O pa í, prezada: institutional racism and sexism taking a tram in the women's penitentiaries is the second book by Carla Akotirene, who also published Interseccionalidade, by the Plural Feminisms collection. In it, the author is based on an Afrocentric methodology to collect and analyze data on the absence of public policies on gender and race for women incarcerated in Salvador. This study is a faithful and necessary portrait of the general panorama of Brazilian prisons and sheds light on a situation we need to be aware of, as a society in which mass incarceration, especially of the black and poor population, is an epidemic.

Ísis Rossetti is a witch. Her job is to monitor crimes involving supernatural activity in the city of São Paulo. And only those crimes. The rules are clear: if there is no magic involved, she is not allowed to intervene. But in the midst of the city’s suffocating chaos , the lives of common people are in constant danger. She can’t just sit there and watch. Everything escalates when, caught between two extraofficial investigations, Ísis receives a mission from a deity. She must then relive personal issues she would much rather leave buried in the past, kept under lock and key by her friends, all while trying to handle the Magistrate and his watchful gaze.
