The entire book could have been left to the first chapter- it’s redundant and anticlimactic, and most of all depressing... Yes, I know it’s supposed to be, but it seems heavily edited and as such, intentionally depressing as a way to make a point/overemphasize. I don’t mean this from a place of pretension, just practicality, but I would imagine people who don’t know the history of Brazil and it’s politics (especially the Kubitschek or Vargas eras) won’t fully grasp some of the significance of the political undertones of the text- it’s simply something that isn’t taugh much in history courses in the US, so it’s easy to overlook or miss if you haven’t been exposed to it before or just aren’t familiar with the leaders and the national consequences of their policies (which most average students/readers aren’t). This is used often as required text in World History or Latin America History courses a broad look at poverty in Brazil as a tangential, brief examination of the leadership in the first half of the century, but A LOT of further teaching and discussion is needed for the text’s meaning to reach most student or general consumer audiences... for the average consumer, just watch “City of God” ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Triumph of the Human Spirit *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 25, 2006* Caroline Maria de Jusus was born a[...] in poverty and went to only the second grade. She lived most of her adult life in poverty and her children were labeled [...]. She wanted to write and did. She became a writer of international reputation. Her book has been read by people around the world and in the United States. Her work stands with that of Victor Frankl in "MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING," and "BLACK ELK SPEAKS" an American Sioux, and with Frederick Douglass' NARRATIVE LIFE.CHILD OF THE DARK, is a must read for anyone who wants to understand and to challenge the values and standards of a civilization (ours) that degrades human life for fun and profit. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Devastating *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 30, 2013* I was looking for a history of Brazil, and this book gave a real insight into the favelas.and how the very poor lived. It clarified many issues for me about the country and the people. It also gives a picture of a person of great character and how her struggle and daily battle for existance elevated her and destroyied her. I highly recommend it for any who seek to understand the human condition at the most stressed level. A classic. Should be required reading. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/3925156-child-of-the-dark-the-diary-of-carolina-maria-de](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/3925156-child-of-the-dark-the-diary-of-carolina-maria-de) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
