Routledge Handbook of Afro-Latin American Studies
This Handbook provides a comprehensive roadmap to the burgeoning area of Afro-Latin American Studies. Afro-Latins as a civilization developed during the period of slavery, obtaining cultural contributions from Indigenous and European worlds, while today they are enriched by new social configurations derived from contemporary migrations from Africa. The essays collected in this volume speak to scientific production that has been promoted in the region from the humanities and social sciences with the aim of understanding the phenomenon of the African diaspora as a specific civilizing element. With contributions from world-leading figures in their fields overseen by an eminent international editorial board, this Handbook features original, authoritative articles organized in four coherent parts: • Disciplinary Studies; • Problem Focused Fields; • Regional and Country Approaches; • Pioneers of Afro-Latin American Studies. The Routledge Handbook of Afro-Latin American Studies will not only serve as the major reference text in the area of Afro-Latin American Studies but will also provide the agenda for future new research.

Way of Death
This acclaimed history of Portuguese and Brazilian slaving in the southern Atlantic is now available in paperback. With extraordinary skill, Joseph C. Miller explores the complex relationships among the separate economies of Africa, Europe, and the South Atlantic that collectively supported the slave trade. He places the grim history of the trade itself within the context of the rise of merchant capitalism in the eighteenth century. Throughout, Miller illuminates the experiences of the slaves themselves, reconstructing what can be known of their sufferings at the hands of their buyers and sellers.

Domenico Losurdo, Um Farsante Na Terra Dos Papagaios
De Farsantes e Papagaios Com o passar dos anos, em seus escritos e em sua vida, o historiador Mário Maestri nunca parou de aguçar a capacidade de conciliar seriedade e ironia, sabedor da importância da sátira na crítica social e política, sobretudo para desvendar as contradições sociais fortemente entranhadas. Foi nesse estilo e com essa preocupação que escreveu Losurdo, um Farsante de Sucesso na Terra dos Papagaios: Ensaios sobre o Estalinismo e Neo-Estalinismo no Brasil. Sobretudo nesse trabalho, creio, foi preciso, desconstruir constantemente as aparências para chegar à essência, no emaranhado campo político. Espaço em que, mesmo para grande parte da chamada esquerda, não ...
Paraguai: A República Camponesa (1810 - 1865)
O processo de grandes transformações que agitou toda a bacia do rio da Prata em meados do século 19 e que teve seu ponto de inflexão na Guerra da Tríplice Aliança (1864-1870) deve ser analisado, para a sua real compreensão, no contexto de um conjunto de determinantes históricas, entre as quais está a consolidação da nação paraguaia. Com rigor, produto de profundo conhecimento do tema, mas através de um relato ameno e agradável, o historiador Mário Maestri nos apresenta no presente estudo - Paraguai: a república camponesa: 1810-1860 - latifundiários, caudilhos, escravos, comerciantes, a exploração indígena, membros da igreja, a ditadura francista, e, fundamentalmente, o c...
Antonio Gramsci
De seu nascimento, em 28 de janeiro de 1891, no pequeno município de Alés no centro-oeste da Sardenha, até a morte, em 27 de abril de 1937, em uma clínica de Roma, após quase doze anos em cárcere fascista, Antonio Sebastiano Francesco Gramsci percorreu um caminho longo, difícil, conturbado, mas também mais intenso e inusiado do que imaginaria o adolescente frágil que concluiu, em 1911, o segundo-grau no Liceo classico de Cagliari. O Gramsci imortal para milhões de pessoas foi, como diríamos hoje, um homem polivalente – dirigente e teórico político, interessado em linguística-dialetal, história, literatura, etc. Sempre vi seu retrato, ao lado do de Palmiro Togliatti, na casa ...
