Contact Strategies
Around the year 1800, independent Native groups still effectively controlled about half the territory of the Americas. How did they maintain their political autonomy and territorial sovereignty, hundreds of years after the arrival of Europeans? In a study that spans the eighteenth to twentieth centuries and ranges across the vast interior of South America, Heather F. Roller examines this history of power and persistence from the vantage point of autonomous Native peoples in Brazil. The central argument of the book is that Indigenous groups took the initiative in their contacts with Brazilian society. Rather than fleeing or evading contact, Native peoples actively sought to appropriate what w...
Native Brazil
This volume is a significant contribution to understanding the ways Brazil's native peoples shaped their own histories.
Connecting Worlds
This book establishes a dialogue between colonial studies and the history of science, contributing to a renewed analytical framework grounded on a trans-national, trans-cultural and trans-imperial perspective. It proposes a historiographical revision based on self-organization and cooperation theories, as well as the role of traditionally marginalized agents, including women, in processes that contributed to the building of a First Global Age, from 1400 to 1800. The intermediaries between European and local bearers of knowledge played a central role, together with cultural translation processes involving local practices of knowledge production and the global circulation of persons, commoditi...
Comunicação, Cultura e Identidade: volume 1 - Folkcomunicação no Tocantins
A obra Comunicação, Cultura e Identidade reúne artigos que abordam a cultura popular e o folclore a partir de sua conexão com a comunicação, apresentando esses elementos como processos mediadores na promoção da visibilidade de grupos marginalizados e na constituição da identidade cultural do Tocantins. A partir do olhar microssocial, os textos da coletânea estabelecem conexões com as questões macrossociais de nosso tempo, pois a forma como interagimos, as escolhas que fazemos, as músicas que compartilhamos nas relações privadas e interpessoais, enfim, dão as pistas para o entendimento das sociedades. Devido a isso, esta obra interessará tanto aos que compartilham o cotidian...
Guaraná
In this sweeping chronicle of guarana—a glossy-leaved Amazonian vine packed with more caffeine than any other plant—Seth Garfield develops a wide-ranging approach to the history of Brazil itself. The story begins with guarana as the pre-Columbian cultivar of the Satere-Mawe people in the Lower Amazon region, where it figured centrally in the Indigenous nation's origin stories, dietary regimes, and communal ceremonies. During subsequent centuries of Portuguese colonialism and Brazilian rule, guarana was reformulated by settlers, scientists, folklorists, food technologists, and marketers. Whether in search of pleasure, profits, professional distinction, or patriotic markers, promoters impa...
Before Brasília
Before Brasília offers an in-depth exploration of life in the captaincy of Goiás during the late colonial and early national period of Brazilian history. Karasch effectively counters the “decadence” narrative that has dominated the historiography of Goiás. She shifts the focus from the declining white elite to an expanding free population of color, basing her conclusions on sources previously unavailable to scholars that allow her to meaningfully analyze the impacts of geography and ethnography. Karasch studies the progression of this society as it evolved from the slaving frontier of the seventeenth century to a majority free population of color by 1835. As populations of indigenous and African captives and their descendants grew throughout Brazil, so did resistance and violent opposition to slavery. This comprehensive work explores the development of frontier violence and the enslavements that ultimately led to the consolidation of white rule over a majority population of color, both free and enslaved.

A REINVENÇÃO TIRIYÓ NA MISSÃO RELIGIOSA CATÓLICA ENTRE AS DÉCADAS DE 1960 A 1980
A observação do casal indígena Honório Kaxuyana e a esposa Maria Arense Tiriyó na fotografia (imagem 19), apresentada nesse livro, possibilita muitas leituras, reflexões e questões. Estaria a Maria Tiriyó com um sorriso irônico? E o Honório com uma postura de altivez?! Quais significados a fotografia apresenta sobre o contexto vivenciado pelos indígenas? O índio Kaxuyana com o corpo pintado e uma espécie de cordão cingindo os ombros; a indígena Tiriyó com o rosto pintado, colares ou panos azul e vermelho que descem do pescoço, e mais um pano vermelho no ombro direito cobrindo-o parcialmente, talvez cordões entrelaçados coloridos na parte superior do braço. Marido e esposa...
