Cleansing Honor with Blood
This book offers a critical reinterpretation of male violence, patriarchy, and machismo in rural Latin America. It focuses on the lives of lower-class men and women, known as sertanejo/as, in the hinterlands of the northeastern Brazilian province of Ceará between 1845 and 1889. Challenging the widely accepted depiction of sertanejos as conditioned to violence by nature, culture, and climate, Santos argues that their concern with maintaining an honorable manly reputation and the use of violence were historically contingent strategies employed to resolve conflicts over scant resources and to establish power over women and other men. She also traces a shift in the functioning of patriarchy that coincided with changes in the material fortunes of sertanejo families. As economic dislocation, environmental calamity, and family separation led to greater female autonomy and an erosion of patriarchal authority in the home, public—and often violent—enforcement of male power maintained patriarchal order in these communities.

Disaster Writing
Annotation In the aftermath of disaster, literary and other cultural representations of the event can play a role in the renegotiation of political power. Here, the author analyses four natural disasters in Latin America that acquired national significance and symbolism through literary mediation.
Reclaiming Latin America
Reclaiming Latin America is a one-stop guide to the revival of social democratic and socialist politics across the region. At the end of the Cold War, and through decades of neoliberal domination and the 'Washington Consensus' it seemed that the left could do nothing but beat a ragged retreat in Latin America. Yet this book looks at the new opportunities that sprang up through electoral politics and mass action during that period. The chapters here warn against over-simplification of the so-called 'pink wave'. Instead, through detailed historical analysis of Latin America as a whole and country-specific case studies, the book demonstrates the variety of approaches to establishing a lasting social justice. From the anti-imperialism of the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas in Venezuela, Bolivia and Cuba, to the more gradualist routes being taken in Chile, Argentina and Brazil, Reclaiming Latin America gives a real sense of the plurality of political responses to popular discontent.
Coastal Geography in Northeast Brazil
This book studies the transformation of modern maritimity practices in coastal areas (such as swimming, navigation and tourism) and their implications to the development of Brazilian coastal cities, with an emphasis on the Northeast part of the country. It is a reflection on coastal geography in the tropics and the contemporary valorization of coastal cities from a socioeconomic, technological and symbolical point of view. The book highlights local fluxes on a regional and local scale, showing the incorporation of beach zones to spaces which were previously associated with so called traditional coastal practices (fishing activities and as harboring points). This book is dedicated to geography researchers and students.
Contact Strategies
Around the year 1800, independent Native groups still effectively controlled about half the territory of the Americas. How did they maintain their political autonomy and territorial sovereignty, hundreds of years after the arrival of Europeans? In a study that spans the eighteenth to twentieth centuries and ranges across the vast interior of South America, Heather F. Roller examines this history of power and persistence from the vantage point of autonomous Native peoples in Brazil. The central argument of the book is that Indigenous groups took the initiative in their contacts with Brazilian society. Rather than fleeing or evading contact, Native peoples actively sought to appropriate what w...
Imagens do Novo Mundo
Este trabalho lança luz sobre a utilização de imagens como fonte histórica e sua utilização como expressão da diversidade social e da pluralidade humana. Após um estudo detalhado sobre a análise de imagens, nos detemos aos usos das imagens de Theodor de Bry no ensino de História da América. Demonstrando como a popularização das imagens sobre o Novo Mundo é relevante, tanto no século XVI, período de sua produção, como nos dias atuais, nos materiais didáticos. Atentando para essas abordagens, em diferentes períodos, apresentamos como essas imagens estão sendo empregadas no estudo da História da América, levando em conta as pesquisas atuais sobre o tema, a busca por uma educação desvinculada do eixo europeu – através dos documentos oficiais da educação que regem a elaboração do material didático – e a utilização de imagens como ferramenta de ensino.
