A razão indignada reúne 10 textos de historiadores sobre Leonel Brizola e aborda duas fases de sua trajetóriapolítica. A primeira, compreendida entre 1961 e 1964, se refere ao momento em que Brizola é elevado à prestigiosa posição de liderança das esquerdas, como governador do Rio Grande do Sul e deputado federal. A outra se delineia a partir do início dos anos 1980, quando Brizola refunda o projetotrabalhista e assume o governo do Rio de Janeiro ‒ tendo que lidar com críticas, tanto das esquerdas revolucionárias como de setores conservadores. Around 1900, African Caribbean women began migrating in increasing numbers to the United States, settling mainly in clusters of compatriots in African American communities of New York City.
