Valeu, gostei muito da conversa!

Thrilled to be in such excellent company as a finalist for the California Book Award!

I reviewed @alexcuadros.bsky.social's anti-Rousseau portrait of how one indigenous group entered the illegal diamond trade (for better or worse).

I love that The Guardian found a Brazilian-Brit to narrate this excerpt of my book www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2...

Love to see it! Hope you enjoy!

The rampant deforestation of the Amazon has the potential to be one of the most devastating policy failures in human history. In his new book, alexcuadros.bsky.social enriches our understanding of why it’s so hard to arrest the damage. My review for @newrepublic.com t.co/GTzUCHAXXE

Valeu Scott!

Excellent review of a brilliant new book by @alexcuadros.bsky.social on the improbable story of Brazil's Cinta Larga people on whose lands some of the world's richest deposits of diamonds were discovered in the mid-20th century. Gripping read.

valeu!

1000 gracias!

Valeu!!

Thanks!!

Massacre in the jungle: how an Indigenous man was made the public face of an atrocity The long read: In 2004, 29 people were killed by members of the Cinta Larga tribe in Brazil’s Amazon basin. The story shocked the country – but the truth of what happened is still being fought over

Half way through @alexcuadros.bsky.social's forthcoming When We Sold God’s Eye. It is very good indeed, a picture of Brazil really, all the crime and beauty, but through indigenous eyes. A taster here: www.theguardian.com/news/2024/no...
