A classic work of feminist scholarship, Ain't I a Woman has become a must-read for all those interested in the nature of black womanhood. Examining the impact of sexism on black women during slavery, the devaluation of black womanhood, black male sexism, racism among feminists, and the black woman's involvement with feminism, hooks attempts to move us beyond racist and sexist assumptions. The result is nothing short of groundbreaking, giving this book a critical place on every feminist scholar's bookshelf.

The collection “We, The Family” shows us images that reflect family moments in which complicity goes hand in hand with light, color, and framing. Whether they are family portraits or discreet observations of a newborn, the “lens” always gives us a story. Not necessarily a beautiful one, a bedtime story or a fairy tale, but certainly a story that was lived, in which every moment is a unique moment that deserves
to be eternalized. The collection offers, through the eyes of different carefully selected photographers, different approaches to the theme “family”, centered mainly on childhood, both in places of daily living and in unexpected incursions into places of regular or occasional passage.

The collection “No Color? No Fun” is a tribute to contemporary illustration with a special focus on the use of color as a key element of the illustrated object. Color, for these artists, is not merely a secondary observer, but rather a leading actor that is strongly present. It partners
with the traits that create characters, frames, and landscapes. Color does not exist in a disguised way, and it helps to create differentiation, to convey fun and drama. High contrast and reduced palettes are not impediments to showing personality and uniqueness. We hope that you find on this set of pages and authors the values that we consider fundamental for a good illustration: technique, surprise, and beauty.

Send me Letters is a photographic record of the beauty found on the doors of houses still displaying letterboxes embossed with the word "CARTAS", awakening in us reminiscenses of a time gone by - when feelings wew conveyed on paper. Of a time when each word had its own particular meaning and written letters were valuable simply by existing.

Language is a constantly changing process. For some reason, because of stubbornness, because we are boring, squares or simply because of the original ways we were shocked by the new, we are naturally averse to changes in the dictionary. Language changes, oral and written, and with it words. It hurts, but there's no harm in it. We need new words for new maladies, mundane needs and tasks that are complicated to explain. It was with this in mind that Luís Leal Miranda created the New Words New, a Tumblr / Facebook page, which was growing with these new words and this year gave shape to the "Dictionary of the Portuguese Language".

Luís Leal Miranda did not stop there and created a publishing house along with La Lavandaria. Livraria Plutão was born, with two books that provide more solutions for words, their meanings, letters and their symbology. They are almost objects of art, the work of Luís and Lavandaria goes beyond the mere resort of entertainment, fun or simple wordplay. Both in "New Contemporary Portuguese Alphabet" and "The Secret Alphabet Letters" there are solutions to problems, resources to think about what we say, think and see. And it's simple, like the best good things. And it is good to realize what a "lake of earth" is.
