Three Ways to Fail
How do we learn what failure looks like? During the years anthropologist Magnus Course spent living with Indigenous Mapuche people in southern Chile, he came to understand failure—both his own and those of the discipline of anthropology—through Mapuche narratives of the witch, the clown, and the usurper. In a context of enduring poverty and racism, increasing state repression, and his own disintegration, he began to realize that these figures of failure, and their insatiable appetites for destruction, greed, and property, reflected as much upon his own failings as on anybody else’s, but also showed the way forward to a better way to live. Set amidst the stunning natural beauty and political tragedies of southern Chile, Three Ways to Fail is the story of what it means to become a part of other people’s lives, of what it means to fail them, and of what it means to live well when everything falls apart. Grounded in three decades of work and collaboration with Mapuche people, Three Ways to Fail sheds new light on Indigenous lifeways in the Americas while grappling with broader questions about the nature of ethnographic writing and the future of anthropology.
Siuatamatik: Diversidade de Gênero Nahua
Siuatamatik: diversidade de gênero nahua explora os fenômenos em torno da constituição da pessoa kuilot, alguém que não se atém aos parâmetros de gênero binário num contexto nahua do centro do México.

Nesse processo, o livro esmiuça relações entre cosmovisão, afetividade, conhecimento, sexualidade, violência sexual e produção de parentesco na constituição do corpo e da ...

Nem vertical nem horizontal
Nos anos 2010, uma onda de mobilizações em massa descritas como "horizontais" e "sem líderes" varreu o planeta, prometendo democracia real e justiça para os 99%. Muitos viram seu subsequente desaparecimento como prova da necessidade de voltar àquilo que um dia se chamou de "questão da organização". Mas apesar de ser algo tão frequentemente descrito como essencial, a organização política ainda é um campo surpreendentemente pouco teorizado. Neste livro, Rodrigo Nunes propõe remediar essa falta começando do zero: redefinindo os termos do problema, ele rejeita a confusão entre organização e as formas que ela pode assumir, tais como o partido, e argumenta que a organização dev...

The Deadlock of Democracy in Brazil
Many countries have experimented with different electoral rules in order either to increase involvement in the political system or make it easier to form stable governments. Barry Ames explores this important topic in one of the world's most populous and important democracies, Brazil. This book locates one of the sources of Brazil's "crisis of governance" in the nation's unique electoral system, a system that produces a multiplicity of weak parties and individualistic, pork-oriented politicians with little accountability to citizens. It explains the government's difficulties in adopting innovative policies by examining electoral rules, cabinet formation, executive-legislative conflict, party...
African Slave Trade and Its Suppression
First Published in 2005. The task of compiling a bibliography of the African slave trade is a difficult one as the literature comprises books, pamphlets and periodical articles in a variety of languages from the sixteenth century to the present day. This title aspires to present a representative selection of the material available and serve as a guide to the main categories of printed material on the subject in western languages. Due to their pre-existing availability and overwhelming quantity, government publications have been kept to a minimum.
