A greve de 1917
Um protesto iniciado em uma tecelagem, no bairro paulistano da Mooca, há um século, marcou definitivamente a luta dos trabalhadores em nosso país. As condições de vida eram tremendamente precárias. Não havia leis trabalhistas, não havia garantias para as mulheres e o trabalho infantil era regra, por ser mais barato e mais fácil de controlar. Numa conjuntura de guerra, crise econômica e carestia, a inquietação localizada se espalhou. O patronato respondeu com os argumentos de sempre: pau, bala e demissões. Mas, daquela vez, a agressão não funcionou. A revolta se espalhou por outras fábricas e pelo comércio. Quando os bondes pararam, São Paulo parou junto. Multidões tomaram ...

Colombo
Poucas figuras na história, como Cristóvão Colombo, tiveram um número tão grande de biógrafos e uma atenção tão freqüente da parte de estudiosos, de qualquer gênero. Talvez porque ele representa emblematicamente os anos que marcaram o início da integração planetária, construída entre gestos audaciosos, grandes progressos da técnica e horrores indescritíveis. Globalização, integração planetária, temas atuais. Movimento de ocupação do planeta – vivido outrora por Colombo. Esta obra poderá ser um ponto de reflexão sobre os caminhos que estamos trilhando. Este trabalho sugere alguns pontos para a reflexão, através da exploração do ambiente econômico, social, religioso e sobretudo do imaginário coletivo no qual se preparou e consumou a empresa do almirante do mar-oceano.
Contesting Development
At a time when the development promise is increasingly in question, with dwindling social gains, the vision of modernity is losing its legitimacy and coherence. This moment is observable through the lens of critical struggles of those who experience disempowerment, displacement and development contradictions. In this book, case studies serve as an effective means of teaching key concepts and theories in the sociology of development. This collection of cases, all original, never previously published and with framing essays by Phillip McMichael, has been written with this purpose in mind. An important additional feature is that the book as a whole reveals the limiting assumptions of development and suggests alternate conditions of possibility for social existence in the world today. In that sense, the book pushes the boundaries of "thinking about development" and makes an important theoretical contribution to the literature.
Women and the Mafia
The insightful essays in this book shine a new light on the roles of women within criminal networks, roles that in reality are often less traditional than researchers used to think. The book seeks to answer questions from a wide range of academic disciplines and traces the portrait of women tied to organized crime in Italy and around the world. The book offers up accounts of mafia women, and also tales of severe abuse and violence against women.
Italy's Many Diasporas
Italy's residents are a migratory people. Since 1800 well over 27 million left home, but over half also returned home again. As cosmopolitans, exiles, and 'workers of the world' they transformed their homeland and many of the countries where they worked or settled abroad. But did they form a diaspora? Migrants maintained firm ties to native villages, cities and families. Few felt much loyalty to a larger nation of Italians. Rather than form a 'nation unbound,' the transnational lives of Italy's migrants kept alive international regional cultures that challenged the hegemony of national states around the world. This ambitious and theoretically innovative overview examines the social, cultural and economic integration of Italian migrants. It explores their complex yet distinctive identity and their relationship with their homeland taking a comprehensive approach.
