Terms of Exchange
A collective intellectual biography that sheds new light on the Annales school, structuralism, and racial democracy. Would the most recognizable ideas in the French social sciences have developed without the influence of Brazilian intellectuals? While any study of Brazilian social sciences acknowledges the influence of French scholars, Ian Merkel argues the reverse is also true: the “French” social sciences were profoundly marked by Brazilian intellectual thought, particularly through the University of São Paulo. Through the idea of the “cluster,” Merkel traces the intertwined networks of Claude Lévi-Strauss, Fernand Braudel, Roger Bastide, and Pierre Monbeig as they overlapped at ...
Festivals and Heritage in Latin America
This book explores a variety of heritage dialogues, from global and specific approaches, combining different views, perceptions and senses. Following the first volume on Latin American Heritage as published in this book series in 2019, this new volume focuses on music, dance and railway heritage, considering artistic, archaeological, natural, ethnological and industrial aspects.

The Oxford History of Historical Writing
The fifth volume of The Oxford History of Historical Writing offers essays by leading scholars on the writing of history globally since 1945. Divided into two parts, part one selects and surveys theoretical and interdisciplinary approaches to history, and part two examines select national and regional historiographies throughout the world. It aims at once to provide an authoritative survey of the field and to provoke cross-cultural comparisons. This is chronologically the last of five volumes in a series that explores representations of the past across the globe from the beginning of writing to the present day.
The Brazilian Left in the 21st Century
This book aims to reconstruct the role played by left movements and organizations in Brazil from their process of renewal in the 1980s as they fought against the civil-military dictatorship, going through the Workers' Party's governments in the 2000s, until the Party’s dramatic defeat with a parliamentary coup in 2016. Henceforth, there have been attacks on social and political rights that severely affect the lower classes and reverted progressive policies on various issues. Through a historical reconstruction, this book analyzes how different left movements and organizations contributed to the democratization of Brazilian society, and how their contradictions contributed to the actual conservative turn. The essays also focus the development of Brazilian Left in the light of socialist politics and especially Marxism, both in terms of political organizations and theory. In this sense, the essays in this collection represent an effort to rethink some aspects of the history of the Brazilian left and how it can reorganize itself after the conservative turn.

Os Povos Indígenas e os Sertões das Minas do Ouro no Século XVIII
Brasil, 1730. Uma guerra sem tréguas está sendo travada pelos povos indígenas contra os invasores portugueses que adentram os sertões, essas grandes terras de limites fluidos no interior do Brasil, ricas em ouro e pedras preciosas. As armas portuguesas são a bíblia e a bala. O objetivo dos invasores é ocupar, pela eliminação física e simbólica, as terras dos povos nativos fazendo desaparecer os sujeitos, seus modos de vida e sua cultura. Qualquer semelhança com o Brasil atual não e mera coincidência e revela o extermínio desses povos como política de Estado. Nessa guerra de armas desproporcionais, os povos que habitam, de forma nômade, esses territórios resistem. Nesta obra a historiadora Núbia Braga Ribeiro investiga o Brasil do século 18 que ressoa no cerne do Brasil do século 21. Uma leitura essencial para todos.
