It's like reading The Diary of Ann Frank. You can hardly believe that what you are reading actually takes place in this world. In Canada we are so far removed from the destitute conditions that surround so many people that it's really hard to imagine the life of those people. Child of the Dark is merely the account of the life of Carolina Maria de Jesus in the slums of Brazil. It talks about her struggle every single day to collect enough paper to sell so that she can manage to feed herself and her three children. This novel astounds me because I cannot even imagine living like Carolina does. It moves me to want to do something to help change the world.

This probably won't be as good but I'll take one for the team and at least try.
My life is so hard. So I read this book for my Contemporary World History class while we were on the discussion of world poverty. My professor spent a good chunk of his life living in Colombia (different from Brazil obviously but still tackling similar social issues), and although he did not see the same slum-like Sao Paolo favelas pictured in de Jesus's diary, he saw the type of poverty that we don't really see in America. This book surprised me, because as students, we're used to being handed these memoirs and documents from benevolent, optimistic, spiritual sufferers of poverty whose brightness and warmth make us sympathize with their plight. To bring change, editors and publishers find diamonds in the penny piles and throw them at us to garner sympathy. People aren't perfect.
Angry, bitter, nasty people still need food, water, and shelter; they don't deserve to live in squalor. And this is why I appreciate Carolina Maria de Jesus' perspective. She lives in a shack with her three children (all from different fathers), gathers paper scraps on the street to sell for a living, and just tries to get by, but she's intensely unlikeable.
She's self-righteous, judgmental, hypocritical, and bitter-she condemns the favelas and curses the dirty people who live there, yet she's in the same exact situation. When people piss her off, she threatens to put their names in her book, which puts the reader in a weird position-are we just reading a big tattle-fest? Her perspective is unreliable at best-she insists grown men and women are rude to her children for no reason ('a man of 30 fighting a boy of 10,' or whatever the ages are, comes up a lot), but with the way Carolina acts with the people she lives near, I can understand why these hungry and angry people hate her.
But this doesn't make me any less sympathetic. Carolina is virtually starving throughout most of her recordings-if she doesn't make the money, they don't eat, end of story. She's wasting away in some parts. This lends such an understanding of her cagey, crude behavior-who wouldn't hate the entire world in her situation? This was a hard one to get through, but it's a damn important book. I know it is a classic, and I feel for her plight-but this was tough to get through.
I was amazed at how well versed she was for having had only a 2nd grade education. The repetitive diary entries were just agonizing to get through however. Read this for a school book list recommendation-for that purpose I would rate the book higher than 2 stars.

For use in the classroom-she describes the life of the poor in Brazil beautifully. It is a raw account, and one that is probably rare to find in written form. Great piece of history. I was devastated to research that her life after the book did not end well.
I asked many of the same questions that critics did-why not demand money from the fathers of her children? Would she have run the risk of losing her children if she had? Why refuse money when men offered? Was her pride her downfall in the end?
As savvy as she seemed to be when it came to survival, did she lack the business sense to continue to profit from her book sale? Yet the feminist part of me was proud of her for not lowering her standards and doing everything she could to provide for her children when so many others in the slums starved to death.
Can we really ever move away from our past-or is it always a part of us? In the end, do we die into what we were born? Despite what Robert Levine tries to argue in the afterword, this book is primarily important as a historical document, not as a piece of literature. What's remarkable is who wrote it - a black, slum-dwelling woman - and not how she wrote it.

