Karl Marx
Com maestria e erudição, José Paulo Netto nos conta a história de Karl Marx neste livro fundamental, fruto de uma vida inteira dedicada ao estudo da obra marxiana. Entrelaçando realidade sociopolítica e aspectos da vida privada do biografado, o autor dá luz à trajetória do pensamento, da atividade política, da elaboração dos textos, dos afetos e desafetos – enfim, ao grande legado do criador do socialismo científico. Ao recorrer aos textos produzidos por Marx um a um, entremeando suas reflexões a uma ampla série de citações (escolhidas a dedo), José Paulo Netto oferece ao leitor um rico guia de leitura da vida e da obra de Marx. Também são convocados a participar dessa sinfonia textual outros biógrafos e comentaristas, tornando o quadro ainda mais complexo e instigante, sem nunca perder o fio. Trata-se de uma narrativa que se dá em dois tempos: além do texto principal (dividido em oito capítulos mais o epílogo), o livro conta com 1.006 imprescindíveis notas de fim. Esse portentoso conjunto, além de formar uma obra incontornável na área dos estudos marxistas, há também de ser celebrado pelos amantes das boas biografias.
Curriculum Studies in Brazil

Destructive Production, Agroecology and Schools of Agroecology in Brazil
The debate on “sustainable development”, ecosocialism, agroecology and the production of healthy food is increasing in Europe and in the world. This book depicts peasants' struggles for the resistance to the advance of destructive production. It also socializes the results of research, which shows us the pressage of alternative forms of labour, which are based upon agroecology, in cooperation and corporativism besides the emergence of agroecology schools of one of the main social movements of the present time: the Landless Movement.
Big Business and Dictatorships in Latin America
This edited volume studies the relationship between big business and the Latin American dictatorial regimes during the Cold War. The first section provides a general background about the contemporary history of business corporations and dictatorships in the twentieth century at the international level. The second section comprises chapters that analyze five national cases (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay and Peru), as well as a comparative analysis of the banking sector in the Southern Cone (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay). The third section presents six case studies of large companies in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Central America. This book is crucial reading because it provides the first comprehensive analysis of a key yet understudied topic in Cold War history in Latin America.
The Meanings of Work
Contrary to the affirmation of the end of labour, The Meanings of Work explore the complexity of the working class today; the sexual division of labour and transversalities between the dimensions of class and gender; globalisation of capital and labour.
Intellectuals and the Search for National Identity in Twentieth-Century Brazil
This book focuses on changing political thought in twentieth-century Brazil.
A defence of armed Art/Struggle
Such obsessive antinomian attitude and constraint, which I have provocatively termed “armed” struggle in the way to (rather than as the opposite of) peace, present as spirit, collective effervescence, combat, or phantasm in institutionalizing or constitutive rituals (exemplified by the oath by sceptre episode in classical literature, and often imagined as an original “contract” authorized by a generic “will” that legitimates law in modern literature), is represented under the political economy of the industrial-colonial regime in a state of suspension or “emergency”. In this respect, as suggested above, the “state of emergency” that according to Benjamin has become the rule isn’t the consequence of violence. On the contrary, it’s the attempt to suspend combat, to externally impose upon peoples a fictive unity (the unity of their ‘needs’) and to extract from peoples their ability to use force as well as do battle against the sovereign.
Controversies about History, Development and Revolution in Brazil
Controversies about History, Development and Revolution in Brazil is a critical exploration of the history of Brazilian economic thought in the light of the country’s own historical and political development. Editors Maria Malta, Jaime León, Carla Curty and Bruno Borja present an analytical interpretation of the facts, which reveals the power of debates constructing a genuinely Brazilian contribution to world economic thought on development, democracy, history, dependency, and revolution. Resulting from 10 years of collective research, this book incorporates a new methodological proposal stemming from the strength and resilience of public research financed by the Brazilian people in quest of their own formative interpretation. Contributors are: Bruno Borja, Carla Curty, Filipe Leite, Jaime León, Maria Malta, Larissa Mazolli, Alfredo Saad-Filho, and Wilson Vieira.
Brazilian Geography
This book presents the history and theoretical contributions of Brazilian geography since the late twentieth century and shows how this sphere of knowledge has been organically integrated with social and territorial issues and with social movements. The relationship between the subjects and objects of research in Brazilian geography has been centred on the understanding and transformation of realities marked by injustice and inequality. Against this backdrop, the geography of the country has developed by integrating, relating to, and forming part of those realities as it headed out into the streets. Brazilian geography continues to hold theoretical debate in high regard as a result of the influence of critical theory. This book thus covers the theoretical approaches in Brazilian geography, its different lines of research, and above all its character as manifested in culture and society.
