»Johny Pitts ist ein Bricoleur, ein erleuchteter, menschenfreundlicher Bastler im Lévi-Strauss'schen Sinne. Selbst Sohn einer weißen Arbeiterin aus Sheffield und eines schwarzen Soul-Sängers aus New York, dessen Mutter noch auf den Feldern South Carolinas Baumwolle pflückte, lässt er seine nachdenkliche, einfühlsame Reportage auch zu einer Suche nach der eigenen Identität werden.« Aus der Begründung der Jury des Leipziger Buchpreises zur Europäischen Verständigung 2021Mit wenig Geld und einem Interrail-Ticket bereist Johny Pitts die Metropolen des Kontinents, um jener Lebenserfahrung nachzuspüren, die er als 'afropäisch' bezeichnet. In Paris, Berlin, Moskau oder Marseille trifft er Künstler und Aktivistinnen, aber auch Menschen, deren Alltag von Rassismus und Armut geprägt ist. Nicht nur in den französischen Banlieues und den Favelas am Rande Lissabons wird deutlich, dass Europas multikulturelle Gegenwart nach wie vor von seiner kolonialen Vergangenheit gezeichnet ist. Meisterhaft verknüpft Pitts Reportage und literarischen Essay zu einem zeitgenössischen Porträt eines Weltteils auf der Suche nach seiner postkolonialen Identität.- Shop: buecher

Dancing with Thieves: One Woman's Incredible Journey from the World of Theatre to the Streets, Slums and Prisons of São Paulo, Brazil , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 480min
Cally Magalhães’ memoir is a gripping pause-resister of an autobiography. With a novelist’s eye for descriptive detail, Cally invites us to accompany her on her astonishing journey from England to India and Estonia, and finally to São Paulo, Brazil. We join her as she follows a trail of signs and blessings to bring relief, hope, and healing to people who need help, wherever they may be - in the streets, the favelas, the prisons, or hidden under bridges. She describes in moving detail the transformational work of The Eagle Project, using psychodrama and restorative justice in Brazilian prisons. To listen to this book is to be inspired by the positive change one person can bring to so many individual lives - changing the world one person at a time. Cally has much to teach us about being fully present for all of life’s events and challenges. With hard-won wisdom and deep reflection, she describes a life based on faith and gratitude, encapsulated in her ringing sentence, "When you help people who have nothing, then you realise you have everything." Her memoir has lessons for us all about what it means to walk the Earth with grace and love. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cally Magalhães.

Fettnäpfchenführer Brasilien
Ausgelassener Samba und ultraknappe Bikinis, Favelas und Drogenkrieg - was ist dran an diesen Extremen? Und wie meistern die 170 Millionen brasileiros in einem solch widersprüchlichen Klima ihren Alltag?So vielfältig und tolerant dieses bunte Land ist, gibt es doch eine Reihe von Hürden, die sich deutschen Gewohnheiten zuckerhutgroß in den Weg stellen. Oder wussten Sie, dass Sie einen neuen Bekannten keinesfalls ein zweites Mal nach seinem Namen fragen sollten, dass Samba stets nur mit Turnschuhen getanzt wird, dass es klare Verhaltensregeln im Fußballstadion gibt oder dass Sie Damenunterwäsche unter keinen Umständen in die normale Wäsche geben dürfen?Linda ahnt von alldem nichts, als sie im sonnigen Rio landet, um dort für drei Monate Deutsch zu unterrichten. Gott sei Dank gibt es João, den brasilianischen Philosophiestudenten. Er erklärt ihr, wie man zwischen Copacabana und Regenwald elegant durch den Dschungel gesellschaftlicher Konventionen dribbelt, und verhindert, dass Linda zwischen brasilianischer Lebensfreude und leiser saudade - einer Hängematte voller Sehnsucht, Melancholie und Schmerz - vollends aus dem Rhythmus gerät.Aktualisierte und komplett überarbeitete Neuausgabe mit noch mehr Fettnäpfchen- Shop: buecher

Never Stop Walking: A Memoir of Finding Home Across the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 565min
An extraordinary memoir of one woman’s fight to find her true self between the life into which she was born and the one she was given. Christiana Mara Coelho was born into extreme poverty in Brazil. After spending the first seven years of her life with her loving mother in the forest caves outside São Paulo and then on the city streets, where they begged for food, she and her younger brother were suddenly put up for adoption. When one door closed on the only life Christiana had ever known and on the woman who protected her with all her heart, a new one opened. As Christina Rickardsson, she’s raised by caring adoptive parents in Sweden, far from the despairing favelas of her childhood. Accomplished and outwardly “normal,” Christina is also filled with rage over what she’s lost and having to adapt to a new reality while struggling with the traumas of her youth. When her world falls apart again as an adult, Christina returns to Brazil to finally confront her past and unlock the truth of what really happened to Christiana Mara Coelho. A memoir of two selves, Never Stop Walking is the moving story of the profound love between families and one woman’s journey from grief and loss to survival and self-discovery. ungekürzt.

