Political Struggle, Ideology, and State Building
The collapse of the Portuguese empire in the Americas in the early nineteenth century did not immediately or easily translate into the formation of the independent nation-state of Brazil. While "Brazil" had geographic meaning, it did not constitute a cohesive political identity that could draw on basic loyalties. The tumultuous struggle to nationhood in Brazil was marked by the interplay of differing social groups, political parties, and regions. A series of violent revolts in Pernambuco, a large slaveholding, sugar-producing province in northeastern Brazil, exposed the tensions accompanying state and nation building. Political Struggle, Ideology, and State Building delves into the complex a...

Bundesliga 2011-2012
The exciting conclusion to the 2011-12 Bundesliga season saw Borussia Dortmund retain the title with a record points total ahead of Bayern Munich. At the other end of the table there were stormy relegations for Cologne and Hertha Berlin as well as a poor Kaiserslautern side.

This 373-page book details every match of the season, with week-by-week tables showing the teams' movements throughout the 34 rounds of matches. Every match line-up is included, along with details of every player appearance. Finally, this comprehensive record also provides statistics on attendances, referees performances, disciplinary records and goalscorers. Fully in English.
The Practice of Politics in Postcolonial Brazil
The Practice of Politics in Postcolonial Brazil traces the history of high and low politics in nineteenth-century Brazil from the vantage point of the provincial capital of Porto Alegre. In the immediate postcolonial period, new ideas about citizenship and freedom were developing, and elites struggled for control of the state as the lower classes sought inclusion in political life. In a shift from the Liberal Party to Positivist or Conservative rule during the bloody Federalist Revolt of 1893-1895, new leaders sought to bring about a more balanced structure of government where the capitalist was sympathetic to the worker, and the worker more passive toward the elite. This represented a compl...
