A história do célebre ancião que foi alvo de uma “aposta” entre Deus e o príncipe das trevas tem sido ao longo dos anos fonte de especulações, controvérsias, esperança e fé. Mas pouco é conhecido sobre a história das filhas geradas após seu infortúnio e que desperta curiosidade pela menção honrosa de seus nomes. Estas mulheres serão os fios condutores deste romance, e se verão às voltas com conflitos, alegrias, tristezas, aventuras e velhos inimigos. Porém, desta vez, a moldura é “o último estado de Jó”, no qual o ancião é restaurado duplamente após suas aflições. No desenrolar deste enredo muitas das pérolas do livro de Jó serão resgatadas através das circunstâncias vividas por cada uma delas, costurando-as as experiências de seu pai. Yemimah enfrenta antigos inimigos de Jó, e através deles entende preceitos imemoriais, contempla novos horizontes e guia o pai a novos concertos. A sensível e sábia Ketzia empreenderá uma jornada ao lado do seu grande amor, espalhando os frutos resultantes de sua história ao longo de seu caminho. E a bela e vaidosa Kerenhapuk será arremessada em uma aventura que irá despertá-la para um novo nível de espiritualidade, que nem mesmo o Justo havia sido capaz de fazê-la divisar. Cada uma delas descobrirá através de suas experiências o significado do que o velho profeta afirmou e que ecoa através do tempo: “eu Te conhecia de ouvir falar, mas agora os meus olhos Te vêem.” Assim abençoou o SENHOR o último estado de Jó,mais do que o primeiro. ...e teve três filhas. E chamou o nome da primeira Yemimah, o nome da segunda Ketzia, e o da terceira Kerenhapuk. E seu pai lhes deu herança entre seus irmãos. Jó 42:12-15

Despite the recent explosion of scholarly interest in “star studies,” Brazilian film has received comparatively little attention. As this volume demonstrates, however, the richness of Brazilian stardom extends well beyond the ubiquitous Carmen Miranda. Among the studies assembled here are fascinating explorations of figures such as Eliane Lage (the star attraction of São Paulo’s Vera Cruz studios), cult horror movie auteur Coffin Joe, and Lázaro Ramos, the most visible Afro-Brazilian actor today. At the same time, contributors interrogate the inner workings of the star system in Brazil, from the pioneering efforts of silent-era actresses to the recent advent of the non-professional movie star.

The Heroine’s Journey describes contemporary woman’s search for wholeness in a society where she has been defined according to masculine values. Drawing on cultural myths and fairy tales, ancient symbols and goddesses, and the dreams of contemporary women, Murdock illustrates the need for—and the reality of—feminine values in Western culture. This special anniversary edition, with a new foreword by Christine Downing and preface by the author, illuminates that this need is just as relevant today as it was when the book was originally published thirty years ago.

Eighteen-year-old Daunis Fontaine has never quite fit in, both in her hometown and on the nearby Ojibwe reservation. She dreams of a fresh start at college, but when family tragedy strikes, Daunis puts her future on hold to look after her fragile mother. The only bright spot is meeting Jamie, the charming new recruit on her brother Levi’s hockey team. Yet even as Daunis falls for Jamie, she senses the dashing hockey star is hiding something. Everything comes to light when Daunis witnesses a shocking murder, thrusting her into an FBI investigation of a lethal new drug. Reluctantly, Daunis agrees to go undercover, drawing on her knowledge of chemistry and Ojibwe traditional medicine to track down the source. But the search for truth is more complicated than Daunis imagined, exposing secrets and old scars. At the same time, she grows concerned with an investigation that seems more focused on punishing the offenders than protecting the victims. Now, as the deceptions—and deaths—keep growing, Daunis must learn what it means to be a strong Anishinaabe kwe (Ojibwe woman) and how far she’ll go for her community, even if it tears apart the only world she’s ever known.

Black Atlantic Religion illuminates the mutual transformation of African and African-American cultures, highlighting the example of the Afro-Brazilian Candomblé religion. This book contests both the recent conviction that transnationalism is new and the long-held supposition that African culture endures in the Americas only among the poorest and most isolated of black populations. In fact, African culture in the Americas has most flourished among the urban and the prosperous, who, through travel, commerce, and literacy, were well exposed to other cultures. Their embrace of African religion is less a "survival," or inert residue of the African past, than a strategic choice in their circum-Atlantic, multicultural world. With counterparts in Nigeria, the Benin Republic, Haiti, Cuba, Trinidad, and the United States, Candomblé is a religion of spirit possession, dance, healing, and blood sacrifice. Most surprising to those who imagine Candomblé and other such religions as the products of anonymous folk memory is the fact that some of this religion's towering leaders and priests have been either well-traveled writers or merchants, whose stake in African-inspired religion was as much commercial as spiritual. Morever, they influenced Africa as much as Brazil. Thus, for centuries, Candomblé and its counterparts have stood at the crux of enormous transnational forces. Vividly combining history and ethnography, Matory spotlights a so-called "folk" religion defined not by its closure or internal homogeneity but by the diversity of its connections to classes and places often far away. Black Atlantic Religion sets a new standard for the study of transnationalism in its subaltern and often ancient manifestations.
