Teoria econômica marxista
Em edição revista e ampliada, esta obra do historiador, professor e escritor argentino Osvaldo Coggiola, publicada originalmente em 1998, apresenta os fundamentos da teoria econômica formulada por Karl Marx. De forma didática, Coggiola identifica e desvenda os aspectos centrais da principal obra do filósofo alemão, como capital, mercadoria, valor, mais-valor e trabalho. O texto é resultado de um curso de formação política do Partido Obrero (PO) da Argentina, realizado em 1981, nas condições de clandestinidade que eram as da ditadura militar argentina da época. Desse modo, o livro parte da experiência imediata do trabalhador para tornar os conceitos marxistas mais acessíveis, configurando uma primorosa obra introdutória à teoria econômica de Marx.
Rojo Amanecer
Con el inicio del nuevo siglo, América Latina volvió a ser uno de los centros de la atención política mundial. La emergencia de una nueva "ola de izquierda" en el continente no es un fenómeno episódico, pues hunde sus raíces en el fracaso, económico y político, de los regímenes llamados neoliberales, y expresa también la crisis de la política mundial del imperialismo dominante, los EEUU. En la raíz del fenómeno, sin embargo, encontramos la continuidad y profundización de la crisis mundial de la producción capitalista, y la reacción, desigual pero enconada, de las masas latinoamericanas a la degradación de sus condiciones de existencia sociales y nacionales. El marco histór...
The Churches and Democracy in Brazil
Brazil is a rapidly emerging country. Brazilian theology, namely the Theology of Liberation, has become well known in the 1970s and 1980s. The politically active Base Ecclesial Communities and the progressive posture of the Roman Catholic Church contrasted with a steadily growing number of evangelicals, mostly aligned with the military regime but attractive precisely to the poor. After democratic transition in the mid-1980s, the context changed considerably. Democracy, growing religious pluralism and mobility, a vibrant civil society, the political ascension of the Worker's Party and growing wealth, albeit within a continuously wide social gap, are some of the elements that show the need of ...
South American Independence
The struggles for independence in Latin America during the first half of the nineteenth century were accompanied by a wide-ranging debate about political rights, nationality and citizenship. In South American Independence, Catherine Davies, Claire Brewster and Hilary Owen investigate the neglected role of gender in that discussion. Examining women writers from Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Colombia, the book traces the contradictions inherent in revolutionary movements that, while arguing for the rights of all, remained ambivalent, at best, about the place of women. Through studies of both published and unpublished writings, South American Independence reveals the complex role of women in shaping the vexed ideologies of independence.
A New Model Society
Globalised neoliberal capitalism continues to entrench inequality, environmental degradation, and social division. The Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST), or Brazilian Landless Movement, offer us a route beyond any theoretical impasse or reluctant acquiescence to the enduring social and economic status quo. Through time spent working and living among the MST many of their defining features and activities are mapped. These include land occupations; the organisation of work co-operatively; the practising of agro-ecology; implementation of gender quotas for community leadership positions; and the application of principles based upon the ‘common good’. These represent just some of the experiences, challenges, and lessons we as a global community can learn from MST communities as we think about alternative futures.

The Prisms of Gramsci
In this work Marcos Del Roio analyses Gramsci's pre-prison political-theoretical activity in light of a radical thesis: that throughout Gramsci's life we see a total continuity between his political praxis and his philosophical reflection.
The Politics of the Precariat: From Populism to Lulista Hegemony
Making use of the theoretical tools of Marxist critical sociology, Ruy Braga proposes an innovative reading of the social history of Brazil – from Fordist populism to the Lulista hegemony – using the ‘politics of the Precariat’ as an analytical vector.
The Woodbine Parish Report on the Revolutions in South America (1822)
This book presents the unpublished intelligence report “South America”, written in 1822 by Woodbine Parish, clerk at the Foreign Office, Castlereagh's private secretary and later the first British Consul to Buenos Aires. The document is transcribed, analysed and fully contextualised in order to foreground its decisive historical significance. The aim of Parish’s report was to outline British foreign policy and political strategy towards the South American revolutions at the final Congress of the Holy Alliance, held in Verona. Its publication contributes to the ongoing debates on Informal Empire, providing new empirical evidence that will enable us to better understand the social conten...
