Divining Slavery and Freedom
This book discusses African religion and its place in a slave society, using the story of Domingos Sodré as its backdrop.
Design for Vulnerable Communities
This book aims to provide bases for reasoning on what challenges urban-architectural design for vulnerable communities will face in the coming years. Several issues, such as technological development, climate change, political crisis and economic uncertainties show as traditional strategies and methodologies are not sufficient to deeply solve the problems of these complex realities. These new changes, which are studied in different fields of knowledge, highlight the fact that the development of effective solutions must be characterized by multidisciplinary approaches and must be based on strategies promoted by different disciplines. For this reason, this contributed volume collects contribut...
Humanities
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon became the editor in 2000. The subject categories for Volume 58 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Humanities Art History (including ethnohistory) Literature (including translations from the Spanish and Portuguese) Philosophy: Latin American Thought Music

Açúcar amargo
O livro reúne uma enorme documentação histórica, cadastral e fotográfica sobre a agroindústria açucareira do século XVI ao XIX. Resultado da dissertação de mestrado e a tese de doutorado da autora, a primeira parte da obra sobre o período do século XVI ao XVIII dos grandes engenhos do Recôncavo, movidos por rodas-d’água; enquanto a segunda, tem como foco o século XIX e as transformações por que passou a agroindústria com o advento do vapor, novas técnicas de purga e a crise que enfrentou com a competição de açúcar do Caribe. Um livro indispensável para a compreensão da história do maior ciclo econômico brasileiro, suas relações sociais, processos de extração da sacarose de cana e o cenário da sua produção. Historicamente rigoroso, mas, ainda assim, agradável e pronto para ser desfrutado.

Os sertaníadas - vol. 1 - de 1500 a 1900 - (500 anos de hipocrisia na história do brasil)
Este livro tenta vislumbrar a epopeia dos heróis esquecidos que ajudaram a construir a história dos Sertões. Não é um livro ufanista, bairrista, ou segregacionista. É apenas um sussurrar telúrico, bem brasileiro, da epopeia secular que já contabilizou mais de cinco milhões de mortos, dezenas de milhões de fugitivos e milhões de crianças que não completaram um ano de idade. Resultado de 40 anos de indagações e mais de 1,5 milhão de quilômetros nos Sertões. São cerca de 4.000 citações documentadas e centenas de outras consideradas como de *domínio público*. Por uma conspiração silenciosa, a História dos Sertões foi decepada em muitos momentos, entronizando pseudo-her...
Adaptive Reuse in Latin America
This book seeks to explore the theoretical and architectural connections between memory, values, cultural identity, and adaptive reuse in Latin America. It does so by critically analyzing ideas and works within the context from where they emerge. With rich and layered historic centers, a wealth of colonial and 19th-century buildings, and the heritage from the modern era, Latin America offers a unique architectural patrimony and its contribution and impact on contemporary culture and architecture still require critical study and discussion. The chapters of this timely book consider the conflicted relationship between colonialism, native cultures, and immigration. It also explores the connecti...
