Public Diplomacy on the Front Line
The Exhibition of Modern Brazilian Paintings, held at the Royal Academy of Arts of London and seven other major venues throughout the United Kingdom in 1944 and 1945, was the first collective display of Brazil’s art shown in the United Kingdom and the largest ever sent abroad until then. It resulted from an initiative championed by the Brazilian Foreign Ministry and envisioned by 70 Modernist painters who donated 168 artworks as a contribution to the Allied War effort. Notwithstanding its historical relevance and unmatched scale, this event had never been academically investigated. Through exploring why and how successfully the Brazilian government devoted superlative efforts to this enter...
Comrades, Clients and Cousins
Colonized in the late 15th century, São Tomé and Príncipe were ruled by Portugal for 500 years, one of the longest periods of European domination in colonial history. In fact, during this period the Portuguese colonized the islands twice. Both colonizations were driven by the production of tropical cash crops; however, they occurred under rather different circumstances. Its long history as a plantation colony has made this African archipelago in many aspects more akin to the small Caribbean states. Since its decolonization in 1975 the small and impoverished country has experienced two fundamental changes to its political and economic system in a short period of 15 years. After embracing s...

The Family in Bahia, Brazil, 1870-1945
This history of the Brazilian family in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries studies the relationship between the informal institution of the family and such formal social institutions as medicine, the law, organized politics, and the church. The author focuses primarily on middle- and upper-class families (for whom adequate documentation is available) and shows the change from a patriarchal model of the family to one that was more conjugal and nuclear, a change necessitated by an insecure and urbanizing economy. Nevertheless, Bahian families maintained many traditional values and traditional kin networks. The author examines the daily life and dynamics of households, including what is kno...
Direito das Obrigações - Contratos em Especial - Volume I - 3a Edição
O presente livro tem por objeto o contrato de compra e venda. Trata-se de um dos principais contratos tipificados pelo nosso Código Civil e que suscita algumas das questões alpinas e temas mais complexos do Direito Civil. Atendendo à dimensão histórico-cultural do Direito, procede-se a uma análise histórica do contrato de compra e venda seguida de um estudo de Direito positivo a respeito da noção, dos efeitos, das modalidades de compra e venda, das perturbações típicas deste contrato e da compra e venda de bens de consumo. Por se saber hoje, numa perspetiva metodológica adequada, ser o prius metodológico o caso e afigurar-se a Jurisprudência (entendida em sentido amplo de forma a compreender tanto opinião dos jurisprudentes como as decisões dos tribunais) a fonte de Direito por excelência, procede-se, não apenas, a um diálogo com a Doutrina mas, além disso, com a jurisprudência (em sentido estrito) nacional.
