Brazilian Geography
This book presents the history and theoretical contributions of Brazilian geography since the late twentieth century and shows how this sphere of knowledge has been organically integrated with social and territorial issues and with social movements. The relationship between the subjects and objects of research in Brazilian geography has been centred on the understanding and transformation of realities marked by injustice and inequality. Against this backdrop, the geography of the country has developed by integrating, relating to, and forming part of those realities as it headed out into the streets. Brazilian geography continues to hold theoretical debate in high regard as a result of the influence of critical theory. This book thus covers the theoretical approaches in Brazilian geography, its different lines of research, and above all its character as manifested in culture and society.
Ideologias geográficas: Espaço, cultura e política no Brasil
Todos sabemos que as formas espaciais são produtos históricos. O espaço produzido é um resultado da ação humana sobre a superfície terrestre que expressa, a cada momento, as relações sociais que lhe deram origem. Nesse sentido, a paisagem manifestaahistoricidade do desenvolvimento humano, associando objetos fixados ao solo e geneticamente datados. Tais objetos exprimem a espacialidade de organizações sócio-políticas específicas e se articulam sempre numa funcionalidade do presente. Aparentemente formas inertes, possuem, contudo, o poder de influir na dinâmica da sociedade.
For a New Geography
For the first time in English, a key work of critical geography Originally published in 1978 in Portuguese, For a New Geography is a milestone in the history of critical geography, and it marked the emergence of its author, Milton Santos (1926–2001), as a major interpreter of geographical thought, a prominent Afro-Brazilian public intellectual, and one of the foremost global theorists of space. Published in the midst of a crisis in geographical thought, For a New Geography functioned as a bridge between geography’s past and its future.

Migration and the Making of Industrial São Paulo
Published in 2008 and winner of the 2011 Thomas E. Skidmore Prize, Paulo Fontes's Migration and the Making of Industrial São Paulo is a detailed social history of São Paulo's extraordinary urban and industrial expansion. Fontes focuses on those migrants who settled in the suburb of São Miguel Paulista, which grew from 7,000 residents in the 1940s to over 140,000 two decades later. Reconstructing these migrants' everyday lives within a broad social context, Fontes examines the economic conditions that prompted their migration, their creation of an integrated identity and community, and their efforts to gain worker rights. Fontes challenges the stereotypes of Northeasterners as culturally backward, uneducated, violent, and unreliable, instead seeing them as a resourceful population with considerable social and political resolve. Fontes's investigations into Northeastern life in São Miguel Paulista yield a fresh understanding of São Paulo's incredible and difficult growth while outlining how a marginalized population exercised its political agency.

Geografia e fenomenologia
A pesquisa busca pensar o Espaço e o Lugar a partir das literaturas dos filósofos Martin Heidegger e Merleau-Ponty por seus trabalhos realizados mediante a profunda e inesgotável compreensão do Espaço e do Lugar, destacando suas obras Ser e Tempo e Fenomenologia da Percepção, respectivamente, apropriando-se especialmente da significação existencial – o Dasein –, traduzida como "ser-aí", de Heidegger, e a noção de experiência, espacialidade e motricidade do corpo de Merleau-Ponty.
