Fifty Years of Peasant Wars in Latin America
Informed by Eric Wolf’s Peasant Wars of the Twentieth Century, published in 1969, this book examines selected peasant struggles in seven Latin American countries during the last fifty years and suggests the continuing relevance of Wolf’s approach. The seven case studies are preceded by an Introduction in which the editors assess the continuing relevance of Wolf’s political economy. The book concludes with Gavin Smith’s reflection on reading Eric Wolf as a public intellectual today.

Environmental History of Modern Migrations
In the age of climate change, the possibility that dramatic environmental transformations might cause the dislocation of millions of people has become not only a matter for scientific speculation or science-fiction narratives, but the object of strategic planning and military analysis. Environmental History of Modern Migrations offers a worldwide perspective on the history of migrations throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and provides an opportunity to reflect on the global ecological transformations and developments which have occurred throughout the last few centuries. With a primary focus on the environment/migration nexus, this book advocates that global environmental changes are not distinct from global social transformations. Instead, it offers a progressive method of combining environmental and social history, which manages to both encompass and transcend current approaches to environmental justice issues. This edited collection will be of great interest to students and practitioners of environmental history and migration studies, as well as those with an interest in history and sociology.
The Oxford Handbook of Latin American Social Movements
Since the re-democratization of much of Latin America in the 1980s and a regional wave of anti-austerity protests in the 1990s, social movement studies has become an important part of sociological, political, and anthropological scholarship on the region. The subdiscipline has framed debates about formal and informal politics, spatial and relational processes, as well as economic changes in Latin America. While there is an abundant literature on particular movements in different countries across the region, there is limited coverage of the approaches, debates, and theoretical understandings of social movement studies applied to Latin America. In The Oxford Handbook of Latin American Social M...
Peopling for Profit in Imperial Brazil
Peopling for Profit provides a comprehensive history of migration to nineteenth-century imperial Brazil. Rather than focus on Brazilian slavery or the mass immigration of the end of the century, José Juan Pérez Meléndez examines the orchestrated efforts of migrant recruitment, transport to, and settlement in post-independence Brazil. The book explores Brazil's connections to global colonization drives and migratory movements, unveiling how the Brazilian Empire's engagement with privately run colonization models from overseas crucially informed the domestic sphere. It further reveals that the rise of a for-profit colonization model indelibly shaped Brazilian peopling processes and governance by creating a feedback loop between migration management and government formation. Pérez Meléndez sheds new light on how directed migrations and the business of colonization shaped Brazilian demography as well as enduring social, racial, and class inequalities. This title is part of the Flip it Open programme and may also be available Open Access. Check our website Cambridge Core for details.
Vivir es muy peligroso
Estos textos fueron pensados originalmente como fichas de cátedra. La idea de transformarlos en libro -sostiene el autor- tiene el propósito de divulgar la historia de parte de los "sectores populares" brasileños, poco conocida entre los lectores de habla hispana. Parado sobre la tradición thompsoniana, Doeswijk nos ofrece una "historia de los de abajo" que intenta rescatar sus puntos de vista y sus experiencias de lucha. Con esas premisas, lo interesante de su trabajo es tratar de dilucidar el contenido de clase de esos enfrentamientos, es decir, quiénes son en términos sociales sus protagonistas. Con ese propósito, el autor sugiere algunas hipótesis que nos permiten entender quién...
Fronteiras de uma guerra
A presente obra aborda aspectos referentes as relações internacionais e a imigração no estado de Santa Catarina durante o movimento social do Contestado. A partir da redução da escala de análise das fontes/documentos que remetem a casos de mortes, prisões, saques, incêndios criminosos e chacinas envolvendo imigrantes europeus, a autora apresenta e discute questões de proporções macro, como as consequências de tais casos nas relações internacionais entre Brasil e os países europeus que fomentavam política imigratória brasileira.
Revolta e esperança
A Guerra do Contestado abordada no domínio da grande literatura poderia quiçá ser denominada: A guerra dos esquecidos, assim como Mário Vargas Llosa no campo ?ccional alcunhou de A guerra do Fim do Mundo sua obra inspirada na Guerra de Canudos e não por acaso sobre Antônio Conselheiro nos foi dado a conhecer, por outro lado o monge José Maria de Santo Agostinho pouco habita nossa memória. No entanto, no con?ito ocorrido no oeste catarinense como no combate em terras baianas o título ‘A guerra dos Mundos’ explanaria muito acerca dos dois con?itos.
