Convict Labor in the Portuguese Empire, 1740-1932
Forced convict labor provided the Portuguese with solutions to the growing criminal population at home and the lack of infrastructure in Angola and Mozambique. In Convict Labor in the Portuguese Empire, Timothy J. Coates examines the role of large numbers of convicts in Portuguese Africa from 1800 until 1932. This work examines the numbers, rationale, and realities of convict labor (largely) in Angola during this period, but Mozambique is a secondary area, as well as late colonial times in Brazil. This is a unique, first study of an experiment in convict labor in Africa directed by a European power; it will be welcomed by scholars of Africa and New Imperialism, as well as those interested in law and labor.

The Shadow of Ulysses
Written by one of the most promising young scholars on the Mexican intellectual scene, The Shadow of Ulysses attempts to reconnect the American and Mexican intellectual experiences by exploring historical as well as contemporary issues in both countries. The book's first chapters discuss the relationship between American and Mexican intellectuals in the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution and offer a sociological comparison of the 1960s intellectual generations in the United States and Mexico. Later chapters provide a critical assessment of two prominent Mexican public intellectuals well known to the American reader: Carlos Fuentes and Jorge Castaneda. The Shadow of Ulysses, the Mexican edition of which was awarded the Alfonso Reyes National Prize, offers a rare glimpse into the development of contemporary Mexican thought and reveals the under-recognized intellectual ties that existed between our two countries in the first half of the twentieth century.

From American Empire to América Cósmica through Philosophy
From American Empire to América Cósmica through Philosophy: Prospero's Reflection envisions a greater ideal American philosophy that integrates philosophies from across the Americas and is set to work resolving the problems that vex the peoples of the Americas.

Following in the tradition of cultural theorists ...
Por um ensino menor de filosofia
Este livro tem como finalidade propor um conceito dentro da área das Ciências Humanas, entendido como ensino menor de filosofia. No primeiro momento, buscou-se fundamentar o conceito em questão analisando o encontro do ensino menor com a afroperspectividade, passando depois pela compreensão e apropriação dos componentes do conceito de literatura menor em Deleuze e Guattari — que são a desterritorialização da língua, a ligação do indivíduo no imediato-político e o agenciamento coletivo de enunciação. Os encontros e apropriações desses componentes fundamentaram a presente proposta de ensino menor de filosofia, que foi um processo de criação realizado por meio de um métod...
