"Canal de Desvio" é um estudo que pretende analisar as experiências dos agricultores e dos indígenas envolvidos no conflito com a Itaipu Binacional, quando da desapropriação das terras do oeste paranaense para formação do lago da hidrelétrica. Partindo da localização do projeto e da descrição geográfica e humana da área afetada, a obra passa por uma análise das diferentes culturas envolvidas, das consequências do avanço do capitalismo na região e do projeto hidrelétrico enquanto projeto de desenvolvimento. Situa a construção da hidrelétrica binacional no contexto político nacional, inserida em um regime político autoritário e em uma proposta de desenvolvimento calcada em grandes projetos e endividamento do país junto aos bancos internacionais. Analisa especificamente o conflito entre agricultores e Itaipu e entre índios e Itaipu, detendo-se nos momentos mais importantes do confronto, examinando as táticas e estratégias de cada um dos envolvidos, as alianças estabelecidas e o papel da imprensa no processo.

Islamic Ecumene

The essays in Islamic Ecumene address the ways in which Muslims from Morocco to Indonesia and from sub-Saharan Africa to the steppes of Uzbekistan are members of a broad cultural unit. Although the Muslim inhabitants of these lands speak dozens of languages, represent numerous ethnic groups, and practice diverse forms of Islam, they are united by shared practices and worldviews shaped by religious identity. To highlight these commonalities, the co-editors invited a team of scholars from a wide range of disciplines to examine Muslim societies in comparative and interconnected ways. The result is a book that showcases ethics, education, architecture, the arts, modernization, political resistance, marriage, divorce, and death rituals. Using the insights and methods of historians, anthropologists, literary critics, art historians, political scientists, and sociologists, Islamic Ecumene seeks to understand Islamic identity as a dynamic phenomenon that is reflected in the multivalent practices of the more than one billion people across the planet who identify as Muslims.
