Formal Education As Economic and Social Value and As an Object of the Social Sciences
This book explores the social conditions for valuing education and the limits of sociology in addressing this type of problem. It will appeal to readers interested in problems related to the different conditions for valuing schooling and those most directly concerned with the difficulties and limits of the social sciences. As the book argues, what is currently at stake in education is the need to specify and recognize the fundamentals and distinct logics. Its central idea is that the main limits and challenges refer to the conditions of autonomy of the social sciences in relation to the themes under study. These conditions tend to be even more challenging when dealing with themes and problems linked to higher social and cultural spheres and positions.
Social Segmentation and Clientelism in the Extreme West
This volume explores problems related to processes of importation and adaptation of Western cultural and institutional models and their effects on social structures. Among these problems, those related to the permanence of reciprocity ties in official institutions and their correlates, such as clientelism and corruption, stand out. The book will appeal to social scientists concerned with analytical problems and theoretical advances in relation to the issues at hand, as well as the wider public concerned with the trends and results of the importation of Western models in the processes of transforming social structures, especially in "extra-Western" societies.

Liberators, Patriots and Leaders of Latin America
This book features biographies of 32 of the most notable figures in Latin American history. To the 23 individuals from the first edition, consisting mostly of revolutionary, political, and military figures of the past, are added nine new biographies of contemporary Latin American presidents, providing an updated view of the region's leadership. Several patterns run through the individual biographies. The concept of native identity is an important aspect in the stories of Malinche, Juarez, Sandino, and Zapata--profoundly affecting the politics of modern Brazil, Mexico, and Nicaragua. One also sees a continuing compulsion to rebel against overwhelming odds in the cases of Manuela Saenz, Che Guevara and Daniel Ortega.
As ciências sociais e os espaços da política no Brasil
Dado o predomínio na ciência política brasileira de perspectivas marcadas por uma progressiva dessociologização dos objetos de estudo, há de se destacar a relevância atribuída pelos autores a dimensões como o peso do patrimônio de recursos sociais dos agentes em diferentes momentos de seus trajetos e em disputas travadas nos mais diversos domínios da vida social, valorizando informações relativas a seu background social e cultural e aos contextos históricos em que se desenrolam. A proposta deste livro filia-se diretamente a um movimento de renovação dos estudos sobre a política no Brasil e é fruto de intensas discussões conduzidas por cientistas políticos, sociólogos e antropólogos alocados em laboratórios e grupos de pesquisa diversos e, em especial, debatidas publicamente em mesas-redondas em reuniões da Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Sociais (Anpocs) e da Associação Brasileira de Ciência Política (ABCP) entre 2009 e 2012.
