Comer o pão, viver a cidade
Até o final do século XIX o pão não fazia exatamente parte do cotidiano da cidade de São Paulo. A farinha de trigo era escassa e rara e a primeira refeição do dia da maioria da população não incluía pão feito com trigo e sim bolos, farinhas e biscoitos de outras farinhas e massas. O aumento da produção de trigo no norte dos Estados Unidos e na Rússia em meados do século XIX, com novas técnicas de plantio e de colheita, possibilitou um significativo aumento da produção e da exportação mundial. Aliado a isso, o número de imigrantes europeus, em especial os italianos, também aumentou significativamente no Estado de São Paulo, o que causa um significativo aumento da deman...
Ruas Paulistanas
O que um texto sobre uma rua pode revelar sobre as dinâmicas mais gerais da cidade? O que a escolha da rua como objeto de análise pode contribuir para o campo da história urbana? Quais novos problemas e tensões surgem quando se privilegia a rua enquanto escala de observação? A partir de inquietações desse tipo, um grupo de pesquisadores se reuniu e elaborou este livro abordando aspectos da modernização de São Paulo por meio da recuperação das trajetórias de algumas de suas ruas. Avenida Angélica, Rua José Paulino, Rua Augusta, Rua Teodoro Sampaio, Avenida Celso Garcia, Avenida do Anastácio, e outras – não nomeadas, mas nem por isso menos presentes –, possuem suas histó...
Uma cidade na transição
Os anos entre 1870 e1913 marcam um momento importante na história de Santos. É a época da ferrovia, da expansão portuária, do desenvolvimento comercial, de problemas sanitários e de transformações sociais. É esse quadro que Ana Lúcia retrata em seu livro. Mas não apenas isso. Examinando o caso de Santos, ela descreve, na verdade, as transformações urbanas que surgem com a crise da escravidão.

Company Towns in the Americas
Company towns were the spatial manifestation of a social ideology and an economic rationale. The contributors to this volume show how national politics, social protest, and local culture transformed those founding ideologies by examining the histories of company towns in six countries: Argentina (Firmat), Brazil (Volta Redonda, Santos, Fordlândia), Canada (Sudbury), Chile (El Salvador), Mexico (Santa Rosa, Río Blanco), and the United States (Anaconda, Kellogg, and Sunflower City). Company towns across the Americas played similar economic and social roles. They advanced the frontiers of industrial capitalism and became powerful symbols of modernity. They expanded national economies by suppo...
