The Sorcery of Color
An examination of how racial and gender hierarchies are intertwined in Brazil.
Violence and Desire in Brazilian Lesbian Relationships
In Violence and Desire in Brazilian Lesbian Relationships, Allen examines the lives of Brazilian women in same-sex relationships. This examination contributes to interdisciplinary discussions of female same-sex sexuality, violence, race, and citizenship. Using fifteen months of ethnographic fieldwork, primarily with Afro-Brazilian women in the city of Salvador da Bahia, Allen argues that Brazilian lesbian women reject Brazilian cultural norms that encourage male domination and female submission through their engagement in romantic relationships with each other. At the same time Allen claims lesbian women also reproduce Brazilian cultural ideals that associate passion, intensity, and power with physical dominance through their engagement in infidelity and intimate partner violence. The book demonstrates that lesbian women are nonetheless marginalized as Brazilian citizens through widespread social and political invisibility despite these apparent displays of masculinized power.
Amapá - a mineiração e o discurso da sustentabilidade
A atividade mineradora no Amapá, e no Brasil, é cercada de conflitos socioambientais na medida em que detém, necessariamente, um conjunto de impactos negativos sobre a natureza. (...) O campo de resolução dos conflitos poderia perfeitamente ser aquele desenhado atualmente, de forma hegemônica, sobre a denominação de desenvolvimento sustentável, na medida em que as empresas chamam para si este denotativo. No entanto, o campo da sustentabilidade é escorregadio e impreciso. Marco Chagas registra esta questão mostrando os debates, entraves e oposições que marcam esse terreno. Inclusive com menções à corrente, hoje crescente, do decrescimento ou dos limites do crescimento. Afinal, conclui o autor, falta uma base de formulação teórica que contribua com o entendimento do que se pode entender como "o campo de reflexão epistemológica aplica à sustentabilidade da mineração."
The AIDS Pandemic in Latin America
Of the more than 40 million people around the world currently living with HIV/AIDS, two million live in Latin America and the Caribbean. In an engaging chronicle illuminated by his travels in the region, Shawn Smallman shows how the varying histories and cultures of the nations of Latin America have influenced the course of the pandemic. He demonstrates that a disease spread in an intimate manner is profoundly shaped by impersonal forces. In Latin America, Smallman explains, the AIDS pandemic has fractured into a series of subepidemics, driven by different factors in each country. Examining cultural issues and public policies at the country, regional, and global levels, he discusses why HIV ...

The Kiss of Death
Chagas' disease has become one of the major public-health problems in Latin America. Current estimates are that sixteen to eighteen million people are infected. It is caused by a flagellate protozoan whose vector is the triatomine or vinchuca bug, locally referred to as the "kissing bug" because of its tendency to lodge on victims' faces during sleep. Although there is no cure for the chronic stage, the disease vectors can be controlled and possibly eliminated through improved hygiene and living conditions. No longer exclusive to Latin America, Chagas' disease is spreading to North America with the migration of infected bugs, hosts, transfusions, transplant organs, and changes in climate. The Kiss of Death is a thorough study of Chagas' disease with analysis of research involving epidemiology, entomology, parasitology, pathology, and immunology.
South America and Peace Operations
This volume is the first English-language work to focus specifically on South America in the context of peace operations. The region of South America has been undergoing significant changes recently with regard to its attitudes towards participation in peace operations. Leaving behind a strong reluctance with regard to intervention, the states have recently taken on a much stronger presence among UN peacekeepers. The foremost showcase of this more robust and responsible stance has been MINUSTAH, the current UN mission in Haiti. South American contributors provide over half the operation’s troops, and the Force Commander is provided by Brazil. This book is intended as an introduction for re...
