Obra resultante de uma pesquisa de Dissertação de Mestrado que abordou a política do Estado do Brasil e em especial, em Alagoas, para o controle da Hanseníase, no período entre as décadas de 1940 e 1960. Através de entrevistas e análises de documentos oficiais, foi possível desvelar alguns dos mecanismos e estratégias adotadas pelas autoridades de saúde naquela época e que refletem na construção do imaginário estigmatizado e negligenciado em torno da Hanseníase até os dias atuais. O estudo histórico-social se deu a partir do fomento do Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq e Fundação de apoio à pesquisa de Alagoas - Fapeal, inserido no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Enfermagem da Universidade Federal de Alagoas com a participação do Programa de pós-graduação em Antropologia Social da mesma universidade, tendo sido executado entre os anos de 2017 e 2019.

This book explores the political trajectory of Latin America's most important contemporary labor movement. The New Unionism played a central role in Brazil's struggle for democracy in the 1980s and recast the country's subsequent party politics through its creation of the innovative Workers' Party (PT).

Through the prism of internal politics, he shows how Brazil's transitions - from military-authoritarian to liberal-democratic rule, from statist to free-market e...
Published to wide acclaim in 1974, Thomas E. Skidmore's intellectual history of Brazilian racial ideology has become a classic in the field. Available for the first time in paperback, this edition has been updated to include a new preface and bibliography that surveys recent scholarship in the field. Black into White is a broad-ranging study of what the leading Brazilian intellectuals thought and propounded about race relations between 1870 and 1930. In an effort to reconcile social realities with the doctrines of scientific racism, the Brazilian ideal of "whitening"—the theory that the Brazilian population was becoming whiter as race mixing continued—was used to justify the recruiting of European immigrants and to falsely claim that Brazil had harmoniously combined a multiracial society of Europeans, Africans, and indigenous peoples.
This book focuses on changing political thought in twentieth-century Brazil.
INTRODUCED BY SALLEY VICKERS 'I'm a huge fan of Barbara Pym' RICHARD OSMAN 'She is the rarest of treasures; she reminds us of the heart-breaking silliness of everyday life' ANNE TYLER Catherine Oliphant is a writer and lives with handsome anthropologist Tom Mallow. Their relationship runs into trouble when he begins a romance with student Deirdre Swann, so Catherine turns her attention to the reclusive anthropologist Alaric Lydgate, who has a fondness for wearing African masks. Added to this love tangle are the activities of Deirdre's fellow students and their attempts to win the competition for a research grant. The course of true love or academia never did run smooth. 'Her best [novels] are sheer delight, and all of them companionable. Quiet, paradoxical, funny and sad, they have the iron in them of permanence too' JOHN UPDIKE, NEW YORKER 'She can be seriously, hilariously funny - no other novelist has celebrated our national silliness with such exuberance' KATE SAUNDERS
