Politics and Parentela in Paraiba
This richly documented work focuses on the parentela (extended family), including Epitacio's, to illustrate the role bonds of blood, marriage, and friendship played in formal politics at local, state, and national levels throughout the Old Republic (1889-1930). Originally published in 1987. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
O Barroco na Paraíba: arte, religião e conquista
O Barroco existente na Paraíba pode ser considerado, se contraposto ao de outras localidades, como um referencial por sua peculiaridade no universo da conquista, ocupação e dominação portuguesa no litoral nordestino. O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar as ocorrências do Barroco em território paraibano, promovendo a discussão sobre o tema e abordando aspectos durante muito tempo relegados ao esquecimento, tal como a utilização do espaço sagrado como elemento incutidor de temor religioso e de hierarquia social, a partir da distribuição de elementos arquitetônicos imponentes num meio rústico como o da Colônia. A abordagem teórica presente no livro tem como base a visão de Pierre Bourdieu sobre o alcance dos símbolos na estruturação da sociedade, o conceito durkheimiano de representações individuais e coletivas e o entendimento de Michel Foucault sobre o poder e suas relações de força dentro da sociedade. Ao esmiuçar as pinturas e os monumentos, ao interpretá-los sob uma ótica simbólica e sociológica, pa autora pretende construir uma percepção mais nítida do período colonial na Paraíba.
Social Sciences
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Katherine D. McCann is acting editor for this volume. The subject categories for Volume 57 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Social Sciences Anthropology Economics Geography Government and Politics International Relations Sociology
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.
