Blackness and Social Mobility in Brazil

Contemporary Transformations

By: Doreen Joy Gordon

This book examines the emergence of the black middle classes in urban Brazil, after 30 years of black mobilization and against the backdrop of deep economic, cultural, and political transformations taking place in recent decades within the country. One of the consequences of such transformations is said to be the restructuring of gender, race, and class relations. Utilizing qualitative research techniques such as ethnography, interviews, life histories, and focus groups among Afro-descendant families in the Northeast region of the country, the book explores contemporary race, class, and gender inequalities and their impact on daily lived experience. It reveals the dynamics underlying upward mobility, the diverse modes and experiences of social ascent into the middle classes, and the everyday negotiations involved in establishing one's status in the socio-racial hierarchy, which are not captured by other, more "macro" lenses. While some of these patterns are not peculiar to black people, this book argues that "race" shaped the contours and possibilities of social mobility in particular ways. This book is critical reading for specialists in the fields of inequality and race, class, and gender relations.

My God Is Amazing

My God Is Amazing

By: Doreen Davidson

My God is Amazing" is the true story of a woman who searched for God and at the age of 39 found Him. When she heard how He gave His Son Jesus, to die on a cross for her she was so touched that she gave her life to Him. From that moment on her life was never the same. It became "exciting" as she saw Him using her to reach out to others with the same message which won her heart. It became "fulfilling" as she saw His plans for her being worked out day by day and it became "meaningful" as she felt so loved by Him. It also became "supernatural" as she entered a new dimension - one of "awe" and "wonder".

Passionate Hope

By: Doreen Scott

This story is a sequel to my first book The Door to Happiness under the name of Rowena Ewart but this story based on a true story easily stands alone. Two people more than a decade apart in age suffer sadness and pain as young children. They strive passionately to live up to the goals they have set themselves. Nothing and no one will be allowed to make them stray from their ambitions. They both have a defined route to achieve their goals, but life as often happens prevents the straight line they desire. Fate seems to throw them together with the resulting clashes in personality. Aaron is a Consultant Surgeon and Jessie having worked very hard to achieve the necessary qualifications to go to Medical School to train to be a Doctor, a promise she made as a little girl to God and herself. She is prevented from being offered a place a University by the number of men being discharged from the War She is clever, feisty and fiery with a good sense of humour which sometimes gets her into trouble, but she is vulnerable with even the most innocent contact with men other than her family. Aaron is twelve years her senior, arrogant, self opinionated and sometimes downright rude. The chemistry between them is almost tangible. Aaron's history catches up with him involving Jessie in fear, terror and injury. There are some humorous incidences amidst a cast of many people they meet along the way until Peace is declared between them.
