Liberals, Politics, and Power
Looking at the Latin American liberal project during the century of postindependence, this collection of original essays draws attention to an underappreciated dilemma confronting liberals: idealistic visions and fiscal restraints. Liberals, Politics, and Power focuses on the inventiveness of nineteenth-century Latin Americans who applied liberal ideology to the founding and maintenance of new states. The impact of liberalism in Latin America, the contributors show, is best understood against the larger backdrop of struggles that pitted regional demands against the pressures of foreign finance, a powerful church against a decentralized state, and aristocratic desire to retain privilege again...
Reconstructing the Brazilian Nation
Today, education is one of the weakest spheres of the public sector in Brazil. However, those who suggest a return to Getlio Vargas's self-styled "social democracy" are misguided by the magnificent visions, impressive efforts to increase the State's cognitive capacity, and far-reaching social legislation of his era. Reconstructing the Brazilian Nation goes beyond the analysis of national debates and laws and explores the implementation of education policy from the national level to the regional, municipal, and individual school levels in two key states, Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Sul. The book shows that Vargas's reforms were characterized by a technocratic modernization philosophy, a dualist concept of education, political indoctrination, and the aim of cultural and ethnic homogenization.

Os partidos políticos estaduais da Primeira República (1899-1930)
Este livro tem como objetivo principal desvendar qual foi o papel dos partidos políticos estaduais na Primeira República (1899-1930), período marcado por vastas controvérsias quanto à própria existência de organizações partidárias. A obra vem demonstrar, documentada em fontes alternativas e com abordagens diferenciadas no campo da História e da Ciência Política, que a trajetória do governo representativo no Brasil, mesmo antes da democracia, já contava com estruturas organizacionais responsáveis por atividades fundamentais nas arenas eleitoral e governamental, encapsulando o conflito social entre as elites políticas estaduais. Eram essas organizações que realizavam as eleições, selecionando os candidatos aos vários cargos eletivos, produzindo as cédulas eleitorais, defendendo plataformas políticas e administrando a imprensa partidária como veículo de competição política. Está destinada a ser uma obra de consulta obrigatória pelos estudiosos da nossa História e Ciência Política. Profa. Dra. Maria do Socorro Braga UFSCAR
