THE SOCIAL SCIENCES PRODUCED BY BLACK intellectuals that developed in Brazil in the 1970s and '80s1 showed us that without the implementation of public policies for black citizens, no theory of development can be sustained as a model for overcoming socioeconomic inequalities.2 After more than 30 years, with the arrival in January 2003 of the Luiz Inacio "LuIa" Da Silva administration, the fight for racial and gender equality that took to the streets and intervened in the national policy agenda beginning in the 1980s now faces limits imposed, in part, by institutionalized racism.3 This racism takes the form of a lack of understanding of the strategic meaning of confronting racism and sexism as a fundamental step in development. It deals specifically with the way in which racism, partria...

A true storyteller, [Slama]'s swim designs are translated through themes of high society, native music and dance, the arts, and war and freedom, all prominent in different eras ranging from the late 1600's to present Brazilian society. Ruffles and dress shirt-inspired silhouettes present the high society of Dutch-occupied Brazil in the 1600's. In the show, the native dance and music of the Maracatu carnival come to life with beading and macrame. Cangaco flaunts the sleek and chic military style of this 1930's social movement. Color-blocking and slashes represent the arid Agreste region; Slama's bright floral prints and glittering sequins evoke images of the freedom Brazilian women exude. As an exciting addition, Slama has also included a flirty athletic print to represent Brazil's favor...

By 2008, there were twentynine foreign language editions, as well as innumerable unofficial translations and adaptations of the original.'1 Travelers from the global South encountered flourishing women's health movements in Europe and ...
