The Guaraní and Their Missions
The thirty Guaraní missions of the Río de la Plata were the largest and most prosperous of all the Catholic missions established throughout the frontier regions of the Americas to convert, acculturate, and incorporate indigenous peoples and their lands into the Spanish and Portuguese empires. But between 1768 and 1800, the mission population fell by almost half and the economy became insolvent. This unique socioeconomic history provides a coherent and comprehensive explanation for the missions' operation and decline, providing readers with an understanding of the material changes experienced by the Guaraní in their day-to-day lives. Although the mission economy funded operations, sustaine...

Oxford Handbook of Commodities History
"Commodities provide a lens through which local and global histories can be understood and written. The study of commodities history follows these goods as they make their way from land and water through processing and trade to eventual consumption. It is a fast-developing field with collaborative, comparative, and interdisciplinary research, with new information technologies becoming increasingly important. Although many individual researchers continue to focus on particular commodities and regions, they often do so in partnership with others working on different areas and employing a range of theoretical and methodological approaches, placing commodities history at the forefront of local a...
Rio de Janeiro in the Global Meat Market, c. 1850 to c. 1930
This book examines the meat provision system of Rio de Janeiro from the 1850s to the 1930s. Until the 1920s, Rio was Brazil’s economic hub, main industrial city, and prime consumer market. Meat consumption was an indicator of living standards and a matter of public concern. The work unveils that in the second half of the nineteenth century, the city was well supplied with red meat. Initially, dwellers relied mostly on salted meat; then, in the latter decades of the 1800s, two sets of changes upgraded fresh meat deliveries. First, ranching expansion and transportation innovation in southeast and central-west Brazil guaranteed a continuous flow of cattle to Rio. Second, the municipal centralization of meat processing and distribution made its provision regular and predictable. By the early twentieth century, fresh meat replaced salted meat in the urban marketplace. This study examines these developments in light of national and global developments in the livestock and meat industries.

Agrarismos
O termo "agrarismos" escolhido para encabeçar o título, reflete uma perspectiva compartilhada por seus doze autores: analisar o mundo rural a partir de um olhar inclusivo. Sua utilização no plural busca semantizar as diversidades de realidades a serem abordadas, diversidades estas que se dão no tempo e no espaço. A obra reúne questões do mundo rural contemporâneo em nove países da América Latina: Argentina, Bolívia, Brasil, Chile, Colômbia, Cuba, Paraguai, Peru e Uruguai, assim como as experiências de pesquisas de historiadores, sociólogos e antropólogos sobre o mundo agrário latino-americano. Lutas camponesas, resistências, processo de paz na Colômbia, impactos socioambientais do "desenvolvimento", saúde, trabalho, controle social na fronteira amazônica, produção de soja na Bolívia e Paraguai, preços agrários nos primórdios da commoditização, reformas agrárias, cidadania e propriedade de terra. Temas que não esgotam as possibilidades de abordagens e que representam um leque significativo dos problemas que estão sendo estudados pela História, Antropologia e Sociologia na conjuntura atual.
