Reclaiming the Political in Latin American History
Reclaiming the Political in Latin American History is a collection that embraces a new social and cultural history of Latin America that is not divorced from politics and other arenas of power. True to the intellectual vision of Brazilian historian Emilia Viotti da Costa, one of Latin America’s most distinguished scholars, the contributors actively revisit the political—as both a theme of historical analysis and a stance for historical practice—to investigate the ways in which power, agency, and Latin American identity have been transformed over the past few decades. Taking careful stock of the state of historical writing on Latin America, the volume delineates current historiographica...
Until the Storm Passes
A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org. Until the Storm Passes reveals how Brazil's 1964–1985 military dictatorship contributed to its own demise by alienating the civilian political elites who initially helped bring it to power. Based on exhaustive research conducted in nearly twenty archives in five countries, as well as on oral histories with surviving politicians from the period, this book tells the surprising story of how the alternatingly self-interested and heroic resistance of the political class contributed decisively to Brazil's democratization. As they gradually turned against military rule, politicians began to embrace a political role for the masses that most of them would never have accepted in 1964, thus setting the stage for the breathtaking expansion of democracy that Brazil enjoyed over the next three decades.
Corruption and Democracy in Latin America
Corruption has blurred, and in some cases blinded, the vision of democracy in many Latin American nations. Weakened institutions and policies have facilitated the rise of corrupt leadership, election fraud, bribery, and clientelism. Corruption and Democracy in Latin America presents a groundbreaking national and regional study that provides policy analysis and prescription through a wide-ranging methodological, empirical, and theoretical survey. The contributors offer analysis of key topics, including: factors that differentiate Latin American corruption from that of other regions; the relationship of public policy to corruption in regional perspective; patterns and types of corruption; publ...

Mesjasze i millennia pustkowia
Celem dociekań Autora jest przede wszystkim ustalenie, czy brazylijskie ruchy społeczno-religijne miały millenarystyczno-mesjanistyczny charakter, ale zakres zebranych i wykorzystanych przez niego materiałów znacząco wykracza poza nakreślony temat (…), co dowodzi jego ogromnej erudycji oraz gruntownej znajomości całego iberoamerykańskiego obszaru kulturowego (…). Z książki tej czytelnik dowie się zatem dużo więcej, niż obiecuje jej tytuł. I będzie to dodatkowo lektura nie tylko pouczająca, ale także bardzo przyjemna. dr Renata Siuda-Ambroziak W obszarze zainteresowania autora jest w szczególności (choć nie tylko) obszar północno-wschodniej Brazylii – rozległy ...
