The Dialectic Is in the Sea

The Black Radical Thought of Beatriz Nascimento

By: Beatriz Nascimento

Collected writings by one of the most influential Black Brazilian intellectuals of the twentieth century Beatriz Nascimento (1942–1995) was a poet, historian, artist, and political leader in Brazil’s Black movement, an innovative and creative thinker whose work offers a radical reimagining of gender, space, politics, and spirituality around the Atlantic and across the Black diaspora. Her powerful voice still resonates today, reflecting a deep commitment to political organizing, revisionist historiography, and the lived experience of Black women. The Dialectic Is in the Sea is the first English-language collection of writings by this vitally important figure in the global tradition of Black radical thought. The Dialectic Is in the Sea traces the development of Nascimento’s thought across the decades of her activism and writing, covering topics such as the Black woman, race and Brazilian society, Black freedom, and Black aesthetics and spirituality. Incisive introductory and analytical essays provide key insights into the political and historical context of Nascimento’s work. This engaging collection includes an essay by Bethânia Gomes, Nascimento’s only daughter, who shares illuminating and uniquely personal insights into her mother’s life and career.

Nago Grandma and White Papa

By: Beatriz Góis Dantas

A recognized classic in the literature on African Brazilian religions, Nag Grandma and White Papa is an important case study of social identity formation as a relational process involving the 'political' mobilization of cultural markers to define group differences. Dantas's book remains surprisingly relevant to current theoretical debates on these questions as well as to the area of African diaspora studies.'' - Robert Slenes, Universidad Estadual de Campinas, Brazil ''Dantas brings together the practices of everyday believers, religious authorities, intellectuals, and elites to explore what Africa means in Brazil and how that meaning has changed over time. The depth, care, and sophistication of her research and analysis have made this book a model for a generation of scholarship in Brazil. Translation into English brings this imaginative work the broad audience it fully deserves.

Rio de Janeiro

Urban Life through the Eyes of the City

By: Beatriz Jaguaribe

Through artistic imaginaries, media productions, social practices and spatial mappings, this book offers an insightful and original contribution to the understanding of Rio de Janeiro, one of the highly contested urban terrains in the world. Offering a rich diversity of examples extracted from lived experience, iconographic materials, and narratives, it provides innovative and compelling connections between theoretical questions and urban vignettes. Throughout the essays, the specificity of Rio de Janeiro is highlighted but framed in relation to theoretical questions that are relevant to major contemporary cities. The book underlines the dilemmas of a city that attempts to compete globally while confronting social inequality, violence, and novel forms of democratic agency. It retraces Rio de Janeiro’s modernist memories as the former political/cultural capital of Brazilian intelligentsia and national culture. It explores Rio as a city of popular culture, mestizo legacies, media productions, and cultural innovation.

Opening the Portals of Heaven

Brazilian Ayahuasca Music

By: Beatriz Caiuby Labate,Gustavo Pacheco

Du site de l'éd.: This book highlights the theme of music in the ayahuasca religions of Santo Daime (both the Cefluris and Alto Santo groups) and the União do Vegetal (UDV). Although most studies of the ayahuasca religions recognize the centrality of music in their rituals, the study of the music itself has generally been secondary to other themes, rather than the central focus that it is here. A rich cultural manifestation, ayahuasca music reveals multiple connections with Brazilian religiosity and with the musical expression of the Northeast and Amazonia, and has been one of the principal elements highlighted by recent efforts to designate ayahuasca as immaterial cultural heritage of the Brazilian nation. The book explores the key role that music plays in the everyday life of these religions, in the production of religious meanings, and in the construction of the bodies and the subjectivity of adepts. Through a description of each group's musicality and a comparison among them, the authors seek to understand these groups' ethos. This book represents an important contribution to an area of study that is still little explored in Brazil: the use of music in ritual and religious contexts.

Tooth Wear

The Quintessential Challenge

By: Débora R. Vilaboa,Beatriz R. Vilaboa,Jose Manuel Reuss,Débora Reuss

Tooth wear is a significant challenge. Progressive, irreversible, and multifactorial in nature, it requires a patient-centered methodology for successful treatment. In this impressive book, the authors advance an integrative and multidisciplinary approach to worn dentitions that promotes early detection, thorough assessment, and conservative modalities and also understands that comprehensive treatment can require surgery, implants, orthodontics, and indirect restoration to improve oral health and achieve esthetic results. Overall, this book effectively compiles all clinical aspects of tooth wear—from concept and diagnosis, treatment and communication, to prevention and long-term maintenance.

Wonder Memories

By: Beatriz Albuquerque

Wonder Memories book was created by Beatriz Albuquerque and is part of a project that maps, documents and disseminates the memories of the Portuguese diaspora around the world. The project's intentions are to archive the present history of the communities and the place, the richness of experiences, the living heritage, durable materiality and immateriality, Portuguese traceability, with dialogues of opinions and synergetic exchanges between the artist and Portuguese emigrants from the host countries. It started in 2022 with Lille-Roubaix-Tourcoing, France, and in 2023 it was developed in New York and New Jersey, USA; in 2024 in Porto, Portugal where she invites Portuguese emigrants (current or former) who want to share their experience and add their testimony to the “Wonder Memories” project. This multidisciplinary project has taken various media forms, such as this book.
