Esta obra tem como objetivo analisar o papel que desempenhou a crítica literária na construção da cultura escrita do Oitocentos brasileiro, a partir do pressuposto de que a literatura foi a principal forma de expressão, conhecimento e reconhecimento do Brasil enquanto nação naquele período. Milena da Silveira Pereirabusca apreender em que medida o gênero, então insipiente, foi conduzido por princípios regulares e buscou definir, forjar ou mesmo inventar uma cultura escrita e uma nacionalidade brasileiras. Para a autora, a crítica literária assumiu no século 19 uma posição equivalente à de tutora dos escritores, inclusive traduzindo os anseios e projetos da sociedade, ou seja, teria pretendido ajudar a delinear as feições do literato. Boa parte do discurso crítico produzido naquele período, pontua ela, foi publicada em periódicos editados pelas sociedades literárias de São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro e por esse motivo tais textos constituem o corpus documental da obra, que dedica um capítulo específico a esses veículos. Segundo Silveira Pereira, além de grande peso como instrumento legitimador e de manutenção da prática de associar-se dos letradosdaquele tempo, os periódicos desempenharam papel importante na divulgação de seus escritos para públicos mais amplos, contribuindo assim para a consolidação da crítica literária enquanto tal e das ideias que o gênero textual procurava disseminar.

Finalist for the 2015 Albert J. Raboteau Prize for the Best Book in Africana Religions presented by the Journal of Africana ReligionsOshun's Daughters examines representations of African diasporic religions from novels and poems written by women in the United States, the Spanish Caribbean, and Brazil. In spite of differences in age, language, and nationality, these women writers all turn to variations of traditional Yoruba religion (Santería/Regla de Ocha and Candomblé) as a source of inspiration for creating portraits of womanhood. Within these religious systems, binaries that dominate European thought—man/woman, mind/body, light/dark, good/evil—do not function in the same way, as the emphasis is not on extremes but on balancing or reconciling these radical differences. Involvement with these African diasporic religions thus provides alternative models of womanhood that differ substantially from those found in dominant Western patriarchal culture, namely, that of virgin, asexual wife/mother, and whore. Instead we find images of the sexual woman, who enjoys her body without any sense of shame; the mother, who nurtures her children without sacrificing herself; and the warrior woman, who actively resists demands that she conform to one-dimensional stereotypes of womanhood.

"With its new political and cultural affiliations with the Middle East and the renewed visibility of the country's millions of practicing Muslims and those with Middle Eastern roots, Brazil may offer valuable lessons for countries transformed by the "Arab Spring." This groundbreaking collection reveals the historical links between these two world regions, describes the emergence of new South-South solidarities, and offers new methodologies for the study of transnationalism, global culture, and international relations"--
