África e Religiões Afro-Brasileiras
Este livro traz importantes contribuições a respeito da influência africana na história das religiões brasileiras, a partir de dois momentos distintos: a constituição da religiosidade africana nos séculos XVII e XVIII, calundus, quimbandas, xinguilas e outros rituais afro-diaspóricos; e num segundo momento a constituição das religiões afro-brasileiras modernas nos séculos XIX e XX: candomblés, macumbas, umbandas etc.

Dona Dulce morreu em 2015, aos 84 anos. Era baiana, de Andaraí, mas foi ainda menina para o Mato Grosso, com a família, para trabalhar no garimpo de diamante, na cidade de Tesouro.

Os discursos nas cartografias sociais e a organização dos terreiros de candomblé e umbanda no sertão do Brasil
Lílian Pinto trilhou seu caminho buscando a compreensão de si numa sociedade desconexa onde a ideologia de raça se presentificou de forma perene e perversa. Na tentativa de tornar-se em contraponto ao sentimento e à condição do "não ser", alteridade construída a partir do olhar do "outro", o não-negro, buscou aprofundar este mergulho através das suas pesquisas acadêmicas, para além das experiências sentidas na pele e na alma. Sentir na pele a dificuldade de se reconhecer e impulsionou a sua investigação pelas culturas afro e indígenas, na especificidade da espiritualidade, dos ritos e dos modos de viver dos povos racializados no Sertão do Brasil, através da análise do vast...
Bodin : on Sovereignty : Six Books of the Commonwealth
The Six Books of the Commonwealth was the first modern attempt to construct an elaborate system of political science. It is perhaps the most important work of its kind between Aristotle and modern writers. To the public finances, which he called "the sinews of the state," he devoted much attention, and insisted on the duties of the government in respect to the right adjustment of taxation. In general he deserves the praise of steadily keeping in view the higher aims and interests of society in connexion with the regulation and development of its material life. Jean Bodin (1530-1596) was born in Angers, France, and became a French jurist and political philosopher, member of the Parlement of Paris and professor of law in Toulouse. He is best known for his theory of sovereignty.
Critique of the Legal Order
Originally published thirty years ago, Critique of the Legal Order remains highly relevant for the twenty-first century. Here Richard Quinney provides a critical look at the legal order in capitalist society. Using a traditional Marxist perspective, he argues that the legal order is not intended to reduce crime and suffering, but to maintain class differences and a social order that mainly benefits the ruling class. Quinney challenges modern criminologists to examine their own positions. As "ancillary agents of power," criminologists provide information that governing elites use to manipulate and control those who threaten the system. Quinney's original and thorough analysis of "crime contro...
The Nature of the Common Law
Common law rules predominate in some areas of law, such as torts and contracts, and are extremely important in other areas, such as corporations. Nevertheless, it has been unclear what principles courts use—or should use—in establishing common law rules. In this lucid book, Melvin Eisenberg develops the principles that govern this process.
Constantine's Sword
A rare book that combines searing passion with a subject that has affected all of our lives. "Chicago Tribune" Novelist, cultural critic, and former priest James Carroll marries history with memoir as he maps the two-thousand-year course of the Church s battle against Judaism and faces the crisis of faith it has sparked in his own life. Fascinating, brave, and sometimes infuriating ("Time"), this dark history is more than a chronicle of religion. It is the central tragedy of Western civilization, its fault lines reaching deep into our culture to create a deeply felt work ("San Francisco Chronicle") as Carroll wrangles with centuries of strife and tragedy to reach a courageous and affecting reckoning with difficult truths."
A Short History of the World
A superb history of the world's people during the last four million years, beginning before the human race moved out of Africa to explore and settle the other continents. Mr. Blainey explores the development of technology and skills, the rise of major religions, and the role of geography, considering both the larger patterns and the individual nature of history. A delightful read, gracefully written, and full of odd and interesting pieces of information as well as thoughtful comparisons that span both time and space. —William L. O'Neill
The Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights: A Case Book
With this publication, WIPO and the author aim at making available for judges, lawyers and law enforcement officials a valuable tool for the handling of intellectual property cases. To that effect, the case book uses carefully selected court decisions drawn from various countries with either civil or common law traditions. The extracts from the decisions and accompanying comments illustrate the different areas of intellectual property law, with an emphasis on matters that typically arise in connection with the enforcement of intellectual property rights in civil as well as criminal proceedings.
