Since the first contact with Europeans, the Americas have been a continent of immigrants as much as a continent of continuous migrations. Black migrations represent more than the transit of people between countries and regions and from rural areas to urban centers. It contributed to constructing networks that made survival possible, creating neighborhoods and cultural expression, impacting dietary habits, exchanging crops and agricultural techniques, and uplifting families from slavery and misery to ownership, education, and political representation. The most dangerous elements that moved from place to place with blacks were the ideas of freedom and citizenship. This book brings together art...

Women's Suffrage in the Americas

The first hemispheric study to trace how women in the Americas obtained the right to vote, Women's Suffrage in the Americas pushes back against the misconception that women's movements originated in the United States. The volume brings Latin American voices to the forefront of English-language scholarship. Suffragists across the hemisphere worked together, formed collegial networks to support each other's work, and fostered advances toward women gaining the vote over time and space from one country to the next. The collection as a whole suggests several models by which women in the Americas gained the right to vote: through party politics; through decree, despite delays justified by women's supposed conservative politics; through conservative defense of traditional roles for women; and within the context of imperialism. However, until now historians have traditionally failed to view this common history through a hemispheric lens.

Paulo Freire - Formação de educadoras/es, diversidade e compromisso social

Este livro reúne textos apresentados no 2o Congresso Internacional "Paulo Freire: O Legado Global", realizado em 2018, em Belo Horizonte, que se vinculam, direta ou indiretamente, ao tema da formação de educadoras/es, diversidade e compromisso social. Assim como aconteceu com os trabalhos durante esse evento, os capítulos deste livro se organizam por "temas geradores", inspirados na obra de Paulo Freire. Contribuíram com esta obra, autoras/es de todas as regiões do Brasil, além de colegas do Chile e de Portugal. Publica-se este livro em um contexto político extremamente adverso no Brasil, em que a já frágil democracia brasileira é constantemente ameaçada e o Patrono da Educação em nosso país tornou-se alvo de ataques de grupos ultraconservadores e reacionários. E é exatamente isso que nos faz ter certeza da importância da publicação deste livro e do que ele representa para a construção de uma sociedade verdadeiramente democrática: mais justa, mais igualitária, mais humana, mais fraterna, não discriminatória e ecologicamente sustentável – ou seja, tudo aquilo que Paulo Freire nos deixou, por meio de sua obra, como legado.

O Início do Feminismo no Brasil
  • Language: pt-BR

O Início do Feminismo no Brasil

O início do feminismo no Brasil foi o título atribuído à publicação da ata de fundação da Junta Feminil Pró-Hermes-Wenceslau, coletivo criado em 1909 para apoiar a candidatura de Hermes da Fonseca à Presidência da República. O grupo, liderado por Leolinda de Figueiredo Daltro, pioneira no ativismo político pelos direitos das mulheres, deu origem no ano seguinte ao Partido Republicano Feminino, com atuação política voltada para a reivindicação do direito das mulheres ao voto e por maior participação feminina na esfera pública. A obra lança luzes sobre a personalidade de Leolinda, que, embora hoje seja pouco conhecida pela sociedade, em sua época fundou escolas, jornais, um partido e até mesmo a primeira entidade nacional dedicada à proteção dos índios. Com relato em primeira pessoa da expressiva atuação de Leolinda Daltro, como mulher e cidadã, esta obra representa uma importante contribuição para a coleção Vozes Femininas, cuja intenção é resgatar o protagonismo das mulheres na historiografia brasileira.

Planetwise

I was in the act of throwing away my family's rubbish while holidaying on a beautiful island when I heard God speak. I could easily have missed it, but an inner whisper asked, "How do you think I feel about what you are doing to my world?"' Since the day God challenged him, Dave Bookless has been on a mission: to share with others the compelling biblical case for caring for the planet God made for his glory and his people's enjoyment. This is not another book on green issues to make you feel guilty. The message is that there is hope. God can take your small and insignificant efforts and multiply them in his great plan. Dave takes us right into the heart of his family and shows how living simply, besides honouring God, can be an exciting adventure.
