Spotlight

Books

“Such a necessary book should be read by those interested in understanding the souls of racism, which makes language to be a tool of power that takes to the animalized subjectivities to be incorporated as servant life to capitalism meanwhile it legitimises and endorses privilege settings to white identities”.

Leandro Missiato

“This novel regards a police-based plot in a world with no blacks, only a red river rising everyday”.

André Santana
