Jaime Pinsky
About this listen
Audiolivro objetivo e ágil, engajado e muito bem documentado, trata das questões centrais da História da Escravidão no Brasil. A obra de Jaime Pinsky aborda temas como o tráfico, a vida cotidiana dos escravos no trabalho e na senzala, a vida sexual e a resistência oferecida pelos negros contra a opressão. O autor, não aceita, contudo, a ideia, defendida por certos historiadores, de que a escravidão permitia relações harmoniosas entre senhores e escravos: no audiolivro, ele revela o caráter cruel da escravidão e sua influência perversa na formação de nossa sociedade.

In 1992, the deadliest year in Chicago’s history, seven-year-old Dantrell Davis was shot and killed in front of his elementary school inside the public housing complex Cabrini-Green. What happened to Dantrell led to a truce among Chicago’s gangs, but it also ignited a national panic about poverty and violence in America’s cities. Dantrell’s name would soon be used to demolish all of Chicago’s high-rise public housing, displacing tens of thousands of low-income families.

Christmas is the single biggest annual event on the planet, a time for merry-making, over-indulgence, peace, goodwill, and the occasional family row. It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.