Nova Esperança offers no future for Liege Neves as a gangrat and daughter of the favelas. With one goal in mind - to save her younger sister and ailing grandfather from a difficult and hopeless future - Liege's only option is the Federation Navy. Scoring higher on her entrance exams than anyone had expected, Liege enlists as a corpsman and hopes for a safe career that will allow her to get her Avó the help he requires. The needs of the Navy always take precedence, however, and instead of an expected hospital billet, Liege's life takes a dangerous turn when her first set of orders is to the Fleet Marine Corps instead. After being trained to heal and save lives, she is suddenly issued a weapon and thrust into combat to defend the Federation. Face-to-face with war, destruction, and the probability to both save and take lives, Liege must find the strength, discipline, and courage within herself to protect her family and brothers-in-arms and earn the time-honored title of "Doc." This is the third book in the series. Each book focuses on the careers of three women: two Marines and a Navy corpsmen.

Intervenção Humanitária Na saúde urbana na região do Sul da Ásia
Em 2050, quase 70% da população mundial poderá viver em áreas urbanas. A urbanização é uma realidade multidimensional que envolve grandes mudanças na forma como as pessoas trabalham e vivem, e oferece oportunidades sem precedentes para melhorar seus níveis de alfabetização, estado de saúde e expectativa de vida, melhorar sua sustentabilidade ambiental e fazer um uso mais eficiente dos recursos naturais cada vez mais escassos. No entanto, este fenómeno não resulta necessariamente numa distribuição equitativa de serviços e bem-estar, aumentando assim a pobreza urbana em relação à pobreza rural. Especialmente nos países em desenvolvimento do Sul da Ásia, mulheres, crianças, minorias étnicas e migrantes que vivem em bairros desfavorecidos e favelas enfrentam desafios socioculturais, econômicos, ambientais e políticos que limitam seu acesso aos cuidados de saúde. Então como a urbanização afeta a saúde nos países em desenvolvimento? O que pode justificar a necessidade de uma abordagem humanitária adaptada aos contextos urbanos para as intervenções da RMNCH, particularmente no Sul da Ásia? Este trabalho pretende ser um diagnóstico inicial do ambiente urbano do Sul da Ásia para entender como a urbanização afeta a RMNCH nas cidades de Dhaka e Yangon.- Shop: buecher

Diese ungewöhnliche Reise durch die brasilianische Gesellschaft beginnt und endet in der Favela und zeigt schonungslos die Facetten der brasilianischen Gesellschaft am Beispiel der Schicksale einiger Familien und Personen. Lernen Sie in diesem Buch die Besonderheiten der brasilianischen Favelas kennen, die ausgeprägte Religiosität mit ihren guten Seiten und ihrem Missbrauch, die absurde Welt der Kriminalität und der Gefängnisse, die organisierte Kriminalität der Politik, die Prostitution, die verbleibenden Spuren der Sklaverei, die Eigenarten der brasilianischen Sprache, die vermeintliche sexuelle Freiheit und vieles mehr.Als Musiker verkehrt man als Quereinsteiger in allen gesellschaftlichen Schichten und gewinnt viele Freunde, und durch meine Mitarbeit in sozialen Projekten lernte ich weiter die Welt der Verlorenen kennen.20 Jahre als Musiker und Übersetzer in Brasilien gekoppelt mit meiner natürlichen Vorliebe zu riskanten Dingen und meinem Interesse für das, was den meisten verschlossen bleibt, verschafften mir Zutritt zu sozialen Milieus, die den Journalisten und Schriftstellern normalerweise unzugänglich sind. Ich speiste mit dem berühmtesten Drogendealer, aber auch mit Gouverneuren, Obdachlosen, Prostituierten, Terroristen... Ich war im Gefängnis, ich war im Senat und gewann Einblick hinter die Kulissen, ich war unter den Brücken, wo Obdachlose hausen und an vielen anderen ungewöhnlichen Orten.- Shop: buecher

Chiara Lubich: A Biography, a Spirituality of Unity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 239min
The New York Times called Chiara Lubich “one of the most influential women in the Catholic Church.” This biography transports listeners inside the story of a young woman, born to a poor family in Trent, who felt called to dedicate her life to God. Against the backdrop of WWII’s devastation, Lubich shared her passion first with a group of young women her age. Torno presents a forthright account of Chiara Lubich and her friends’ collective mystical experience and their resulting life, both profoundly spiritual and deeply human, which always aimed at fulfilling Jesus’ prayer “that all may be one.” By the 1960s, her inspiration had reached every corner of Italy and spread throughout Europe, behind the Iron Curtain, and around the world. Wherever she went - from the jungles of the Cameroon, to the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, to the skyscrapers of New York, to the Buddhist monasteries of Chiang Mai, Thailand - she shared her choice of God and the lifestyle it generated.This biography brings to life those people Chiara met along the way - from everyday folk to political leaders to popes - and describes how her charisma affected each one. Torno reveals the challenges that arose as a vast movement grew up around Lubich, as well as her joy at seeing authentic gospel life spread around the world. Together, they achieved what Chiara defined as “…the great attraction of modern times: to penetrate to the highest contemplation while mingling with everyone.” ungekürzt. Language: English.
