Acerca de esta escucha
Why would a young woman abandon comforts in the United States and relocate to one of Brazil’s most dangerous favelas, notorious for its abject poverty and local gang factions?
It is amid the darkest corners of violent streets where she finds the ultimate feeling of warmth, community, and passionate love.
In Forbidden Brazil, we follow Michelle’s journey as she develops a profound understanding of humanity, while living in the sociopolitical impact of cyclical poverty. Without any previous knowledge about her estranged father’s native country, we watch her navigate and understand a foreign world where choice is driven by access to opportunity.
In this vivid and emotionally evocative collection of short stories, poems, and vignettes, de Abreu recounts her experiences, and details how Brazil’s history of racial discrimination has led to untenable economic disparity.
Forbidden Brazil explores treading fearlessly outside of defined comfort zones and challenges its listeners to question deeply held stereotypes that are nearly always left untested.

Lydia Quixano Pérez lives in the Mexican city of Acapulco. She runs a bookstore. She has a son, Luca, the love of her life, and a wonderful husband who is a journalist. And while there are cracks beginning to show in Acapulco because of the drug cartels, her life is, by and large, fairly comfortable. When Lydia’s husband’s tell-all profile of Javier, the jefe of the newest drug cartel that has gruesomely taken over the city, is published, none of their lives will ever be the same.

Nuri is a beekeeper and Afra, his wife, is an artist. Mornings, Nuri rises early to hear the call to prayer before driving to his hives in the countryside. On weekends, Afra sells her colorful landscape paintings at the open-air market. They live a simple life, rich in family and friends, in the hills of the beautiful Syrian city of Aleppo - until the unthinkable happens. When all they love is destroyed by war, Nuri knows they have no choice except to leave their home. But escaping Syria will be no easy task: Afra has lost her sight.

FBI Special Agent Matthew Roarke is closing in on a bust of a major criminal organization in San Francisco when he witnesses an undercover member of his team killed right in front of him on a busy street, an accident Roarke can't believe is coincidental. His suspicions put him on the trail of a mysterious young woman who appears to have been present at each scene of a years-long string of accidents and murders, and who may well be that most rare of killers: a female serial.

Fifteen years ago, five ordinary teenagers were singled out by a prophecy to take down an impossibly powerful entity wreaking havoc across North America. He was known as the Dark One, and his weapon of choice - catastrophic events known as Drains - leveled cities and claimed thousands of lives. Chosen Ones, as the teens were known, gave everything they had to defeat him. After the Dark One fell, the world went back to normal...for everyone but them. Of the five, Sloane has had the hardest time adjusting.

David Wojnarowicz's brief but eventful life was not easy. From a suburban adolescence marked by neglect, drugs, prostitution, and abuse to a squalid life on the streets of New York City, to fame - and infamy - as an activist and controversial visual artist whose work was lambasted in the halls of Congress, all before his early death from AIDS at age thirty-seven, Wojnarowicz seemed to be at war with a homophobic "establishment" and the world itself. Yet what emerged from the darkness was a truly extraordinary artist and human being.

We meet 16-year-old Vali on the eve of a raid of her small Vermont town that sends her, her mother, and her younger brother on the run from the Deportation Forces. In this near-future America, all citizens are chipped at birth and this chip is used to track their movements from bus stops to schools to grocery stores. Vali and her mother are undocumented, but at least Vali has a counterfeit chip—until it starts malfunctioning. Now on the run, Vali and her family are desperately trying to make it to California, a sanctuary state that is being walled off from the rest of the country.

By the time she was in her teens, Diamond had lived dozens of lives and lies, but as she grew older, love and trust turned to fear and violence, and her family—the only people she had in the world—began to unravel. She started to realize that her life itself might be a big con, and the people she loved, the most dangerous of all. With no way out and her identity burned so often that she had no proof she even existed, all that was left was a girl from nowhere.

A heartfelt story beautifully narrated
I just finished listening to this book, and it was so beautiful! The way the author used language to paint pictures and introduce characters made me feel like I was totally immersed in her experiences the entire time, especially since she narrated it herself. “Saudade” made me tear up - it was so sincere and raw and heartfelt and the perfect way to wrap up the story of her experience in Brazil. The way she wove historical and political information into her personal anecdotes was so captivating, and I felt like I was learning about the country through her eyes, which was such a special experience.
