Acho curioso como quem não conhece o #Brasil ou extrapola alguma vizinhança como se representasse um país continental inteiro teima sobre a realidade dos brasileiros...

Friends, you should know that the average #Brazilian tends to refuse to learn anything other than their version of Portuguese. We are probably even more stubborn about this than the French are known to be.

Example: Lately, Brazilians have been watching only dubbed foreign movies, refusing to read subtitles that would allow them to listen to the original actors' voices, thus missing a very important aspect of their performances.

Radical Anthropology

A poet-anthropologist reflects on the resistance of rural women in the #Brazilian #Cerrado whose wisdom and knowledge help cultivate life amid the devastation of large-scale plantations.

'Pequi activates a sense of time, space, and materiality. It refers to a type of fruit that sprouts at a particular time of the year. Its trees grow exclusively in cerrado lands. Yet the smell spreads and touches people through cooking, and on the wind.'

"In what the group calls a “historic” move, a #Brazilian court has directed police to investigate an #Israeli soldier accused of war crimes in #Gaza, following a complaint by the Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF), the group announced on Friday, Anadolu reports.

A week ago, HRF alleged the suspect – said to be currently in #Brazil as a tourist – participated in demolishing civilian homes as part of #Israel’s genocidal campaign."
