Focus: Music, Nationalism, and the Making of the New Europe
Two decades after the fall of communism in Eastern Europe and one decade into the twenty-first century, European music remains one of the most powerful forces for shaping nationalism. Using intensive fieldwork throughout Europe -- from participation in alpine foot pilgrimages to studies of the grandest music spectacle anywhere in the world, the Eurovision Song Contest -- Philip V. Bohlman reveals the ways in which music and nationalism intersect in the shaping of the New Europe. Focus: Music, Nationalism, and the Making of the New Europe begins with the emergence of the European nation-state in the Middle Ages and extends across long periods during which Europe’s nations used music to comp...
Netuno
Nicole assustada colocou as mãos sobre a boca reprimindo um suspiro apavorado. Ela nunca tinha ouvido tantos adjetivos assustadores ao mesmo tempo e isso a fez tremer. O capitão Black sentiu vontade de rir da expressão que ela fizera. Olhando seus enormes olhos azuis se arregalando a deixou com cara de boneca e tão linda quando ela poderia ser em sua ingenuidade.

Ela repetiu mentalmente as palavras de Anthony de Luka na memória. “Ninguém aqui vai te ajudar”. Mas ela também se lembrou que ele a havia ajudado e ainda estava ajudando.

Amazons: A Love Story recounts an idealistic young woman’s coming of age against the backdrop of the magnificent rain forest and exotic city of Salvador.

Sent to Salvador (often called the “soul of Brazil” for its rich Afro-Brazilian cultur...

Governing the Rainforest
Sustainable development is often thought of as a product that can be obtained by following a prescribed course of interventions. Rather than conceptualizing it as a sweet spot of economic, ecological, and social balance, sustainable development is an ongoing process of embroilments requiring constant negotiation of often-competing aims. Sustainable development politics yield highly uneven results among different members of society and different geographic areas. As this book argues, such imbalances mean that sustainable development processes often prioritize economic over environmental goals, perpetuating and reinforcing economic and political inequalities. Governing the Rainforest looks at ...
