In Spite of You
In October 2018 Brazilians elected Jair Bolsonaro as their new president. A former army officer who served under the military dictatorship, Bolsonaro has spent his political career campaigning against democracy and human rights. His notoriety comes from his repeated racist, sexist and homophobic statements and his defense of torture, extra-judicial executions and impunity for Brazil´s security forces. Bolsonaro is sometimes described as a “Tropical Trump.” But this wording greatly underestimates the threat that he poses to Brazil´s still young and fragile democratic institutions. In Spite of You brings together voices of the new Brazilian resistance. It includes chapters by Dilma Rouss...

Opera in the Tropics
Opera in the Tropics is an engaging exploration of theater with music in Brazil from the mid 1500s to the early 1820s. Author Rogério Budasz delves into the practices of the actors, singers, poets, and composers who created and performed Jesuit moral plays, Spanish comedias, and Portuguese vernacular operas and entremezes during the colonial period, as well as the Italian operas that celebrated the new independent nation in 1822. A Brazilian producer claimed in 1825 that the goal of music-theater was to instruct, entertain, and distract the population. Budasz argues that this threefold goal had in fact been present throughout the colonial period, in different combinations and with different...
Brasil
La entrada en prisión de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva el 7 de abril de 2018 dio la vuelta al mundo y acaparó la atención de los principales medios de comunicación y redes sociales. No era para menos. El que fue uno de los jefes de Estado más populares del planeta, cuyo liderazgo inspiró a numerosos países, terminaba en la cárcel con una condena de 12 años por corrupción. Los seguidores de la escena política brasileña reaccionaron con estupefacción y sorpresa: ¿cómo ha podido una figura como Lula acabar en la cárcel? ¿Cómo, en tan poco tiempo, el “país del futuro”, que crecía a buen ritmo y con políticas que parecían agradar a una gran mayoría, se desplomó con tanta ...
Sugarcane Labor Migration in Brazil
This book examines the experiences of seasonal, migrant sugarcane workers in Brazil, analyzing the deep-seated inequalities pervasive in contemporary Brazil. Education, employment, income, health, and relative political power are forefront in this study of the living and working conditions of the transient population. Based on ten years of qualitative research dominated by in-depth interviews with migrant sugarcane workers, this project argues that the ills of the sugarcane industry are symptomatic of an overarching problem of unequal access to opportunities by all Brazilian citizens. The project is unique in its use of a single industry as an expression of the multifarious problems of socioeconomic, regional, and racial inequality. The author explores details of the labor migration experience with a central premise that the conditions are not a direct outcome of the industry, but rather a manifestation of fundamental inequalities rooted in Brazil’s colonial history.
Operation Car Wash
A Financial Times Book to Read in 2022 Operation Car Wash is the inside story of two Brazilian Federal Police officers who found themselves at the centre of the biggest corruption scandal in history; uncovering a web of political and corporate racketeering which would lead them all the way to the arrest and imprisonment of the nation's President. Through engrossing first-hand testimony, Pontes and Anselmo recount the uphill battle faced by the Federal Police in apprehending Brazil's white-collar criminals, in a country where the war on drugs has become a convenient distraction for the politicians and businessmen extracting billions of dollars from the public purse. A historical record that reads like a political police thriller, Operation Car Wash is also a warning to the world: demonstrating how easily institutionalized crime can take root in a nation, and how difficult it can be to eradicate.
Fundamentos da Lei Anticorrupção da Pessoa Jurídica
O fenômeno da corrupção, utilizando-se das benesses do mundo globalizado, tornou-se um problema mundial. Nesse contexto, as pessoas jurídicas acabam sendo utilizadas como instrumento para prática de condutas ilícitas, principalmente, as corruptas.

Nesse primeiro volume da coleção Integritate, estudam-se os fundamentos da Lei Anticorrup�...
