Socio-political Histories of Latin American Statistics
This book brings together recent research on the sociopolitical history of Latin American statistics from the nineteenth to the first half of the twentieth century. Reflecting the influence of social constructivism in the social sciences, it sheds new light on the historical emergence and development of both statistical reasoning and practices within a region traditionally seen as a passive consumer of foreign-produced theories and methods. By analysing the processes of institutionalisation of statistics in different national spaces, from Mexico to the Southern Cone, these studies show the unique ways in which Latin America adapted and used this modern tool of government and social classific...

Wissen über Arbeit in Krisenzeiten
Argentinien war zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts eines der reichsten Länder der Welt, doch in der Bevölkerung herrschten Armut, Hunger und Wut. Die Befriedung von Arbeit und Kapital rückte nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg in den Mittelpunkt der Politik: Im Kontext der neu gegründeten Internationalen Arbeitsorganisation erhielt die Frage, wie international gültige soziale Rechte Demokratien und Volkswirtschaften in Krisenzeiten stabilisieren können, neue Relevanz. Simon Gerards Iglesias liefert neue Erkenntnisse über die transnationalen Dimensionen der Sozialpolitik in ihrer Entstehungsphase und beleuchtet die Komplexität des länderübergreifenden Austauschs zwischen Argentinien, Amerika und Europa.
História do Brasil em 25 mapas
De um planisfério de 1502 a softwares que acompanham via satélite o desmatamento na Amazônia no século XXI, das organizações de comunidades quilombolas ao Plano Piloto, História do Brasil em 25 mapas traz um estudo inédito, feito por pesquisadores e pesquisadoras das mais diferentes áreas, para pensar o Brasil a partir de sua cartografia. Segundo Andréa Doré e Junia Furtado, organizadoras deste livro, "os mapas não falam só sobre o que eles representam. Por vezes, dizem mais sobre o que calam, e seus silêncios se tornam eloquentes". Objetos de cuidadosa investigação para revelar seus significados — por vezes bem claros; outras, quase ocultos —, nenhum dos componentes de u...
National Colors
National Colors analyzes the politics and practices of official ethnoracial classification in the censuses of nineteen Latin American countries over nearly two centuries. It shows that, in addition to domestic politics, the ways that states classify their citizens are strongly influenced by shifting international criteria for how to construct modern nations and promote national development.

Archaeological Human Remains
This volume addresses the directions that studies of archaeological human remains have taken in a number of different countries, where attitudes range from widespread support to prohibition. Overlooked in many previous publications, this diversity in attitudes is examined through a variety of lenses, including academic origins, national identities, supporting institutions, archaeological context and globalization. The volume situates this diversity of attitudes by examining past and current tendencies in studies of archaeologically-retrieved human remains across a range of geopolitical settings. In a context where methodological approaches have been increasingly standardized in recent decades, the volume poses the question if this standardization has led to a convergence in approaches to archaeological human remains or if significant differences remain between practitioners in different countries. The volume also explores the future trajectories of the study of skeletal remains in the different jurisdictions under scrutiny.
Counting for Nothing
The calculation of "national wealth" is full of bias, particularly gender bias against women. Waring's classic analysis of women's place in the world economy is brought up to date in this reprinted edition by a sizable new introduction by the author.
