Previous slideNext slide

Based on the author’s master’s dissertation from the University of Cambridge (UK), Memórias Entrelaçadas – do trauma ao empoderamento tells the life stories of domestic worker mothers and school aides and their daughters, the first generation in their families to obtain a university degree in Brazil.

The book investigates the role of mothers in their daughters' journey to university and introduces the concept of intertwined memories to demonstrate how the mechanism of memory transmission between mothers and daughters led to mutual support, transforming trauma into empowerment.
