Estabelecemos como ponto de partida da nossa história e genealogia o casal Johannes Kuhn e Katharina Gehlen. A partir deles, elaboramos um vasto estudo da descendência até os Kuhn da atualidade. A partir deles, também traçamos a linha de ascendentes e sua história até chegar no Stammvater Johann Kuhn, nascido por volta do longínquo ano de 1510. Johannes Kuhn e Katharina Gehlen vivenciaram um período que se constitui num dos pontos altos da história da civilização ocidental: a Revolução Francesa. Na pequena aldeia de Hasborn eles viveram todos os momentos de um processo histórico responsável por grandes conquistas e mudanças na vida das pessoas humildes. A posterior reação ...
A trajetória profissional e pessoal do autor o direcionou para a interdisciplinaridade, notadamente entre a História e a Geografia, sendo a noção de des-re-territorialização o pilar da sua abordagem acerca da relação entre Maranhão e Roraima, entre o Bumba-meu-Boi que se brinca no Maranhão e o que se brinca em terras roraimenses. A profundidade das suas análises, resultados e conclusões advém de um longo caminho, cuja raiz está na larga experiência nos estudos migratórios, com a metodologia da História Oral, na destreza em manejar o conceito de território e territorialidade e de uma pesquisa fundamentada em um rico elenco de fontes – orais, escritas e imagéticas - coleta...
The latest novel from a rising star of Brazilian literature, Crow Blue spins a far-reaching story of the search for one's roots.
Albert Memmi's controversial statements about racism and his call to each of us to devote ourselves to its eradication--futile though this effort will be--are straightforward and lucid, yet also powerful and universal. In this remarkable meditation on a subject at the troubled center of contemporary life, Memmi investigates racism as social pathology--a cultural disease that prevails because it allows one segment of society to empower itself at the expense of another. By turns historical, sociological, and autobiographical, Racism moves beyond individual prejudice to engage the broader questions of collective behavior and social responsibility. Book jacket.
The contributors explore modes of social and psychological experience, the constitution of the subject, and forms of subjection that shape the lives of Basque youth, Indonesian artists, members of nongovernmental HIV/AIDS programmes in China and Zaire, and psychiatrists and their patients in Morocco and Ireland.
Inspired to contribute to the symbiotic relationship between the academic and activist worlds, Day has decided to pick up the pen instead of the Molotov cocktail. The result is this brilliant book. Ann Hansen: Ann was sentenced to life imprisonment for blowing up a cruise-missile component factory, and is the author of Direct Action: The Memoirs of an Urban Guerilla. Gramsci and the concept of hegemony cast a long shadow over radical political theory. Yet how far has this theory got us? Is it still central to feminism, anti-capitalism, anti-racism, anarchism, and other radical social movements today? Unlike previous revolutionary movements, Day argues, most contemporary radical social moveme...
Chronicling the dramatic history of the Brazilian Amazon during the Second World War, Seth Garfield provides fresh perspectives on contemporary environmental debates. His multifaceted analysis explains how the Amazon became the object of geopolitical rivalries, state planning, media coverage, popular fascination, and social conflict. In need of rubber, a vital war material, the United States spent millions of dollars to revive the Amazon's rubber trade. In the name of development and national security, Brazilian officials implemented public programs to engineer the hinterland's transformation. Migrants from Brazil's drought-stricken Northeast flocked to the Amazon in search of work. In defense of traditional ways of life, longtime Amazon residents sought to temper outside intervention. Garfield's environmental history offers an integrated analysis of the struggles among distinct social groups over resources and power in the Amazon, as well as the repercussions of those wartime conflicts in the decades to come.
