Emancipating the Female Sex
June E. Hahner’s pioneering work,Emancipating the Female Sex,offers the first comprehensive history of the struggle for women’s rights in Brazil. Based on previously undiscovered primary sources and fifteen years of research, Hahner’s study provides long-overdue recognition of the place of women in Latin American history. Hahner traces the history of Brazilian women’s fight for emancipation from its earliest manifestations in the mid-nineteenth century to the successful conclusion of the suffrage campaign in the 1930s. Drawing on interviews with surviving Brazilian suffragists and contemporary feminists as well as manuscripts and printed documents, Hahner explores the strategies and ideological positions of Brazilian feminists. In focusing on urban upper- and middle-class women, from whose ranks the leadership for change arose, she examines the relationship between feminism and social change in Brazil’s complex and highly stratified society.
Brazilian Women Speak
Twenty Brazilian women, including domestic servants, secretaries, nuns, hairdressers, prostitutes, schoolgirls, and entrepreneurs, discuss their lives.
The Churches and Democracy in Brazil
Brazil is a rapidly emerging country. Brazilian theology, namely the Theology of Liberation, has become well known in the 1970s and 1980s. The politically active Base Ecclesial Communities and the progressive posture of the Roman Catholic Church contrasted with a steadily growing number of evangelicals, mostly aligned with the military regime but attractive precisely to the poor. After democratic transition in the mid-1980s, the context changed considerably. Democracy, growing religious pluralism and mobility, a vibrant civil society, the political ascension of the Worker's Party and growing wealth, albeit within a continuously wide social gap, are some of the elements that show the need of ...
Engendering Democracy in Brazil
Brazil has the tragic distinction of having endured the longest military-authoritarian regime in South America. Yet the country is distinctive for another reason: in the 1970s and 1980s it witnessed the emergence and development of perhaps the largest, most diverse, most radical, and most successful women's movement in contemporary Latin America. This book tells the compelling story of the rise of progressive women's movements amidst the climate of political repression and economic crisis enveloping Brazil in the 1970s, and it devotes particular attention to the gender politics of the final stages of regime transition in the 1980s. Situating Brazil in a comparative theoretical framework, the...
Women, International Development
In the seven years since the first edition of this book, global attention has focused on some remarkable transitions to democracy on different continents. Unfortunately, those transitions have often failed to improve the situation of women, and democratic practices have not included women in government, homes, and workplaces. At the same time, non-governmental organizations have continued to expand a policy agenda with a concern for women, thanks to the Fourth World Congress on Women and a series of United Nations-affiliated meetings leading up to the one on population and development in Cairo in 1994 and, most important, the Beijing Conference in December 1995, attended by 50,000 people. Two new essays and a new conclusion reflect the upsurge of interest in women and development since 1990. An introductory essay by Sally Baden and Anne Marie Goetz focuses on the conflict over the term "gender" at the Beijing Conference and the continuing divisions between conservative women and feminists and also between representatives of the North and South.
Women, Culture, and Politics in Latin America
The result of a collaboration among eight women scholars, this collection examines the history of women’s participation in literary, journalistic, educational, and political activity in Latin American history, with special attention to the first half of this century.

Marxismo e PolÃtica
Quais e quantas combinações são possÃveis entre o marxismo e a ciência polÃtica? Em Marxismo e polÃtica: modos de usar, o cientista polÃtico Luis Felipe Miguel debate a relevância do marxismo para a análise da polÃtica. A obra busca introduzir e enfatizar a utilidade desse marco teórico para a produção de uma ciência polÃtica capaz de entender o mundo social e orientar a ação nele. Ao longo dos nove capÃtulos, o autor cruza diferentes temas da tradição marxista com o campo da ciência polÃtica, como as classes sociais, o Estado, o gênero, alienação e fetichismo e muitos outros. Em contrapartida, demonstra a importância de uma abertura do próprio marxismo ao diálog...
Regras para radicais
Publicado pela primeira vez em 1971, Regras para radicais, do estadunidense Saul Alinsky, foi escrito em meio a efervescências polÃticas como a Guerra do Vietnã e a luta pelos direitos civis. A obra, que desde então virou referência na formação de ativistas, apresenta os princÃpios teóricos e polÃticos do movimento de organização das comunidades estadunidenses, em especial as urbanas. Como um guia polÃtico, Regras para radicais traz ideias e orientações para mudanças sociais a partir de construções coletivas, além de abordar os princÃpios organizativos e de formação de lideranças populares. Na apresentação, Alessandra Orofino reflete sobre as mudanças da organizaçÃ...
Sociologia do Brasil
Em Sociologia do Brasil, o filósofo do direito Alysson Leandro Mascaro apresenta uma sistematização do pensamento social brasileiro produzido ao longo da história. O autor esmiúça as principais linhas desse debate a partir de três diferentes vertentes, a liberal, a não liberal e a crÃtica. "As lutas de classes e as lutas sociais, as disputas intelectuais e o domÃnio ideológico são responsáveis pelas modulações de interesses e perspectivas teóricas sobre o Brasil. A partir daÃ, dois caminhos se abrem. De um lado, naturalizando o capitalismo e tomando-o como base inexorável da ação polÃtica, são as leituras liberais que ganham posição social e intelectual dominante no f...
