Transforming Brazil
This book re-examines the relationship between development strategy and political regime in twentieth-century Brazil. The first part of the study examines the beginning in the 1920s and 1930s of the centralized regime and state-centered development model later challenged in the 1980s, taking into account the economic and political role of Sao Paulo relative to the federal government. The analysis provides a distinctive account of the regime ruling Brazil from the 1930s through the 1980s. The second part focuses on the process of economic and political change in the 1980s and 1990s, paying particular attention to the Cardoso administration.

The Devil and the Land of the Holy Cross
Originally published in Brazil as O Diabo e a Terra de Santa Cruz, this translation from the Portuguese analyzes the nature of popular religion and the ways it was transferred to the New World in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Using richly detailed transcripts from Inquisition trials, Mello e Souza reconstructs how Iberian, indigenous, and African beliefs fused to create a syncretic and magical religious culture in Brazil.

Her work shows how the In...

O Bolsa Família e a social-democracia
Um dos mais abrangentes programas dos anos de governo do Partido dos Trabalhadores (2003-2014), o Bolsa Família tornou-se, também, o mais comentado. A política social completou 10 anos em 2013 e é tema deste livro da Coleção FGV de Bolso. Nele, Débora Thomé, mestre em Ciência Política, narra o histórico e o processo de institucionalização do Bolsa Família no Brasil. Isso é feito tendo como contexto as origens das políticas social-democratas no país e no mundo. O livro é destinado àqueles que não apenas querem conhecer melhor a trajetória do programa, mas também aos que pretendem entender um pouco mais a participação do Estado na agenda social. A obra resgata o fundamental papel da política, trazendo para o debate diversos autores da literatura sobre a social-democracia e analisando como a política, por meio de diferentes preferências, transfigura-se na política pública.
