Cativas litigantes
Este livro revela que os povos originários da terra a que hoje chamamos Brasil há muito tempo recorrem à justiça como uma das arenas possíveis de luta contra o avanço da colonização sobre seus corpos e territórios. Quem ainda se surpreende com advogados indígenas defendendo os "parentes" nas mais altas instâncias judiciais do país e do mundo devia saber que seus antepassados já moviam processos nas cortes coloniais desde pelo menos o século XVIII, recorrendo das decisões, se preciso, até que o assunto fosse apreciado pelo rei de Portugal. Eis as "cativas litigantes" descritas nestas páginas: indígenas, sobretudo mulheres, que foram aos tribunais da época com o objetivo de libertar a si e a seus familiares da escravidão a que estavam submetidas nas regiões do Pará e do Maranhão — e, na maioria das vezes, conseguiram. Com esta premiada pesquisa, Luma Ribeiro Prado ilumina questões pouco conhecidas da história dos povos ancestrais e do protagonismo das mulheres indígenas em um incessante e admirável processo de resistência ao apagamento.

New Approaches to the Comparative Abolition in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans
Taking the theme of 'abolition' as its point of departure, this book builds on the significant growth in scholarship on unfree labour in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean worlds during the past two decades.

It was originally published as a special issue of the journal, Atlantic Studies: Global Currents.
O Brasil de Florestan
Organizado pelo doutor em filosofia Antônio David, este livro reúne artigos e resenhas de difícil acesso escritos por Florestan Fernandes entre 1943 e 1991. Incluindo dois manuscritos inéditos, os textos desta coletânea têm como fio condutor a preocupação do autor de oferecer um quadro interpretativo do Brasil. "Do sociólogo ao socialista, seria fácil ver uma ruptura no pensamento de Florestan Fernandes. Mas o que aqui se comprova é que as continuidades são também muito fortes. Na época em que Florestan liderou a institucionalização da Sociologia no Brasil, suas escolhas repousaram sobre os deserdados da terra, os indígenas, os negros, as crianças e a cultura popular. O Bra...

As the twenty-first century faces a crisis of democracy and sustainability, this book tries to bring academics and globalisation activists into conversation.

Mechanisms of antibiotic resistance
Antibiotics represent one of the most successful forms of therapy in medicine. But the efficiency of antibiotics is compromised by the growing number of antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Antibiotic resistance, which is implicated in elevated morbidity and mortality rates as well as in the increased treatment costs, is considered to be one of the major global public health threats (www.who.int/drugresistance/en/) and the magnitude of the problem recently prompted a number of international and national bodies to take actions to protect the public (http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/health_consumer/docs/road-map-amr_en.pdf: http://www.who.int/drugresistance/amr_global_action_plan/en/; http://www.whitehouse....