In other words, what impresses is not the skill with which it was written, but that it was ever written at all.
Carolina Maria de Jesus was a singular woman; only such a woman could have possessed the determination and audacity (and yes, the arrogance) to continue her passion amidst such deprivation and squalor. We are fortunate that she did, so that we have a better idea of favela life, but reading it still feels somehow voyeuristic, especially given that nothing ever improved as a result of her efforts.
She's not exactly likable either, and it's a strange conundrum as a moral reader - writing such a record in these conditions requires a person to truly believe themselves superior to their surroundings. At the same time, however, that sense of superiority is not only off-putting but at times unjustified, given her behavior with her children, lovers and neighbors. It does drive home the corrupting influence of the favela upon all its inhabitants, but it's also important to realize that our narrator is virtually as unreliable as all of her condemned neighbors.
It also raises an interesting moral question, because in these circumstances of slum-dwelling we say that we want more of the people to behave like Carolina, to raise themselves out of it through an inner drive and self-discipline. But there's also something contemptible about her attitude toward her fellow favelados. She lacks almost any compassion for them and is constantly judging and insulting them. There's a lack of any semblance of camaraderie. There's also the issue of her relative luck in being able to rise out of it. Being 'discovered' by a journalist was about as likely as winning the lottery, so it's hard to argue that her rigorous moral character was her salvation. What if it had never happened?
She admits herself she probably would have died soon, would have maybe even turned to alcohol. Then she would have been no better than any of her neighbors, even while still looking down on them. I guess the real point is the loathing that such squalor arouses, not just for those around you but also, eventually, for yourself. Such loathing precludes any solidarity with your neighbor and thus any way of raising each other out of misery. Of course that is a larger point of which Carolina was probably unaware, but that we can arrive at it through her writing is a further demonstration of this book's importance.
It's a quick read, if repetitive and eventually numbing, and I'm glad to have read it. I don't know that I would necessarily recommend it to others - if you're interested in an introduction to Brazilian slums, I think the movie 'City of God' (Cidade de Deus) is a more compelling portrayal. Ultimately they're probably good to experience in tandem, so that you can see where the favelas began and what they have since become. This is the MOST Gut wrenching thing I have ever read in my life.
I have studied quite a few years about Brazilian culture and to be more specific I focused on studying the people from the favelas. Not entirely sure why I have always been so intrigued by this subject, I think because I wish I could help them all find a better way to live. And their stories of survival and struggling help put my own life into perspective and teach me to be more humble.

I think this is why I plan to continuously revisit this subject in the future, I need to remind myself that I am privileged and I must always remain humble, and seek ways to help the people who are in need, because it seems to make my heart feel better when I do, even if I am a misanthrope. Is more then a woman. She is a HERO, a role model, the epitome of a beautiful soul, courageous, strong, a bright fire from a cold dark place that should live on forever by being shared, and remembered for her strength.

This book was very difficult to read because of the harsh living conditions that Carolina describes but I'm still very glad that I read it and I was deeply moved that in the midst of all the squalor and filth she is still able to write not only these diaries but also poetry and some novels.
It also made me appreciate how lucky I am and to realize that even though I may feel down once in a while there are people who fight a daily battle just to survive in this world. The daily struggles of an impossibly poor woman living in a shanty-town within a Brazilian city. It's somewhat grueling to read - day after day she goes out and looks for paper and trash to sell, raids trash cans for food, wonders what she is going to feed her children. Must have been even more grueling to live. The remarkable thing is that Carolina had only 2 years of education as a child, and retained a thirst to read and write her entire life. The afterword to this book as interesting as the The daily struggles of an impossibly poor woman living in a shanty-town within a Brazilian city.

I give the book 3 stars for the reading experience, but for content and consciousness-raising it gets 5+.

I did not like this book at all. I feel I was being generous by giving it 2 stars. OK, here' goes - I did not expect a great work of literature, I knew this was written by a woman living in the slums, that is not what bothered me about this book. I didn't mind the simpleness of it. It was very very (let me repeat - very) repetitive. Half way through the book I wanted to shout 'Yes, I get it!

But I don't need to read the same thing 20,000 times.' Never does she take blame for her predicament. She started 'making love' with strangers when she was a teenager! She had 3 children, she choose to never marry. Take some blame!!! She never says 'maybe I shouldn't have done that, or - I have made mistakes, or - I would do it differently.' Everything is the fault of the Government or the politicians.
I know that back in the 50's the government in Brazil basically sucked! But she is constantly expecting the government to walk in and 'fix' everything.
Quote - 'The Politicians must give us things. That includes me too, because I am also a flavelado (one who lives in the slums)' She says things like this through the whole book.
She keeps complaining how dirty she is and how dirty her children and shack are. Quote - 'If I'm dirty, its because I don't have soap' She say things like 'I didn't wash today because I didn't have money for soap.' Well I know soap does help, but seriously.
If I didn't have soap, I would do the best I could with water and scrubbing! I don't think I would just go dirty complaining that I couldn't buy soap. And they did have water, they had to walk to get it, but it was there.
The whole book seemed like a long tattletale session to me. This person hit that person. This 40 yr old is fighting with a 5 yr old boy. She threw stones at him, He spit on her. She also tells ( almost sounds like bragging) of all the men that are lining up around the block to sleep with her and all the men that want to live with her. But she turns them away!
Quote - 'There is a Portuguese here who wants to live with me. But I don't need a man.' She says things like this several times. Then later about a different person she says, 'I slept with him. And the night was delicious.'
I can't seem to keep her love life straight because there are no details!!! Her children are always getting in trouble, but she gives no details of anything. Just that she believes they didn't do it. Or gives the excuse that are poor, or that they are young. She doesn't tell of her love for her children at all. She does say that she doesn't like leaving them alone, but that's as close as she gets.

