Quem sou eu? O que direi a este povo? Por que ele me seguirá? E se o povo não me escutar? Quem falará por mim? As indagações de Moisés, quando chamado para libertar o povo do Egito, talvez sejam as mesmas inquietações de um candidato ao ser chamado para liderar um processo político. A partir da trajetória de Moisés, o autor busca orientar o candidato a responder todas essas questões, inicialmente elaborando a sua narrativa eleitoral (povo, candidato e contexto) para ter sucesso na sua jornada eleitoral. Moisés não estava sozinho na missão, outro aspecto explorado pelo autor, terá auxiliares com tarefas especificas. O Autor demonstra que Moisés tinha domínio do contexto de s...
A construção desse livro foi fruto de nosso estágio pós-doutoral no Programa de Pós-graduação em Desenvolvimento Rural na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, tendo como principal motivação a lacuna percebida, quando do doutoramento na Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná/Campus Toledo, no Programa de Pós-graduação em Desenvolvimento Regional e Agronegócio (PGDRA/UNIOESTE), em que trabalhamos com a temática do desenvolvimento rural na Amazônia brasileira. A falta de um material bibliográfico que desse conta de evidenciar, histórica e descritivamente, sobre as políticas públicas de desenvolvimento na região, pormenorizando os diversos planos, ações e estratég...
Could a father sacrifice his daughters to save humanity? Seven years after a man-made biological disaster kills every fertile woman on Earth, the new global government kidnaps the surviving pre-pubescent girls, forcibly locking them away in sanctuaries to "keep them safe" from fathers that would sterilize them to save their lives. Artemis E is one such sanctuary, protected by an armed militia known as Guardians, and staffed by Novas, women who survived the disaster due to infertility. Former police chief Asher Drake joins the Guardians to be close to his two young daughters, who are imprisoned there. He discovers that Artemis E has a stowaway fugitive, his former lover, Suri Sinha, who may be the only fertile woman left alive Reunited after many years, Asher must now protect Suri from everyone who is hunting for her: the desperate men who want to use her, the lost boys that want to love her, and the scientists that want to experiment on her. Meanwhile, Asher learns that his daughters are not as safe at Artemis E as he believed, and that the government has secret plans for their future. Suri and Asher must learn to trust each other again to save them all, and the world.
Cut Adrift makes an important and original contribution to the national conversation about inequality and risk in American society. Set against the backdrop of rising economic insecurity and rolled-up safety nets, Marianne CooperÕs probing analysis explores what keeps Americans up at night. Through poignant case studies, she reveals what families are concerned about, how they manage their anxiety, whose job it is to worry, and how social class shapes all of these dynamics, including what is even worth worrying about in the first place.Ê This powerful study is packed with intriguing discoveries ranging from the surprising anxieties of the rich to the critical role of women in keeping struggling families afloat.Ê Through tales of stalwart stoicism, heart-wrenching worry, marital angst, and religious conviction, Cut Adrift deepens our understanding of how families are coping in a go-it-alone ageÑand how the different strategies on which affluent, middle-class, and poor families rely upon not only reflect inequality, but fuel it.

Black Feminist Sociology offers new writings by established and emerging scholars working in a Black feminist tradition. The book centers Black feminist sociology (BFS) within the sociology canon and widens is to feature Black feminist sociologists both outside the US and the academy. Inspired by a BFS lens, the essays are critical, personal, political and oriented toward social justice. Key themes include the origins of BFS, expositions of BFS orientations to research that extend disciplinary norms, and contradictions of the pleasures and costs of such an approach both academically and personally. Authors explore their own sociological legacy of intellectual development to raise critical questions of intellectual thought and self-reflexivity. The book highlights the dynamism of BFS so future generations of scholars can expand upon and beyond the book’s key themes.
"Every once in a great while, there arises a young psychiatrist with entirely new rehabilitation ideas for helping patients retrieve their lives from psychosis. Usually such ideas initially elicit significant negative reactions from peers, but a handful of sturdy physicians have continued on to show the world that something different is possible—including George Brooks of the United States, E. E. Antinnen of Finland, and Franco Basaglia of Italy. Now we have to add to this list of illustrious doctors the name of Alberto Fergusson of Colombia”. (Extract of the "Foreword”)"
In recent years there has been an outpouring of work at the intersection of social movement thoery, organizational theory, economic, and political sociology. The problems at the core of these areas, Fligstein and McAdam argue, have a similar analytic and theoretical structure. Synthesizing much of this work, A Theory of Fields offers a general perspective on how to understand the problems related to understanding change and instability in modern, complex societies through a theory of strategic action fields.
