Global Ethnography
In this follow-up to the highly successful Ethnography Unbound, Michael Burawoy and nine colleagues break the bounds of conventional sociology, to explore the mutual shaping of local struggles and global forces. In contrast to the lofty debates between radical theorists, these nine studies excavate the dynamics and histories of globalization by extending out from the concrete, everyday world. The authors were participant observers in diverse struggles over extending citizenship, medicalizing breast cancer, dumping toxic waste, privatizing nursing homes, the degradation of work, the withdrawal of welfare rights, and the elaboration of body politics. From their insider vantage points, they sho...

Criados para facilitar o acesso descomplicado, rápido e efetivo à Justiça, os Juizados Especiais Cíveis resolvem causas que dizem respeito aos problemas cotidianos e menos complexos dos cidadãos.

Making Transnational Feminism
This ethnographic study examines the transnational relations among feminist movements at the end of the twentieth century, exploring two differently situated women’s organizations in the Northeast Brazilian state of Pernambuco. The conventional narrative of globalization tells the story of inexorable forces beyond the capacity of individuals to mute or transcend. But this study tells a different story, one of social actors purposefully weaving cross-border relationships. From this vantage point, global social forces are not immaculately conceived. Instead, they are constituted by human actors with their own interests and identities, located in particular social contexts. Making Transnational Feminism takes what some have called "global civil society" as its object, moving beyond both dire predictions and euphoric celebrations to understand how transnational political relationships are constructed and sustained across social and geographical divides. It also provides a compelling case study for use in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in globalization, gender studies, and social movements.
Brazilian Propaganda
In Brazilian Propaganda, Nina Schneider examines the various modes of official, and unofficial, propaganda used by an authoritarian regime. Such propaganda is commonly believed to be political, praising military figures and openly legitimizing state repression. However, Brazil's military dictatorship (1964-1985) launched seemingly apolitical official campaigns that were aesthetically appealing and ostensibly aimed to "enlighten" and "civilize." Some were produced as civilian-military collaborations and others were conducted by privately owned media, but undergirding them all was the theme of a country aspiring to become a developed nation. Focusing primarily on visual media, Schneider demons...

Temas em psicologia social (Vol. 3)
O livro Temas em Psicologia Social: mulheres e gêneros, em seu terceiro volume, aborda a categoria de gênero, a partir dos papéis estabelecidos a homens e mulheres na sociedade, considerando os aspectos socialmente construídos no processo de identificação sociocultural. Organizada em quinze capítulos, a obra discute, sob o viés da psicologia social, a temática de gênero voltando o olhar para o conceito de identidade, visto que a materialização do gênero ocorre por meio das relações sociais de modo paralelo à construção da identidade.
