In Amazonia
The Amazon is not what it seems. As Hugh Raffles shows us in this captivating and innovative book, the world's last great wilderness has been transformed again and again by human activity. In Amazonia brings to life an Amazon whose allure and reality lie as much, or more, in what people have made of it as in what nature has wrought. It casts new light on centuries of encounter while describing the dramatic remaking of a sweeping landscape by residents of one small community in the Brazilian Amazon. Combining richly textured ethnographic research and lively historical analysis, Raffles weaves a fascinating story that changes our understanding of this region and challenges us to rethink what w...

Le Brésil de Lula
Comment interpréter la victoire de Luis Inacio " Lula " da Silva aux élections présidentielles et la progression générale du Parti des travailleurs dans les différents scrutins d'octobre 2002 ? Les Brésiliens ont-ils soudainement pris conscience du risque de voir se reproduire chez eux le séisme économique et social qui a jeté leurs voisins argentins dans une misère jusque-là impensable ? Le recul du pouvoir d'achat des classes moyennes brésiliennes depuis 1999 suffit-il à expliquer leur ralliement à la candidature de Lula ?

Le Brésil de Lula
La conquête démocratique de l'Etat fédéral par un parti politique fondé en 1980 sur une triple base, syndicale, catholique progressiste et socialiste, signifie au minimum l'arrivée au pouvoir de dirigeants qui voient dans le libéralisme imposé une idéologie visant à légitimer l'approfondissement des inégalités tant internes qu'internationales. Si le nouveau gouvernement, qui a pris ses fonctions en janvier 2003, s'emploie dans un premier temps à maintenir, voire améliorer, les grands équilibres macro-économiques, les premières mesures montrent son choix de relancer la croissance économique en élargissant la demande intérieure "par le bas".

Snow Flowers
Snow Flowers is a rare study by one of the 1,300 Hungarian Jewish inmates who were "eased out" by the SS to Junkers Company to produce airplane parts in Markkleeberg, Germany. Working conditions and profits shed light on slave labor establishments. Describing prisoners' ways of coping, their spiritual world addresses the question of how it was possible to live in the camp. A recurring theme is the experience of the author and her teenage sister. The 250 French political resistance fighters in the camp shared the death march and the anguish of the Allied bombing. Russian soldiers bent on sexual exploitation were the first disappointment after liberation. Homecoming and life of the survivor are recounted in the concluding chapters. The eight years of research on this book was prompted by the query of a Markkleeberg school teacher. German archival documents, songs, diaries written in the camp, and the testimonies of 110 fellow survivors provide a collective and a personal narrative. The book is part of a traveling exhibit, "The Forgotten Women of Buchenwald." Dr. Stessel is a retired librarian from The New York Public Library.
