In illustrating how human geographers can ill afford to subscribe to the analytically false dichotomy between “culture” and “the economy,” the book explicates how cultural and economic geography can be seamlessly integrated , bringing them into a creative tension to their mutual benefit.

A presente obra resulta de material organizado pelo Prof. Dr. Álvaro Rizzoli, sob a forma de inventário de processos do judiciário relativos a escravos e libertos que estiveram sob a guarda do extinto Arquivo de História Contemporânea da UFSCar, bem como de registros do Arquivo da Cúria Diocesana de São Carlos. Os dados arrolados por este inventário analítico, gerados no interior das instituições da sociedade escravista, apesar dos vieses, permitem o desenvolvimento de pesquisas em diferentes níveis do cotidiano do escravo. A presente publicação tem como origem os estudos e pesquisas sobre africanidades brasileiras, do ponto de vista da Sociologia, História e Política, realizadas junto ao NEAB/UFSCar, no período de 1991 a 1996.

This collection of articles covers a crucial period of Spain's history, from the rise of Franco to the crucial Stabilization Plan of 1959. Separated into four chronologically divided sections, it focuses largely on the international reactions to and the involvement of other powers in the Spanish Civil War, including an examination of French and British reactions to the situation in Spain, and Soviet, German and Italian involvement and the period of the Second World War, with a particular focus on Spain's relations to the Axis and Vichy France especially during the period of 1940/41 when a Spanish entry in to the war was most likely. The fate of the Spanish refugees and exiles in Britain and France is also highlighted, as is Spain's international position in the aftermath of the Second World War and particularly the attitude of the former Allies, Britain, France, the Soviet Union, and the USA. The volume ends with Spain's response to the unfolding economic co-operation and integration in Western Europe.
