End Of The Peasantry
The rural labor movement played a surprisingly active role in Brazil's transition to democracy in the 1980s. While in most Latin American countries rural labor was conspicuously marginal, in Brazil, an expanded, secularized, and centralized movement organized strikes, staged demonstrations for land reform, demanded political liberalization, and criticized the government’s environmental policies. In this ground-breaking book, Anthony W. Pereira explains this transition as the result of two intertwined processes - the modernization of agricultural production and the expansion of the welfare state into the countryside - and explores the political consequences of these processes, occurring not only in Latin America but in much of the Third World.
Racial Revolutions
Since the 1970s there has been a dramatic rise in the Indian population in Brazil as increasing numbers of pardos (individuals of mixed African, European, and indigenous descent) have chosen to identify themselves as Indians. In Racial Revolutions—the first book-length study of racial formation in Brazil that centers on Indianness—Jonathan W. Warren draws on extensive fieldwork and numerous interviews to illuminate the discursive and material forces responsible for this resurgence in the population. The growing number of pardos who claim Indian identity represents a radical shift in the direction of Brazilian racial formation. For centuries, the predominant trend had been for Indians to ...

Current Air Quality Issues
Air pollution is thus far one of the key environmental issues in urban areas. Comprehensive air quality plans are required to manage air pollution for a particular area. Consequently, air should be continuously sampled, monitored, and modeled to examine different action plans. Reviews and research papers describe air pollution in five main contexts: Monitoring, Modeling, Risk Assessment, Health, and Indoor Air Pollution. The book is recommended to experts interested in health and air pollution issues.
Literaturas africanas e afro-brasileira na prática pedagógica
Integrante da Coleção Cultura Negra e Identidades, este livro propõe ao docente uma postura pedagógica mais responsável, que privilegie o diálogo intercultural e supere preconceitos e estereótipos. Para isso, as autoras mostram ao professor e à professora as contribuições das Literaturas africanas e afro-brasileira na prática pedagógica. O universo literário africano como ferramenta para a efetivação da Lei no 10.639/03 é o cerne deste livro que parte da necessidade de uma educação da diferença para apresentar aos leitores quais são as pesquisas que caminham nesse sentido no campo educacional e chamar a atenção para a importância de investir na educação como direito social. Até quando os cursos de Pedagogia e de licenciatura continuarão negando ou omitindo a inclusão do conteúdo da Lei no 10.639/03 nos seus currículos? O que fazer diante das lacunas que comprometem a implantação dessa Lei? Essas são algumas das questões tratadas neste livro que busca analisar como têm sido os cursos de formação inicial de professores quando o assunto é a discussão sobre África e questão afro-brasileira.

Hidden Lives
On Third World streets or First World televisions, Latin America's children are seen but seldom listened to. Child labourers, street children and shanty town kids are portrayed in the West as helpless victims, passive, big-eyed and hungry, besieged by poverty and violence. However, this text argues that if you talk to the children themselves a different picture emerges - one of children as active, energetic and resourceful fighters, struggling to improve their lives, get an education, and earn a living. The book explores the lives of children through their own eyes and voices. It argues that child participation is both a right and a necessity if child-centred social programmes are to succeed...
Amazonian Dark Earths: Wim Sombroek's Vision
Amazonian soils are almost universally thought of as extremely forbidding. However, it is now clear that complex societies with large, sedentary populations were present for over a millennium before European contact. Associated with these are tracts of anomalously fertile, dark soils termed ‘terra preta’ or dark earths. These soils are presently an important agricultural resource within Amazonia and provide a model for developing long-term future sustainability of food production in tropical environments. The late Dutch soil scientist Wim Sombroek (1934-2003) was instrumental in bringing the significance of these soils to the attention of the world over four decades ago. Wim saw not only...
