A novella by bestselling author Paulo Lins (“City of God”) tells the stirring tale of the establishment of the Brazilian favela Mãe Luíza. Fleeing drought and deadly heat, the people there fought for a piece of land to call their own, hoping for a better life. Thanks to their optimism and solidarity, their vision gradually took shape. Over the past 30 years, the district of Mãe Luíza in Brazil's northeastern city of Natal developed from a desolate favela into a functioning community. From the first humanitarian aid to construction of a gymnasium, this persistent process is outlined in short articles and essays in the second part of this richly illustrated volume. The documentation impressively demonstrates how transformation was achieved step by step with the help of many, laying the groundwork for ongoing progress. Less crime, better education, and a fairer society – much has been accomplished and even more is possible for the future.

"Il faut à la Belgique une colonie!" Dat laat Leopold II in 1860 graveren op een steen van het Parthenon. Dit rijkelijk geïllustreerde boek vertelt die geschiedenis. Het begint bij Leopold I. Onze eerste vorst probeert al in 1837 (!) Kreta en Ghana in te lijven. Tevergeefs. Een paar jaar later haalt hij wel zijn slag thuis en sticht hij in Guatemala de bevolkingskolonie van Santo-Tomas. Het enige wat er vandaag nog van rest is een Belgisch kerkhof. Dan heeft zijn zoon meer succes. Ja, Leopold II zijn pogingen in Marokko lopen nog uit op een sisser: in de tuin van het paleis belandt rebellenleider Bou Hamara, door ons land bewapend met 1200 FN-geweren, in de leeuwenkooi. Maar dan komt Congo in het vizier. Aan de hand van de belangrijkste feiten en gebeurtenissen vertelt Lucas Catherine hoe de verovering en plundering van bestaande maatschappijen gebeurde, wat een en ander voor België betekende en hoe het volk zich verzette. En natuurlijk ook hoe de eerste Congolezen hier verzeilden toen ze in 1908 officieel Belg werden.

Global climate solutions depend on low-carbon energy transitions in developing countries, but little is known about how those will unfold. Examining the transitions of Brazil and South Africa, Hochstetler reveals how choices about wind and solar power respond to four different constellations of interests and institutions, or four simultaneous political economies of energy transition. The political economy of climate change set Brazil and South Africa on different tracks, with South Africa's coal-based electricity system fighting against an existential threat. Since deforestation dominates Brazil's climate emissions, climate concerns were secondary there for electricity planning. Both saw significant mobilization around industrial policy and cost and consumption issues, showing the importance of economic considerations for electricity choices in emerging economies. Host communities resisted Brazilian wind power, but accepted other forms. Hochstetler argues that national energy transition finally depends on the intersection of these political economies, with South Africa illustrating a politicized transition mode and Brazil presenting a bureaucracy-dominant one.

The 2018 presidential election result in Brazil surprised and shocked many. Since then, numerous debates and a growing body of texts have attempted to understand the country’s so-called ‘conservative turn’. A gripping in-depth account of politics and society in Brazil today, this new volume brings together a myriad of different perspectives to help us better understand the political events that shook the country in recent years. Combining ethnographic insights with political science, history, sociology, and anthropology, the interdisciplinary analyses included offer a panoramic view on social and political change in Brazil, spanning temporal and spatial dimensions. Starting with the 2018 presidential election, the contributors discuss the country’s recent –or more distant– past in relation to the present. Pointing to the continuities and disruptions in the course of those years, the analyses offered are an invaluable guide to unpacking and understanding the limits of Brazilian democracy, including what has already come to pass, but also what is yet to come.
