Deeply Rooted in the Present
Based on ethnographic fieldwork, interviews, and historical research, this book uses a Brazilian quilombola community (descendants of enslaved Africans) as a case study to explore how memories, knowledge, and experience are transformed into cultural heritage.
Tecendo vidas e sonhos
As histórias reunidas neste livro narram, em primeiro plano, profundas transformações que o Brasil enfrentou nos últimos cinquenta anos. O leitor terá acesso a documentos de pesquisa na forma de transcrição de entrevistas realizadas com trabalhadores de origem rural, do sertão paraibano, que testemunharam o que nos contam. A tela de fundo que se constrói a partir daí é o amplo e variado processo das migrações, da mercantilização do trabalho, da restrição do acesso à terra, que os impele a disputar a sobrevivência em outros lugares.
Conceiving the Future
Through nostalgic idealizations of motherhood, family, and the home, influential leaders in early twentieth-century America constructed and legitimated a range of reforms that promoted human reproduction. Their pronatalism emerged from a modernist conviction that reproduction and population could be regulated. European countries sought to regulate or encourage reproduction through legislation; America, by contrast, fostered ideological and cultural ideas of pronatalism through what Laura Lovett calls "nostalgic modernism," which romanticized agrarianism and promoted scientific racism and eugenics. Lovett looks closely at the ideologies of five influential American figures: Mary Lease's mater...
Sugarcane Labor Migration in Brazil
This book examines the experiences of seasonal, migrant sugarcane workers in Brazil, analyzing the deep-seated inequalities pervasive in contemporary Brazil. Education, employment, income, health, and relative political power are forefront in this study of the living and working conditions of the transient population. Based on ten years of qualitative research dominated by in-depth interviews with migrant sugarcane workers, this project argues that the ills of the sugarcane industry are symptomatic of an overarching problem of unequal access to opportunities by all Brazilian citizens. The project is unique in its use of a single industry as an expression of the multifarious problems of socioeconomic, regional, and racial inequality. The author explores details of the labor migration experience with a central premise that the conditions are not a direct outcome of the industry, but rather a manifestation of fundamental inequalities rooted in Brazil’s colonial history.
Labor Relations in Globalized Food
This book looks at labor in agriculture and food in a global era by studying salient characteristics of the conditions and use of labor in global agri-food. Written by experienced and also emerging scholars, the chapters present a wealth of empirical data and robust theorizations that allow readers to grasp the complexity of this topic.
Migrações
O processo de migração é parte inerente do movimento de constituição da nação brasileira. Até a década de 1930, a imigração internacional dominou o processo. Desde então, ele é resultado da mobilidade interna da população. Nos anos 1980 e 1990, o país conheceu a experiência de uma pequena emigração internacional. Na década passada, foi retomada a imigração internacional, em especial daquela oriunda dos países limítrofes. Além disso, se observou alterações na densidade e nos vetores de destino da migração interna. O livro apresenta uma reflexão abrangente das características e das tendências históricas e recentes da migração no país, algumas delas como resu...
