O Laboratório de Ecologia do Desenvolvimento, vinculado à Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA), desenvolve pesquisas na área da Psicologia do Desenvolvimento, entre elas no contexto do acolhimento infantojuvenil no Brasil, que ainda é uma realidade muito presente na vida de inúmeras crianças e adolescentes em situação de risco e vulnerabilidade social e pessoal. Nesse sentido, por meio do Núcleo de Estudo e Pesquisa em Acolhimento Institucional e Adoção (NEPAIA), várias iniciativas de estudos têm sido realizadas, com o intuito de contribuir com as discussões e aprimoramento do atendimento e das políticas públicas. Esta obra, portanto, é resultado da reunião de pesquisas nacionais e ações inovadoras, desenvolvidas em serviços de acolhimento de crianças e adolescentes brasileiros. Trata-se de uma construção coletiva, na qual profissionais e especialistas na área nos convidam a refletir sobre temas ainda pouco explorados na literatura, como acolhimento conjunto, família acolhedora, crianças e adolescentes ameaçados de morte, fenômeno da retratação de crianças e adolescentes vítimas de violência sexual, entre outros. Boa leitura!
"Eu acho que grande parte das pessoas que vivem na favela no Rio de Janeiro, principalmente essas favelas que têm muito confronto [...] que têm conflito armado, muita violência, são pessoas que, em algum momento, já pensaram ou estão pensando em sair, em fazer esse deslocamento que realmente é um deslocamento forçado, porque você tem que sair dali, porque a sua vida que tá em risco" (Trecho de entrevista, janeiro de 2022). O registro acima demonstra a problemática dos deslocamentos internos e forçados que se particularizam nos conflitos armados no Rio de Janeiro. Urge a necessidade de pensar a proteção social às vítimas desse fenômeno, no cenário em que os fluxos das migrações transnacionais contemporâneas e as violências são expressões das lutas de classes, que se dão na intrínseca produção das desigualdades de classe, gênero e raça/etnia, na ótica das políticas neoliberais que impactam à sociabilidade nos territórios de favelas.

Coastal and marine ecosystems, some severely degraded, other still pristine, control rich resources of inshore environments and coastal seas of Latin America's Pacific and Atlantic margins. Conflicts between the needs of the region's nations and diminishing revenues and environmental quality have induced awareness of coastal ecological problems and motivated financial support for restoration and management. The volume provides a competent review on the structure, processes and function of 22 important Latin American coastal marine ecosystems. Each contribution describes the environmental settings, biotic components and structure of the system, considers trophic processes and energy flow, evaluates the modifying influence of natural and human perturbations, and suggests management needs. Although the focus of the book is on basic ecological research, the results have application for coastal managers.
This book traces the history and development of the port of Benguela, the third largest port of slave embarkation on the coast of Africa, from the early seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth century. Benguela, located on the central coast of present-day Angola, was founded by the Portuguese in the early seventeenth century. In discussing the impact of the transatlantic slave trade on African societies, Mariana P. Candido explores the formation of new elites, the collapse of old states and the emergence of new states. Placing Benguela in an Atlantic perspective, this study shows how events in the Caribbean and Brazil affected social and political changes on the African coast. This book emphasizes the importance of the South Atlantic as a space for the circulation of people, ideas and crops.
