The work of Bryan D. Palmer, one of North America’s leading historians, has influenced the fields of labour history, social history, discourse analysis, communist history, and Canadian history, as well as the theoretical frameworks surrounding them. Palmer’s work reveals a life dedicated to dissent and the difficult task of imagining alternatives by understanding the past in all of its contradictions, victories, and failures. Dissenting Traditions gathers Palmer’s contemporaries, students, and sometimes critics to examine and expand on the topics and themes that have defined Palmer’s career, from labour history to Marxism and communist politics. Paying attention to Palmer’s partici...

From Revolution to Power in Brazil: How Radical Leftists Embraced Capitalism and Struggled with Leadership examines terrorism from a new angle. Kenneth Serbin portrays a generation of Brazilian resistance fighters and militants struggling to rebuild their lives after suffering torture and military defeat by the harsh dictatorship that took control with the support of the United States in 1964, exiting in 1985. Based on two decades of research and more than three hundred hours of interviews with former members of the revolutionary organization National Liberating Action, Serbin’s is the first book to bring the story of Brazil’s long night of dictatorship into the present. It explores Braz...
A economia brasileira cresceu de forma extraordinária até 1980. Depois, cresceu a uma taxa quatro vezes menor até 2014, quando entrou em grave recessão. Desde 2017, voltou a crescer, mas muito lentamente, enquanto uma direita liberal e uma esquerda desorientada nada têm a oferecer ao país. Quando o Brasil voltará a ter um projeto de nação e desenvolvimento? As elites liberais dizem que isso não é necessário - que basta disciplina fiscal, o resto o mercado resolve. A esquerda populista diz que basta aumentar a despesa pública e os salários. Para Bresser-Pereira, esses dois caminhos estão equivocados. Ele concorda com os pós-keynesianos, que é preciso manter a demanda agregada, e com os desenvolvimentistas, que é preciso reindustrializar o Brasil, mas é preciso mais do que isso.
Au début du XXIe siècle, la « vague de gauche » en Amérique Latine a suscité de nombreuses expectatives sociales et politiques. Vingt ans plus tard, un bilan s’impose. Nous examinons l’effet des politiques des gauches sur l’espace public et, ce faisant, sur la démocratie dans toutes ses dimensions. À partir d’une perspective multidisciplinaire, nous nous intéressons à la façon dont les gouvernements, les partis politiques et les organisations sociales ont contribué à élargir ou rétrécir les espaces publics, que ce soit par les voies formelles (le droit) ou informelles (le clientélisme). Notre référence aux gauches, au pluriel, nous permet d’aborder ces dynamiques dans toute leur diversité. Nous étudions des cas classiques où la gauche a pris le pouvoir, de l’Argentine au Venezuela, en passant par la Bolivie, le Brésil et l’Équateur, mais aussi ceux, moins connus, où la gauche était dans l’opposition, comme au Mexique et au Pérou.
