To be anti-racist is to rethink a series of ideas we were given by our society and that have passed through generations. It’s hard work and it’s to be done on a daily basis. The clarity of examples given, although sometimes US American focused, allow for a broaden interpretation of situations from our own experiences. It’s been an eye opening experience.

Ah, Dona Plácida!

The old flame Brás Cubas and Virgilia are back in the house. And the terrible, vicious, quite unbearable and intensely insane love that got them back after two or three waltzes is about to change it all. Oh, I love this book!

Reading this for the fourth time, I think, with the difference that’s the first one I read it in English. There are some distinct phrases and some disappointing parts (I guess the Portuguese version has way more passion), but, it’s been interesting to imagine how other people might interpret this classic, without the context of its language. Let’s keep going.
