Dams in Brazil
The book focuses on the human and social effects of the construction of hydroelectric dams in Brazil. It discusses themes such as forced migrations, how the families of the victims of the dams adapt to new living areas, the struggle of families with the relocation of their homes and the fact that they are neglected by builders and government. These discussions are carried out in a comparative perspective between Southern and Northern Brazil, where contexts and living conditions are quite different. The book's main objective is to analyze the movements, adaptations and life changes in families suffering from the effects of dams throughout Brazil. This is the first book that analyzes the relationship dam-space with the intent to understand how dams affect the territory. The book is organized in three chapters: the dams’ effects in Brazil and the territorial impacts; human and social consequences of dam construction; a regional comparison of the effects of dams between the South and the North of the country.

Historical Dictionary of the Green Movement
There are very serious environmental problems facing the planet. Biodiversity loss has reached unprecedented levels. Climate change is progressing so rapidly that within this century we are likely to see substantial sea level rise. There has been dramatic loss of tropical rainforests. Plastic pollution is killing wildlife and polluting our oceans. Various movements old and new are addressing these green issues. Civil society activism has taken on new strategies with the emergence of new technologies and global networks of green activists have formed. A new generation of green activists are emerging and boldly criticizing the status quo. At the same time, in some parts of the world, green mov...
From Silence to Protest
The editors of this book examine social movement scholars’ use of contemporary concepts and paradigms in the study of protest as they analyse the extent to which these tools are valid (or not) in very different regional - and thus political or cultural - contexts. The authors posit that ’weakly resourced groups’ are a particularly useful point of departure to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of three key social movement schools of analysis: resource mobilization, political opportunity structures, and frame analysis. Some of the groups considered in this volume are financially disadvantaged, lacking money and work; others are economically disadvantaged, with members having precario...
Marges et marginalités au Brésil
Fait de paradoxe, d'instabilité et de mouvements, le Brésil contemporain est difficilement intelligible sur la base de la seule considération de la norme, du droit ou des dimensions formelles de la société brésilienne. Cet ouvrage en propose une approche par ses marges, omniprésentes sur le territoire et dans la société, sous forme matérielle ou imaginaire, et qui mettent en lumière les luttes de pouvoir à l'œuvre dans les pratiques, les représentations et les discours qui façonnent le monde social. Revendiquant une approche dynamique et interactionniste de marges constamment redéfinies, il aborde les dynamiques de leur production, gouvernement et (re)qualification, ainsi que...
Histórias da política autoritária
Este livro apresenta estudos feitos por pesquisadores de procedências variadas e se destaca pela diversidade das abordagens sobre política autoritária. Entre diversos outros temas, tenta responder, por exemplo, as seguintes questões: por que na Alemanha e na Itália se impuseram regimes fascistas? Que influência exerceram sobre países da América Latina? A publicação de uma obra que discute e problematiza o autoritarismo como forma política coloca na agenda do nosso tempo algo que nos é familiar e devemos compreender. O ato analítico e compreensivo parece, neste momento, a melhor forma de lidar com os desafios propostos pelas políticas de intolerância. Esperamos, como organizadores e autores, que este livro cumpra a tarefa de acrescentar mais um elemento crítico a esse debate.
