O Vale do Itabapoana

Esta obra investiga a formação socioespacial do vale do Itabapoana capixaba, durante a expansão da produção de café, entre os séculos XIX e XX. O autor analisa a evolução social e econômica do vale do Itabapoana, dando ênfase às trajetórias dos personagens, em seus conflitos e paixões vividos numa zona de fronteira agrícola, tudo isso abordado e devidamente analisado pela ótica do processo de acumulação impetrado na região, que percorre os caminhos do fim da escravidão e da crise do café. Os estudos aqui reunidos analisam a constituição da estrutura produtiva do vale do Itabapoana e investigam as trajetórias de clãs e famílias (Gomes de Aguiar, Furtado (Avelino) de Mendonça, Aguiar Vallim, Carvalho e outras) que participaram do avanço da frente pioneira no vale. Neste sentido, o trabalho apreende a geografia histórica da região por intermédio da análise da produção de seu espaço, com a finalidade de enxergar a formação social e econômica da região como um processo de regionalização de atividades e práticas sociais.

Espaço de batalha e urbicídio na cidade do Rio de Janeiro

"Espaço de batalha e urbicídio na cidade do Rio de Janeiro" é um livro, ao mesmo tempo, ousado, atual e extremamente necessário para compreender dois fenômenos chave da contemporaneidade: a exacerbação da violência e a militarização que a acompanha, tudo isso envolvido numa releitura da "construção do espaço" em que a (necro)política policial – simultaneamente "legal" e "ilegal" – tem um papel cada vez mais decisivo. Através dos discursos armamentistas emblemáticos de líderes de extrema direita que chegam ao poder, como Duterte nas Filipinas e Bolsonaro no Brasil, temos o ápice desses tempos em que a maior violência, a da desigualdade, é atacada não em sua fonte, que é profunda e sistêmica, mas apenas em alguns de seus efeitos, na perversa contenção territorial e militarizada das classes e grupos mais subalternizados.

Social Exclusion and Mobility in Brazil

Social Exclusion and Mobility in Brazil

Brazil is a country of sharp disparities. The gap between the richest and the poorest citizens is one of the largest in the world. Inequality in Brazil is well-known, but its low mobility is not. Until now, few studies have sought to investigate how forms of social exclusion constrain socioeconomic mobility. Why do particular groups remain excluded and trapped in poverty for generations? What do Brazilians themselves think about income inequality and social mobility? This study explores these issues, provides a set of options to redress them, and promotes a national dialogue for action. In addi.

City of Walls

"This is an extraordinary treatment of a difficult problem. . . . Much more than a conventional comparative study, City of Walls is a genuinely transcultural, transnational work—the first of its kind that I have read."—George E. Marcus, author of Ethnography Through Thick & Thin "Caldeira's work is wonderfully ambitious-theoretically bold, ethnographically rich, historically specific. Anyone who cares about the condition and future of cities, of democracy, of human rights should read this book."—Thomas Bender, Director of the Project on Cities and Urban Knowledges "City of Walls is a brilliant analysis of the dynamics of urban fear. The sophistication of Caldeira's arguments should sti...

This book showcases experiences from research, field projects and best practice in climate change adaptation in countries in the Latin American region, focusing on managing vulnerability and fostering resilience. It includes a selection of papers presented at a specialist symposium on climate change adaptation held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in November 2016.Consistent with the need for more cross-sectoral interaction among the various stakeholders working in the field of climate change adaptation in Latin America, the book documents and disseminates the wealth of experiences in the region. It is divided into two main parts: Part 1 addresses the current and future impacts of climate change on fauna, flora and landscapes, while Part 2 is concerned with the socio-economic aspects of climate change adaptation, analyzing some of the main problems prevailing in this vulnerable region and examining ways to address them.

Crafting Labor Policy

Despite success in other areas of economic reform over the past ten years, Argentina, Brazil, and Chile continue to face significant labour policy issues. This volume contains a number of papers which discuss these regional issues with a focus on the period 1995-98. Many of the papers have been co-authored by leading labour economists and are based on work sponsored by the World Bank. The book also includes an introductory chapter which summarises labour market reforms in Latin America since the late 1980's, as well as a concluding chapter which analyses the main results and policy implications for the region.
