SUSTAINED PRODUCTION IN THE CERRADO
In this historical book, the author tries to tell the audience how the occupation of the Brazilian Cerrado Biome took place, which began in the 1970s and today places Brazil as the world's largest grain exporter. When President Juscelino Kubitschek built Brasília, he was criticized a lot because he was building a capital in the "middle of nowhere", and it really was true. The soil, in addition to not having any fertility, had no technology to make it productive. Initially, the president's boldness only served to show Brazilians the size of their country. Later, another visionary, also from Minas Gerais of the same lineage, Alysson Paolinelli managed to show that with technology and a lot of...
A produção sustentada no Cerrado
Trata-se de um livro histórico no qual o autor tenta contar como aconteceu a ocupação do bioma Cerrado, que teve início nos anos 70, e hoje coloca o Brasil como o maior exportador mundial de grãos. Quando o presidente Juscelino Kubitschek construiu Brasília, foi muito criticado, pois estava construindo uma capital no "meio do nada". E realmente era verdade. O solo, além de não possuir nenhuma fertilidade, não contava com tecnologia para torná-lo produtivo. Inicialmente, a ousadia do presidente só serviu para mostrar ao brasileiro o tamanho do seu país.

Wealth, Land, and Property in Angola
Exploring the multifaceted history of dispossession, consumption, and inequality in West Central Africa, Mariana P. Candido presents a bold revisionist history of Angola from the sixteenth century until the Berlin Conference of 1884–5. Synthesising disparate strands of scholarship, including the histories of slavery, land tenure, and gender in West Central Africa, Candido makes a significant contribution to ongoing historical debates. She demonstrates how ideas about dominion and land rights eventually came to inform the appropriation and enslavement of free people and their labour. By centring the experiences of West Central Africans, and especially African women, this book challenges dominant historical narratives, and shows that securing property was a gendered process. Drawing attention to how archives obscure African forms of knowledge and normalize conquest, Candido interrogates simplistic interpretations of ownership and pushes for the decolonization of African history.
