      • History of Brazil

        by Boris Fausto

        Covering a period of more than five hundred years, ranging from the roots of the Portuguese colonization to current days, Boris Fausto narrates the most important facts of Brazilian history. In his detailed analysis of the greater influences that delineate the country’s formation, the author analyzes fundamental institutions, such as the colonial system, the slavery system and the authoritarian regimes of the 20th century. Fausto emphasizes socio-political practices, challenging controversial issues, including reasons for the Portuguese abandoning the enslavement of the indigenous peoples, but enslaving Africans; the maintenance of the Brazilian territory as a whole, while the Spanish colonies were fragmented; and even the difficult transition from the authoritarian regime to the democratic government over the last few decades.

      • IMAGES OF WOMEN IN THE MODERN WEST

        by Isabelle Anchieta

        Images of Women in the Modern West is a trilogy authored by the sociologist Isabelle Anchieta. The author traces the process of humanization and individualization of women through images, from the end of the Middle Ages to the Modern. The result of eight years of field research in various countries, the work is divided into three volumes. The first establishes a dialogue between the images of the witches of the Middle Ages and those of the Indian Tupinambas cannibals; the second focuses on the different representations of Maria and Maria Magdalena; the last volume explores the transgressions of Hollywood stars. The works feature presentations by historian Lilia Schwarcz, sociologist Maria Arminda do Nascimento Arruda, and anthropologist Máximo Canevacci.
