Frontiers of Citizenship
Frontiers of Citizenship is an engagingly-written, innovative history of Brazil's black and indigenous people that redefines our understanding of slavery, citizenship, and the origins of Brazil's 'racial democracy'. Through groundbreaking archival research that brings the stories of slaves, Indians, and settlers to life, Yuko Miki challenges the widespread idea that Brazilian Indians 'disappeared' during the colonial era, paving the way for the birth of Latin America's largest black nation. Focusing on the postcolonial settlement of the Atlantic frontier and Rio de Janeiro, Miki argues that the exclusion and inequality of indigenous and African-descended people became embedded in the very construction of Brazil's remarkably inclusive nationhood. She demonstrates that to understand the full scope of central themes in Latin American history - race and national identity, unequal citizenship, popular politics, and slavery and abolition - one must engage the histories of both the African diaspora and the indigenous Americas.

The Archaeology of Slavery
The Archaeology of Slavery grapples with both the benefits and complications of a comparative approach to the archaeology of slavery. Contributors from different archaeological subfields, including American, African, prehistoric, and historical, consider how to define slavery, identify it in the archaeological record, and study slavery as a diachronic process that covers enslavement to emancipation and beyond. Themes include how to define slavery, how to identify slavery archaeologically, enslavement and emancipation, and the politics and ethics of slavery-related research.
The Amazonian Puzzle
In the Brazilian Amazon region, cultural “mixture” is expressed in the interaction of city and hinterland, of Indigenous and Black, of religiosity and politics. By examining the multiple cultural and ethnic threads that traverse this landscape, The Amazonian Puzzle sets out to show how the category of caboclo (a powerful spiritual entity to some, and to others a despised peasant of mixed ancestry) reveals deep currents of ethnic recompositions, religious interpenetration, and social hierarchy. These Amazonian dynamics are explored through the lens of ethnography, sociology, and history.

Arrancados da terra
A grande travessia dos pioneiros que formaram a primeira comunidade judaica das Américas, no Recife, e ajudaram a construir Nova York, contada por um dos maiores biógrafos da atualidade. Em setembro de 1654, um grupo de 23 refugiados desembarcou em Nova Amsterdam, colônia holandesa na costa oriental da América do Norte. Eram homens e mulheres, adultos e crianças, possivelmente sobreviventes de uma odisseia iniciada meses antes nas praias de Pernambuco. Exaustos, esfarrapados e sem dinheiro, fugiam da Inquisição, reavivada nas capitanias do Nordeste depois da vitória luso-brasileira na guerra contra a ocupação holandesa. Os primeiros judeus da ilha de Manhattan, assim como seus pare...
Paranambuco
Baseado numa tese de doutorado em História defendida na USP, o livro busca, nas palavras da autora, "reordenar questões" atinentes à ocupação portuguesa do espaço pernambucano nos séculos XVI e XVII. Lançando mão de dados arqueológicos, fontes históricas escritas e percepções cartográficas, a autora mostra que a conquista dos espaços ameríndios constituiu um processo profundamente imbricado numa complexa trama de guerra, aliança, mestiçagem e exploração do trabalho. O livro traz informações detalhadas sobre a localização de espaços indígenas pré-coloniais e coloniais. Em anexo, a autora inclui belas reproduções de mapas coloniais e dados complementares sobre a ocupação portuguesa do território.
