This book aims to examine the nature of and resistance to gendered urban violence among Brazilian women in London and in the favelas of Maré, Rio de Janeiro. Drawing on the conceptualisation of translocational gendered urban violence framework, it highlights the importance of examining direct forms of gender-based violence across private, public and transnational spheres as interlinked with structural, symbolic and infrastructural violence. The book also explores the embodied and spatialised nature of gendered urban violence, explored through artistic engagements and arts-based methods. In developing a translocational feminist tracing methodological and epistemological approach across the social sciences and the arts, the book argues for the importance of a collaborative approach among academic, civil society organisations, artists and creative researchers with a view to engendering empathetic transformation to address gendered urban violence in the long-term.

Minimini loved being a good, tiny and cheerful story. One day she was told she had to be very big or very sad to be good story. Between pages filled with surprises, Minimini discovered other ways of telling her adventures. And the best one was hidden right at the end of the book.
Vitória was born in Angola, but she was raised by her grandparents in Portugal. To become, perhaps, a "good wife". She's marked by a trauma she never overcame: she's never met her mother, an Angolan revolutionary. A few months before her wedding, she flees to Angola. Looking for her mother and her own sexual identity.She arrives in Luanda at the beginning of the 21st century. She finds it chaotic, filledwith social contrasts, a watercolor where tragedy and comedy dance together. Zacarias Vindu, a general involved in arms trafficking and a poetry lover, and Romena Cambissa, a hurricane-like widow, are, and simultaneously aren't, her main guides around Luanda. But it's in Huambo, in a magical and mystical Angola, that she unearths new clues, when she gets to know Juliana Tijamba, who fought in the civil war alongside her mother, in a meeting that awakens all of Vitória's ghosts. She is then forced to confront her past and to come into herself as an adult. Between satire and tragedy, abandonment and rupture, this is a story of self-discovery. A contemporary, urban, and feminine novel.

Stories of the Walled City uncover the subtleties of life through love, faith and human relationships. They take the reader to a distant land – a faraway world where every character breathes the life of an ordinary person. The human flaws in them are surprisingly familiar in any setting. The charm of the stories does not lie only in the pretended moral acts of the characters but also in the delusional life of perfection. They give a glimpse of the desired balance between both the worlds that pierce through the questions of spirituality in selfish or selfless acts.
