Insurgentes Brasílicos
A obra Insurgentes brasílicos: uma comunidade indígena rebelde no Espírito Santo colonial, tem como mote analisar e apresentar aos leitores a história e os desdobramentos que cernem uma das maiores revoltas indígenas que ocorreram em solo brasileiro, mais precisamente no aldeamento de Reritiba, no Espirito Santo. O autor, ao longo dos capítulos, relata as motivações da insurgência indígena, colocando sempre o indígena em posição de protagonismo, além das reivindicações dos nativos, que passavam por questões como a autonomia em relação aos missionários.
Feitiço caboclo
Ambientado no Brasil setecentista, o livro delineia as andanças de Miguel Ferreira Pestana entre o Espírito Santo e o Rio de Janeiro, destacando os contatos que teve com as práticas mágicas e a religiosidade que circulavam na América Portuguesa – peças fundamentais para a elucidação das interações constantes existentes entre os índios aldeados e o mundo colonial. Quebrando o paradigma do índio passivo e submisso, alheio às transformações sociais impostas pela ordem edificada na América Portuguesa, a trajetória deste indígena se notabiliza, acima de tudo, pelos diferentes contextos nos quais ele conviveu e pelo esforço pessoal despendido para encontrar seu lugar na hierarquia social.
Current Trends in the Historiography of Inquisitions
This volume launches the book series of “Inquire – International Centre for Research on Inquisitions” of the University of Bologna, a research network that engages with the history of religious justice from the 13th to the 20th century. This first publication offers twenty chapters that take stock of the current historiography on medieval and early modern Inquisitions (the Spanish, Portuguese and Roman Inquisitions) and their modern continuations. Through the analysis of specific questions related to religious repression in Europe and the Iberian colonial territories extending from the Middle Ages to today, the contributions here examine the history of the perception of tribunals and the most recent historiographical trends. New research perspectives thus emerge on a subject that continues to intrigue those interested in the practices of justice and censorship, the history of religious dissent and the genesis of intolerance in the Western world and beyond.

Complex Systems in Sport
Complex systems in nature are those with many interacting parts, all capable of influencing global system outcomes. There is a growing body of research that has modeled sport performance from a complexity sciences perspective, studying the behavior of individual athletes and sports teams as emergent phenomena which self-organise under interacting constraints. This book is the first to bring together experts studying complex systems in the context of sport from across the world to collate core theoretical ideas, current methodologies and existing data into one comprehensive resource. It offers new methods of analysis for investigating representative complex sport movements and actions at an individual and team level, exploring the application of methodologies from the complexity sciences in the context of sports performance and the organization of sport practice. Complex Systems in Sport is important reading for any advanced student or researcher working in sport and exercise science, sports coaching, kinesiology or human movement.

Insignificant Things
In Insignificant Things Matthew Francis Rarey traces the history of the African-associated amulets that enslaved and other marginalized people carried as tools of survival in the Black Atlantic world from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries. Often considered visually benign by white Europeans, these amulet pouches, commonly known as “mandingas,” were used across Africa, Brazil, and Portugal and contained myriad objects, from herbs and Islamic prayers to shells and coins. Drawing on Arabic-language narratives from the West African Sahel, the archives of the Portuguese Inquisition, sixteenth- and seventeenth-century European travel and merchant accounts of the West African Coast, and early nineteenth-century Brazilian police records, Rarey shows how mandingas functioned as portable archives of their makers’ experiences of enslavement, displacement, and diaspora. He presents them as examples of the visual culture of enslavement and critical to conceptualizing Black Atlantic art history. Ultimately, Rarey looks to the archives of transatlantic slavery, which were meant to erase Black life, for objects like the mandingas that were created to protect it.
