Amazon, and samba would suggest. This extensively revised and expanded second edition of the best-selling Brazil Reader dives deep into the past and present of a country marked by its geographical vastness and cultural, ethnic, and environmental diversity. Containing over one hundred selections—many of which appear in English for the first time and which range from sermons by Jesuit missionaries and poetry to political speeches and biographical portraits of famous public figures, intellectuals, and artists—this collection presents the lived experience of Brazilians from all social and economic classes, racial backgrounds, genders, and political perspectives over the past half millennium. Whether outlining the legacy of slavery, the roles of women in Brazilian public life, or the importance of political and social movements, The Brazil Reader provides an unparalleled look at Brazil’s history, culture, and politics.
