Liberdade (district Of São Paulo)
Liberdade (, ''liberty''; ) is the name of a district in the subprefecture of Sé, in São Paulo, Brazil. Liberdade is known as a Japantown, although the Japanese presence did not occur throughout the neighborhood, but in specific streets. Japanese immigrants started settling in the region in 1912, coming from the interior of São Paulo, as many did not adapt to working on coffee farms and started looking for better opportunities in the capital. Even today, the neighborhood is famous for its typically Japanese restaurants and shops, as well as its oriental elites and signs in Japanese. Currently, the majority of Japanese people and their descendants no longer live in the neighborhood, only maintaining their commercial establishments in the region. With the departure of the Japanese, the region began to receive many Chinese and Korean immigrants. History Liberdade was previously known as "Campo da Forca" (''Field of the Gallows'') until the late 19th century, and was an area rese ...

Os Subterraneos Da Liberdade
''The Bowels of Liberty'' ( Portuguese: ''Os Subterrâneos da Liberdade'') is a trilogy of Brazilian Modernist novels written by Jorge Amado in 1954. The trilogy comprises ''Bitter Times'' (''Os ásperos tempos''), ''Agony of Night'' (''Agonia da noite'') and ''Light at the End of the Tunnel'' (''A luz no túnel'').

In these three novels Amado focuses on São Paulo unlike most of his other works which were based in Bahia. The three novels were published in 1954. In the first five editions they were published as a single volume, but from the sixth edition they were released as three separate volumes, as originally planned by Amado.
