        De cor da pele

        by Camargo, Denise

        More than three hundred years of slavery have bequeathed to Brazil a society in which racism infiltrates daily life in the most perverse ways. From the coloring pencils used at school to the terms with which people define themselves, resulting from the range of tones that miscegenation - recognized or not - produces, the beauty of color and diversity is only now beginning to be noticed.

        by Fabiana de Barros (author)

        Geraldo de Barros (1923-1998) was one of the most important representatives of Brazilian’s Modernism.

He cultivated contacts with the European artistic avant-garde and, in Brazil, was a pioneer in developing and experiencing new trends such as pop art and happening.

        LATIN AMERICAN COLONIAL HERITAGE

        Urbanism, architecture, sacred art

        by Percival Tirapeli (author)

        The fruit of an extensive research by Professor Percival Tirapeli, this richly illustrated work covers three centuries of Colonial and Baroque art, and is divided in three parts: “Colonial Urbanism”, “Ecclesiastical Architecture” and “Sacred Art – Furniture and Ornamentation”. “Colonial Urbanism” explains the differences and approximations of the layout and planned urbanism between Hispano-American and Portuguese-Brazilian cities. “Ecclesiastical Architecture” analyzes the cathedrals of the viceroyalties, the audiences and the Brazilian sees. The section “Sacred Art – Furniture and Ornamentation” completes the analysis of churches, examining their retable façades, the furniture of the altars and their ornamental complements, such as sculptures and paintings.

        SOUTH AMERICAN CITIES AS CULTURAL ARENAS

        by Fernanda Arêas Peixoto and Adrián Gorelik (editors)

        Organized by Fernanda Arêas Peixoto, professor at the Department of Anthropology of the University of São Paulo, and Adrián Gorelik, professor at the University of Quilmes, this book is the result of a collective research project about the cultural urban history in South America, which was developed by a group of South American researchers. Using as a compass the notion of “cultural arena”, this work performs a reflection on the city as a place of cultural germination, experimentation and resistance. Some cities – Buenos Aires, Santiago, Lima, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Salvador, Montevideo, among others – are studied in order to capture the intimate and inextricable relations between city and culture.

        Liguria in Cucina - The flavours of Liguria

        Ricette della tradizione Traditional recipes

        by Enrica Monzani

        “As happens all over the world, the nature of a place, its history, its culture and the character of those who live there are all revealed at the dining table. So how can we define the Ligurian kitchen? It is multifaceted, colourful and above all full of contrasts, because Liguria is itself like this: made of high mountains that fall steeply to the coast, of sea and woodland, different in the East and the West, of seafaring and peasant culture but also mercantile and cosmopolitan, shy and reserved, yet open to the world.” This book is an act of love for the flavours, terroir and history of Liguria; a culinary journey through a region where everything is used, and where past and present, simplicity and creativity all have influence in the kitchen. Enrica Monzani shares the tastes and aromas of home, the land that Ligurian sailors longed for while on their long voyages at sea.

        PANTANAL WETLANDS

        by João Farkas

        Rich in biodiversity, the Pantanal is one of the largest floodplains on the planet, a region of encounter and transition between different natural profiles in South America. The Pantanal flood regime determines a monumental natural beauty, and the rhythm of heterogeneous wildlife. Water, land, native vegetation and animals. Minerals, fire and dust, crops and grazing. All of this is in the very current portrait that João Farkas makes of the Pantanal. The biome, which has been suffering from the escalation of human aggressions to the environment, appears here in all its majesty, in panoramic images that blend with portraits of locals (“pantaneiros”), trees and animals.
