4.Death Without Weeping: The Violence of Everyday Life in Brazil (Centennial Book)Death Without Weeping: The Violence of Everyday Life in Brazil (Centennial Book)
from University of California Press
Price: $19.50

Customer Review:
It's hard to take this work seriously when it's so full of errors. The author became a self-proclaimed Brazilianist overnight and it shows. A good ethnography requires more than what went into this work, although it's an interesting topic and a great job of anthropological showboating.

It took me a bit longer to read than most books and there were days where I put the book down and several days passed without the desire to go back and read. But once I got about halfway through... more info
