Fronteiras abertas da América Latina
O presente livro reúne algumas das contribuições mais destacadas do XXVIII Congresso da Associação Latinoamericana de Sociologia (ALAS), que ocorreu na cidade do Recife, no mês de setembro de 2011, com a presença de um público importante de quase cinco mil participantes. O sucesso do encontro se deve, em parte, ao destaque que os organizadores do evento demos ao tema das novas fronteiras disciplinares e geográficas da América Latina para se pensar os desafios contemporâneos de desenvolvimento do pensamento crÃtico na região em consonância com as transformações do pensamento global. Como articular as perspectivas de generalização de um pensamento sociológico produzido regionalmente com as perspectivas de adequação regional e local de um pensamento global? Essa foi uma interrogação que atravessou todo o debate. (...)
Fairytales for Lost Children
FAIRYTALES FOR LOST CHILDREN is narrated by people constantly on the verge of self-revelation.

Advances in Child Development and Behavior
The Advances in Child Behavior and Development series has a well-deserved reputation for publishing seminal articles that move established programs of developmental scholarship forward in creative new directions. Consistent with this reputation, the articles in Volume 33 of the series offer ground-breaking work on topics as diverse as children's problem-solving strategies, intentionality, mathematical reasoning, and socialization within and beyond school settings. Although the substantive topics differ, what unites the contributions are their uniformly high level of scholarship, creativity, theoretical sophistication, and attention to developmental processes. The volume is thus valuable not ...
Território, economia urbana e conflitos territoriais
"A presente obra reúne textos que propõem discutir temas atuais a partir de uma visão ampla e crÃtica inscrita na área de humanidades, com base em um diálogo interdisciplinar entre a Economia, a Geografia, a Sociologia e outros campos. Trata-se de um diálogo salutar, porque apoiado numa pluralidade de perspectivas, contribuindo para o entendimento e para a reflexão de dinâmicas contraditórias que envolvem cidades e territórios na contemporaneidade. O teor desta proposta está bem representado na ideia do caleidoscópio, objeto técnico que permite observar, a cada movimento, combinações variadas de efeito visual. Por um lado, remete a uma diversidade de formas e cores – condiÃ...
The Wine of Astonishment
Earl Lovelace writes about the survival of a small community of Spiritual Baptists with a lyricism and understanding of dialogue which has established an international reputation. 'If we clap we hands and catch the Spirit, the police could arrest us. One day we was Baptist, the next day we is criminals.' The Wine of Astonishment is a poignant and devastating tale of the discrimination the Black community of Bonasse faced during the first half of the 20th century. Told from the perspective of a religious wife, Eva retells the torment and tribulations her family and friends endure at the hands of abusive police and corrupt government officials. Hurtling towards its tragic climax, Bolo's transformation embodies the tragedy manifested when a people are pushed too far.
