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.
O ponto a que chegamos: duzentos anos de atraso educacional e seu impacto nas políticas do presente
O atual quadro insatisfatório da educação brasileira é resultado de um longo histórico de descaso e de decisões equivocadas, que cobram um preço alto ao país até hoje.

Também analisa alguns tópicos do atual debate público à luz desse passado, tais como o financiamento, a cultura da repetência, a baixa aprendizagem e as imensas desigualdades que continuam marcando a educação brasileira.

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. Focusing on sorcery, the author argues that European traditions of witchcraft combined with practices of Indians and African slaves to form a uniquely Brazilian set of beliefs that became central to the lives of the people in the colony. Her work shows how the In...
