Progresso Obscuro
A Família Gonçalves, proprietária da Fazenda Ribeirão de Água Verde, ergueu em suas terras, na cidade de Guaiúba, um famoso casarão, tido atualmente como mal assombrado. A partir de depoimentos colhidos por populares e estudos bibliográficos, mesclamos ficção e realidade para contar a história da cidade, do estado e do país em seu aspecto social, político e econômico. Benedito Cabral, com esposa e filhos, são levados por esse contexto histórico a viverem no imóvel dos Gonçalves. Nele passam a serem usados pelos espíritos que ali vivem para resolver suas questões oriundas do período da escravidão. As dores trazidas n’alma desses escravos assim como de seu senhor, o coronel Hermiliano Gonçalves, dão à família de Benedito um clima de terror físico e psicológico tornando suas vidas insustentáveis. Cada tortura, exploração e outras formas de violência serão revividas pelos atuais moradores do chalé. Não adianta demolir. Uma obra histórica já está edificada em Água Verde. PROGRESSO OBSCURO, revive, analisa e repassa um Brasil do passado que permanece em nosso cotidiano, repleto de medos, incertezas e outras tantas questões culturais.

From Contention to Democracy addresses a crucial aspect of contemporary societies: the role of social movements for political and social change.

Individual occurrences such as the protest of French students in 1968 or Chilean shantytown dwellers are examined. The final essay looks ahead, wondering: what is the future of social movements?

During the 1980s and 1990s, Brazil struggled to rebuild its democracy after twenty years of military dictatorship, experiencing financial crises, corruption scandals, political protest, and intense electoral contention. In the midst of this turmoil, Ann Mische argues in this remarkable book, youth activists of various stripes played a vital and unrecognized role, contributing new forms of political talk and action to Brazil's emerging democracy. Drawing upon extensive and rich ethnography as well as formal network analysis, Mische tracks the lives of young activists through intersecting political networks, including student movements, church-based activism, political parties, nongovernmental...
