Paperback. Condition: New. Here at last is an exciting new edition of the Brazilian modernist epic Macunaíma: The Hero with No Character, by Mário de Andrade. This landmark 1928 novel follows the adventures of the shapeshifting Macunaíma and his brothers as they leave their Amazon home for a whirlwind tour of Brazil, cramming four centuries and a continental expanse into a single mythic plane. Having lost a magic amulet, the hero and his brothers journey to São Paulo to retrieve the talisman that has fallen into the hands of an Italo-Peruvian captain of industry (who is also a cannibal giant). Written over six delirious days-the fruit of years of study-Macunaíma magically synthesizes dialect, folklore, anthropology, mythology, flora, fauna, and pop culture to examine Brazilian identity. This brilliant translation by Katrina Dodson has been many years in the making and includes an extensive section of notes, providing essential context for this magnificent work.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Amilcar Cabral: an agronomist, a poet, a politician, a leader of his party, a life that led a revolution to victory against colonialism. Known to many as "The Engineer," Amilcar Cabral was dedicated to putting study to action, demonstrating a lifelong commitment to being with and learning from the people. From organizing in his youth, to examining the struggles in Vietnam and writing on culture, these experiences armed Cabral with the skills and vision necessary to build up the revolutionary party that would free Guinea and Cabo Verde. Standing at the helm of African resistance to Portuguese colonialism, his life sadly cut short by colonial forces, Cabral leaves behind a legacy of political clarity and determination, offering us all a trove of experiences and a model of commitment to the liberation of working people. Mario de Andrade-a founding member of the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola, as well as Cabral's long-time friend and comrade-follows the arc of Cabral's political thought as it transforms over the course of his life. Presented in its first ever English translation, Amilcar Cabral: A Political Life in Motion is a portrait of a keen and agile leader who knew that to lead the people was to know them. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
