In Brazil and throughout the African diaspora, black women, especially poor black women, are rarely considered leaders of social movements let alone political theorists. But in the northeastern city of Salvador, Brazil, it is these very women who determine how urban policies are established. Focusing on the Gamboa de Baixo neighborhood in Salvador’s city center, Black Women against the Land Grab explores how black women’s views on development have radicalized local communities to demand justice and social change. In Black Women against the Land Grab, Keisha-Khan Y. Perry describes the key role of local women activists in the citywide movement for land and housing rights. She reveals the importance of geographic location for understanding the gendered aspects of urban renewal and the formation of black women–led social movements. How have black women shaped the politics of urban redevelopment, Perry asks, and what does this kind of political intervention tell us about black women’s agency? Her work uncovers the ways in which political labor at the neighborhood level is central to the mass mobilization of black people against institutional racism and for citizenship rights and resources in Brazil. Highlighting the political life of black communities, specifically those in urban contexts often represented as socially pathological and politically bankrupt, Black Women against the Land Grab offers a valuable corrective to how we think about politics and about black women, particularly poor black women, as a political force.

Este livro de fotografias é uma homenagem especial a Manaus, cidade controversa por natureza e que recebeu uma das suas melhores definições na frase do saudoso colunista social do jornal A Crítica, Gilberto (Gil) Barbosa, que a chamava de a “Manô” dos mil contrastes. Por meio desta expressão, que alimentou o imaginário de várias gerações, Gil conseguiu identificar fielmente o sentimento da Manaus em constante transformação, mutante, e cuja pluralidade sempre foi a sua característica mais forte. Uma metrópole incrustada na selva, que possui verdadeiras ilhas de riqueza cercadas de miséria. E esta miscelânea pode ser constatada com mais clareza nas imagens contidas neste trabalho, registradas durante o mês de setembro de 2012, de um ângulo que é privilégio de poucas pessoas: a vista de cima. A partir desta perspectiva aérea foi possível se captar Manaus na essência mais próxima da sua realidade contemporânea, neste momento em que ela está completando 343 anos de sua fundação – daí o título desta obra. O livro “343 Manaus” também possui tradução na língua inglesa, a fim de facilitar aos turistas internacionais que nos visitam um melhor conhecimento sobre a cidade. Por isso, além da justa homenagem à capital amazonense, a obra “343 Manaus”, terceira produção literária da editora Mídia Ponto Comm, é um guia visual turístico que se propõe a descrever e divulgar a sétima cidade mais populosa do Brasil por meio de um excelente acervo fotográfico, distribuído em mais de vinte aspectos da urbe manauara.

This book covers the results of investigation of social realities and their public representation in Brazilian poor communities, with a particular emphasis on the use of cultural tools to survive and create psychological and social novelty under conditions of severe poverty. A relevant part of it brings together the multi-faceted evidence of a decade of research concentrated in two particular low-income areas in the city of Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. Other studies conducted in other Brazilian areas and in Cali, Colombia are included. In contrast to most representations of poverty in the social sciences which create a “calamity story” of the lives of poor people, the coverage in this book is meant to balance the focus on harsh realities with the cultural-psychological resiliency of individuals and families under poverty.