She doesn't give any details of her life, or her children, she doesn't describe anything. She doesn't tell of everyday life. Or what it is like in Brazil. It is just who did what to whom. Who is sleeping with whom.
And that the politicians do nothing. I need this and I need that. This book could have been at least interesting - if she had included any details or descriptions of anything. To me, very disappointing book! This book got real mixed reviews, it got some 1's and 2's but also got some 5 stars! I just don't see it. This was an honest, jarring, and compelling read overall.

There are some unfortunate aspects of this edition, though. Clair's Translator's Note speaking of a woman nearly ridden out of slums on a rail when the book successfully comes out.
However, photographs in the book show an orderly egree with nothing more threatening than standoffish spectators. The Note also says Carolina was pushing her novels and declairing here memoirs were a diary never meant for any eyes than her own. However, the memoir's own content repeats her assertion that the work is contrived for publication in order to help facilitate some sharing of the truth.
At least part of this may be due to the fact that the content of the book, covering the late '50s, post-dates the Brazilian newspaper excerpt and book arrival. Part of this bookk actually records her book being published and the reaction to it. Finally, a little more whitespace would have made reading easier. The short entries for a single day were typeset without even a line break between them, although they are such obvious chunks to present with some separation. Felt that de Jesus’ diary was accurate for the time, though a bit heavy handed with criticism for her neighbors and a bit of a holier than thou attitude.
For example, she complains about her neighbors who have succumbed to prostitution, but she has a gentleman or two that visit her for sex and bring money so I am not sure how that differs? The fact that she doesn’t peddle on street corners is simply a matter of location. But I suppose we are all the heroes of our own diaries.

I also feel that this work isn’t more widely known because after de Jesus managed to leave the favela, she ended up there again after the money was gone. She lived a sad life. People interested in non fiction poverty books, books about Brazil, or literature by women of African descent would enjoy this book.
I have a hard time picturing other people really being enthused about it. For a full review visit.

I had to read this for a Latin American history class to get an understanding of life in a favela. While de Jesus definitely showed how bad the conditions were and how favelados are basically a forgotten people, I didn't much care for Carolina's haughty, self-righteous tone.

Not for Carolina. She denigrated the favelados, even when she at some points in the book understood that poverty and the conditions in which they lived caused them to act in an 'uncivilized' manner, for lack of a better word.
She has zero sympathy for them and yet asks us to have compassion for her. Portraying the favelados negatively - or at least with not an ounce of pity - does not help to encourage equality. This is something she clearly doesn't get. I would not recommend this book because although it is illustrative of favela life, Carolina Maria de Jesus is frankly sickening.

It is not a story. It is her life, and it is real.

Both these men were not poor in their own societies, but went through the traumas of war and revolution before escaping to the calmer West. The adventures of Tete-Michel Kpomassie, a Togolese villager who made it all the way to Greenland, provide another type of narrative. CHILD OF THE DARK, a book written by a Brazilian woman from the very bottom of society, is yet another kind of these rare narrations, and moreover, was one of the first to appear. Carolina Maria de Jesus, a black mother of three with a second grade education, abandoned by all the men in her life, raised her kids in one of the worst slums of Sao Paulo. She picked trash and paper to sell to junk dealers, cadged bones from a slaughterhouse to make soup, collected squashed tomatoes from behind a cannery, and scavenged thrown away food items from the garbage of richer streets. Writing a diary every day helped her to persevere through years of hardship, to escape for a few moments, her hunger, misery, and constant worry. Through a chance encounter with a journalist, her diary was eventually published and she became a celebrity in Brazil back in the early 1960s.
She left her hand-to-mouth existence and moved out of the favela forever. Her book is the only one of its kind from that time. She had a hard time coping with her new life, though, and died in poverty in 1977. It's not all sweetness and light, not all a goody goody, morally uplifting Cinderella tale. She sometimes beat her kids, she slept with various suitors, abused 'substances', and reported to the police on her neighbors (not that they didn't deserve it).

She also has bad things to say about Portuguese, gypsies, and Jews. But OK, most all this is a story of human survival. De Jesus eked out a meagre living amidst squalor and constant quarreling, drunkenness and the sexual antics of the poorest members of Brazilian society, yet she bore up, kept writing, and made many observations about the society that produced such misery, the politicians who came around to ask for votes and then never appeared again. Brazil has no doubt changed in the last half century, but I believe this most human life story is still extremely relevant, both for Brazil and the rest of the world.
