Book, Zombie, haunts who?[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. Is Zombie a kind of smelly monster falling apart or a thinking warrior who lives in the gaps of the earth? Doubts about his body and his history bubble in the head of the boy Candê, who delves into the details of the Africanness he carries in his pores, hair and steps. Together with his Uncle Prabin, his Mother Manta and his Grandmother Cota Irene, among other unusual characters who frequent bars and crossroads in their peripheral neighborhood, in this book we collect fragments and corners of the history of Brazil, and open horizons about fatherhood and the contradictions between celebrating and mourn Death. “Zombie haunts who?” It is the path of Candê's learning about the struggles, toys and mysteries of quilombola ancestors, discovering ancient adventures that mix with the daily life of home and school, and the freedom of the street, among flying kites and blood-spattered street corners. Through his boyish eyes, Zumbi's mysteries, joys and fears emerge as he deals with questions that have challenged his people for centuries.
