The Vigorous Core of Our Nationality
The Vigorous Core of Our Nationality explores conceptualizations of regional identity and a distinct population group known as nordestinos in northeastern Brazil during a crucial historical period. Beginning with the abolition of slavery and ending with the demise of the Estado Novo under Getœlio Vargas, Stanley E. Blake offers original perspectives on the paradoxical concept of the nordestino and the importance of these debates to the process of state and nation building. Since colonial times, the Northeast has been an agricultural region based primarily on sugar production. The area's population was composed of former slaves and free men of African descent, indigenous Indians, European wh...
Death Without Weeping
When lives are dominated by hunger, what becomes of love? When assaulted by daily acts of violence and untimely death, what happens to trust? Set in the lands of Northeast Brazil, this is an account of the everyday experience of scarcity, sickness and death that centres on the lives of the women and children of a hillside "favela". Bringing her readers to the impoverished slopes above the modern plantation town of Bom Jesus de Mata, where she has worked on and off for 25 years, Nancy Scheper-Hughes follows three generations of shantytown women as they struggle to survive through hard work, cunning and triage. It is a story of class relations told at the most basic level of bodies, emotions, desires and needs. Most disturbing - and controversial - is her finding that mother love, as conventionally understood, is something of a bourgeois myth, a luxury for those who can reasonably expect, as these women cannot, that their infants will live.

GESTÃO DE CONFLITOS
Bem-vinda e bem-vindo a mais uma viagem e um percurso realista e otimista sobre a gestão de conflitos, e que a leitura lhe provoque e lhe inspire a conhecer mais dos vários métodos, dos quais á dispomos, bem como pensar e criar novos métodos que irão solucionar muitos problemas ou conflitos, e quiçá, serão capazes de antecipá-los e de evita-los, antes mesmo que se instalem. (Alexandre Palermo Simões)
Leben im Moment?
Die brasilianische Moderne unterscheidet sich grundlegend von den europäischen und nordamerikanischen Sozialformationen. Dies arbeitet Florian Stoll exemplarisch mit einer an Bourdieu angelehnten mehrdimensionalen Analyse der sozialen Milieus in der Großstadt Recife heraus. Die Beschreibung der sozialen Schichtung und der Lebensverhältnisse der Milieus ist darüber hinaus ein Beispiel für die theoretische und methodische Ausdehnung sozialwissenschaftlicher Forschung auf außereuropäische Kontexte.
Gilberto Freyre
Mais que uma biografia ou uma nova interpretação da obra de Gilberto Freyre, Maria Lúcia Pallares-Burke nos oferece uma narrativa que acompanha os elementos formadores do pensamento freyriano. Esta ampla pesquisa revela a trajetória do autor de Casa grande & senzala, o mundo cultural no qual ele estava inserido e as influências anglo-americanas e nacionais que o levaram a abandonar a falácia do racismo científico e a entender a miscigenação sob uma nova perspectiva. Gilberto Freyre: um vitoriano dos trópicos nos apresenta as ideias que, absorvidas e transformadas, permitiram a Freyre gerar a contribuição original e definitiva que mudou a maneira como o Brasil se percebia.
