Quebra-Quilos and Peasant Resistance
In 1874 and 1875, Brazilian peasants in the Northeastern region of Brazil rose up in rebellion, destroying the weights and measures of the new metric system implemented by the government from Rio de Janeiro. The authorities quickly dubbed this the Quebra-Quilos or the 'Break the Scales' uprising. Richardson's analysis of the uprising explores its underlying causes: increased taxes, rising costs of foodstuffs, the forced implementation of this new metric system, fear of being drafted into the military and, finally, the imprisonment of two of the leading bishops in Brazil, known as the Religious Question. Quebra-Quilos and Peasant Resistance explores the complicated, multi-faceted uprising. The book covers the causes and results of an economy gone awry, governmental attempts at modernization, and the inevitable nineteenth-century conflicts over church-state relations.
WORLD CITIZENSHIP
Some people often use to say that in life we have few privileges. However, most of them fail to measure the greatness of simple, or apparently simple, things like seeing, reading, feeding ourselves, being able to access health services, education, justice, freedom. That simple word contains what, in my opinion, is the greatest wealth we can possess. Freedom to move, think and express ourselves, love and choose who we love. Even destroy or destroy us. This book has made me think about the exercise of freedom, about the way in which the world acts and how we act in it, almost without awareness of what we do, about the way in which we are free to associate, relate and therefore, Freedom f...
Darwin's Man in Brazil
Fritz Müller (1821-1897), though not as well known as his colleague Charles Darwin, belongs in the cohort of great nineteenth-century naturalists. Recovering Müller's legacy, David A. West describes the close intellectual kinship between Müller and Darwin and details a lively correspondence that spanned seventeen years. The two scientists, despite living on separate continents, often discussed new research topics and exchanged groundbreaking ideas that unequivocally moved the field of evolutionary biology forward. Müller was unique among naturalists testing Darwin's theory of natural selection because he investigated an enormous diversity of plants and animals, corresponded with prominent scientists, and published important articles in Germany, England, the United States, and Brazil. Darwin frequently praised Müller's powers of observation and interpretation, counting him among those scientists whose opinions he valued most. Despite the importance and scope of his work, however, Müller is known for relatively few of his discoveries. West remedies this oversight, chronicling the life and work of this remarkable and overlooked man of science.
Sertões ontem e hoje
Este livro simboliza o encontro dos discentes com os sertões, dentro e fora do PPGHC. Cada capítulo carrega consigo os afetos e as interpretações dos autores de como veem, pensam e vivem os sertões em suas fontes. Mais que uma coleção de artigos, este livro representa o desenvolvimento das pesquisas acadêmicas que outrora eram apenas projetos. Na reta final do curso de mestrado do PPGHC, os sertões são aqui escritos por cada autor, que são tocados pelo tempo, pelo espaço e pelos simbolismos do universo sertanejo. Ao leitor que caminha conosco, desejamos que faça uma boa leitura e, principalmente, que se inspire a continuar os caminhos já abertos ou que venha a criar seus próprios caminhos de encontro com os sertões.
Religious Conflict in Brazil
The story of how Brazilian Catholics and Protestants confronted one of the greatest shocks to the Latin American religious system in its 500-year history This innovative study explores the transition in Brazil from a hegemonically Catholic society to a religiously pluralistic society. With sensitivity, Erika Helgen shows that the rise of religious pluralism was fraught with conflict and violence, as Catholic bishops, priests, and friars organized intense campaigns against Protestantism. These episodes of religious violence were not isolated outbursts of reactionary rage, but rather formed part of a longer process through which religious groups articulated their vision for Brazil’s national future.
Ethnobotany of the Mountain Regions of Brazil
Research in recent years has increasingly shifted away from purely academic research, and into applied aspects of the discipline, including climate change research, conservation, and sustainable development. It has by now widely been recognized that “traditional” knowledge is always in flux and adapting to a quickly changing environment. Trends of globalization, especially the globalization of plant markets, have greatly influenced how plant resources are managed nowadays. While ethnobotanical studies are now available from many regions of the world, no comprehensive encyclopedic series focusing on the worlds mountain regions is available in the market. Scholars in plant sciences worldwi...
