Rise and Decline of Brazil's New Unionism
This series publishes monographs and edited collections on the history, present condition and possible future role of organised labour around the world. Multidisciplinary in approach, geographically and chronologically diverse, this series is dedicated to the study of trade unionism and the undeniably significant role it has played in modern society.
Dissension and Tenacity
Doing theology requires dissension and tenacity. Dissension is required when scriptural texts, and the colonial bodies and traditions (read: Babylon) that capitalize upon those, inhibit or prohibit “rising to life.” With “nerves” to dissent, the attentions of the first cluster of essays extend to scriptures and theologies, to borders and native peoples. The title for the first cluster — “talking back with nerves, against Babylon” — appeals to the spirit of feminist (to talk back against patriarchy) and RastafarI (to chant down Babylon) critics. The essays in the second cluster — titled “persevering with tenacity, through shitstems” — testify that perseverance is possible, and it requires tenacity. Tenacity is required so that the oppressive systems of Babylon do not have the final word. These two clusters are framed by two chapters that set the tone and push back at the usual business of doing theology, inviting engagement with the wisdom and nerves of artists and poets, and two closing chapters that open up the conversation for further dissension and tenacity. Doing theology with dissension and tenacity is unending.
Automated Organizations
This book attempts to characterize a new organizational form that is now visible in many companies as a substitute of previous forms related to mechanized or mechanistic standards. The book is based on the approach of organizational structure and on Henry Mintzberg’s work on organizational configurations. As a matter of fact, it attempts to supplement and update Mintzberg's organizational taxonomy, taking into account changes in the structure and work organization of business firms. The book is written for all people whose work is related to organizations and who are interested in the subjects it deals with.
Taking the Wheel
In this study, the author (whose affiliation is not stated) discusses the auto parts sector as a microcosm of economic development in Brazil. He follows the introduction of a horizontal vision for the industry and the hybrid organizational practices of the Fifties and early Sixties, through the failure of the industry to consolidate, and the subsequent unraveling, and eventual partial reconstruction, of horizontal arrangements. Theoretical implications of the historical vision are also explored, as are the background and strategic ingredients of the industry's strategy for exports and competitiveness.

Exile within Exiles
Herbert Daniel was a significant and complex figure in Brazilian leftist revolutionary politics and social activism from the mid-1960s until his death in 1992. As a medical student, he joined a revolutionary guerrilla organization but was forced to conceal his sexual identity from his comrades, a situation Daniel described as internal exile. After a government crackdown, he spent much of the 1970s in Europe, where his political self-education continued. He returned to Brazil in 1981, becoming engaged in electoral politics and social activism to champion gay rights, feminism, and environmental justice, achieving global recognition for fighting discrimination against those with HIV/AIDS.

Cidade, trabalho e memória
"'Cidade, trabalho e memória' tem por objetivo investigar a representação sobre a construção de Brasília contida na memôria daqueles que vivenciaram e participaram do evento. A partir de relatos de 12 trabalhadores, escolhidos de forma a representar as diferentes categorias envolvidas nas obras da futura capital federal, Reinaldo Reis Jr. apresenta os 'candangos' - a quem a história oficial reservou os rótulos depreciativos de 'analfabetos', 'despreparados', 'sujos' - como protagonistas do evento, reinserindo-os na história por meio de suas experiências sociais. Complementando os documentos de história oral produzidos pelo Arquivo Público do Distrito Federal com outros registros - como jornais, dados do censo, queixas policiais, fotografias, filmes - o autor busca a complementaridade entre o discurso da memória e o discurso histórico, na dificil tarefa de vislumbrar o cotidiano dos trabalhadores migrantes nos canteiros de obra de Brasília"--Publisher's description, back cover.
