In August 1960 the publication of "Quarto de Despejo" ("Child of the Dark") created a sensation in Brazil - and in the rest of the world - as it appeared in translations in fourteen languages. That diary of a poor black woman from a favela on the outskirts of Sao Paulo became the best-selling book in Brazilian history. In it, Carolina Maria de Jesus chronicled her life as an unemployed, single parent of three children, eking out a precarious existence selling scrap paper and other detritus found in the city streets. She described how she wrote at night on the scavenged scraps. Her remarkable diary - angry, proud, wretched, and hopeful - was found and published by an enterprising journalist. The book's success permitted Carolina to leave her flimsy shack in triumph and move into the cinder-block house of her fantasy."I'm Going to Have a Little House" is de Jesus' second diary. It covers the first year following her rise to fame. In it she recounts her struggles with celebrity, middle-class expectations, and the racial and social tensions her success had exacerbated. This work, never previously translated into English, tells the rest of the story - the grim truth that favela life doesn't prepare one for middle-class 'respectability' and that the fall back into poverty is as easy as the struggle to escape it is difficult. Carolina Maria de Jesus died in 1977, forgotten and in poverty. Robert M Levine is a professor of history and Director of Latin American Studies at the University of Miami. He is the author of "The Life and Death of Carolina Maria de Jesus". Melvin S. Arrington, Jr. is a professor of modern languages at the University of Mississippi.
