Bringing together essays by E. Bradford Burns, Jorge Calmon, Eliane Nunes, Christianne Vasconcellos, Jeferson Bacelar, Carlos Dória and Sabrina Gledhill, this book addresses and seeks to do justice to various aspects of the work and pioneering spirit of Manuel Querino, the first historian of Bahian art and scholar of Bahian cuisine and the first Afro-Brazilian to confront scientific racism in his country with scholarly works of his own.
Published in English and Portuguese, it is part of a long campaign to honour the memory of this “illustrious unknown” who used pen and ink to combat the prejudices of his time.
The English edition is available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover and as an e-book.

Random acts of Islamic terrorism have now captured the world’s attention.
“The Killing Rituals”, Amazon’s # 1 bestselling political thriller authored by a former Israeli Secret Service agent, will take you to where it all started.
Back in the 80’s, in*******al romance was perceived as science fiction, international terrorism was a prelude to Al-Kaeada and ISIS, setting the stage for what has become the 21ST Century’s violent nightmare; and the two Superpowers were still engaged in the Cold War Tango. Based on true events this authentic political thriller provides you with a realistic rendition of the people and strategies deployed to combat global terrorism - and the politics that drive both.
A Palestinian nationalist fighting for his cause. A female African American CIA Agent who falls for her Israeli MOSSAD partner. An ex-KGB Officer pulling strings behind a Middle Eastern terrorist organization. A Scottish Coast Guard Captain manipulated by a bunch of seemingly-amateur sea-faring women he saves from a storm. And an FBI Agent duped by the defector he’s assigned to guard.
These are but some of the characters you’ll get to know when you read “The Killing Rituals”, the season’s bestselling surprise hit. Written by a former Israeli Secret Service agent, this suspenseful political thriller rocks you from one corner of the world to another while painting a realistic canvas of the war between Western democracies and the complex web of international terrorism.
Dear friends, “The Killing Rituals” reached # 1 Amazon Best Seller status in the “Espionage Thrillers” category – as well as # 1 in the “Mystery, Thrillers & Suspense” and the “Action & Adventure” categories! It is available in Paperback and Kindle editions.
