Architecture and Extraction in the Atlantic World, 1500-1850
This edited collection examines the development of Atlantic World architecture after 1492. In particular, the chapters explore the landscapes of extraction as material networks that brought people, space, and labor together in harvesting raw materials, cultivating agriculture for export-level profits, and circulating raw materials and commodities in Europe, Africa, and the Americas from 1500 to 1850. This book argues that histories of extraction remain incomplete without careful attention to the social, physical, and mental nexus that is architecture, just as architecture’s development in the last 500 years cannot be adequately comprehended without attention to empire, extraction, colonial...

Tōhoku Unbounded: Regional Identity and the Mobile Subject in Prewar Japan
In 1870, a prominent samurai from Tōhoku sells his castle to become an agrarian colonist in Hokkaidō. Decades later, a man also from northeast Japan stows away on a boat to Canada and establishes a salmon roe business. By 1930, an investigative journalist travels to Brazil and writes a book that wins the first-ever Akutagawa Prize. In the 1940s, residents from the same area proclaim that they should lead Imperial Japan in colonizing all of Asia. Across decades and oceans, these fractured narratives seem disparate, but show how mobility is central to the history of Japan’s Tōhoku region, a place often stereotyped as a site of rural stasis and traditional immobility, thereby collapsing boundaries between local, national, and global studies of Japan. This book examines how multiple mobilities converge in Japan’s supposed hinterland. Drawing on research from three continents, this monograph demonstrates that Tohoku’s regional identity is inextricably intertwined with Pacific migrations.
Família, herança e poder em São Paulo, 1765-1855
"São aqui desvendados os mecanismos de formação e de preservação das famílias dominantes paulistas em seu estágio inicial de enriquecimento; as estratégias matrimoniais e de sucessão das heranças desenvolvidas com fins de conservar, ampliar, multiplicar, concentrar fortunas e propriedades fundiárias. Cada família, ao longo de três gerações, foi refeita de forma sistemática, possibilitando o seu acompanhamento longitudinal, os seus ciclos familiares interligados com as estratégias de herança e transmissão do patrimônio, da terra, dos escravos, dos engenhos, das lavouras"--Apresentação.
