Environment and Development
This book provides a comprehensive overview of emerging challenges facing different social groups, policy-makers and the international community related to economic growth, social development and environmental change, social inclusion and regional development. The book undertakes a critical assessment of the tensions associated with the failures of mainstream regulatory approaches and impacts of social and economic policies whilst widening the discussion on the interface between the expansion of the socio-environmental demands, equity and justice. These are crucial challenges, of great importance today and of equal relevance to the Global North and South. The book explores one of the main co...
Guardians of the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest: Environmental Organizations and Development
The Amazon region is the focus of intense conflict between conservationists concerned with deforestation and advocates of agro-industrial development. This book focuses on the contributions of environmental organizations to the preservation of Brazilian Amazonia. It reveals how environmental organizations such as Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, WWF and others have fought fiercely to stop deforestation in the region. It documents how the history of frontier expansion and environmental struggle in the region is linked to Brazil’s position in an evolving capitalist world-economy. It is shown how Brazil’s effort to become a developed country has led successive Brazilian governments to devise development projects for Amazonia. The author analyses how globalization has led to the expansion of international commodity chains in the region, particularly for mineral ores, soybeans and beef. He shows how environmental organizations have politicized these commodity chains as weapons of conservation, through boycotting certain products, while other pro-development groups within Brazil claim that such organizations threaten Brazil's sovereignty over its own resources.
Oral History in Latin America
This field guide to oral history in Latin America addresses methodological, ethical, and interpretive issues arising from the region’s unique milieu. With careful consideration of the challenges of working in Latin America – including those of language, culture, performance, translation, and political instability – David Carey Jr. provides guidance for those conducting oral history research in the postcolonial world. In regions such as Latin America, where nations that have been subjected to violent colonial and neocolonial forces continue to strive for just and peaceful societies, decolonizing research and analysis is imperative. Carey deploys case studies and examples in ways that will resonate with anyone who is interested in oral history.
Trabalho escravo contemporâneo: tempo presente e usos do passado
"Morrer ou viver é a mesma coisa"; "este aí é o morre andando"; "vou morrer sem saber quem [me] matou"; "a mesma água que eles tomavam banho, eles bebiam"; "o futuro aqui é do patrão". Estas foram frases ditas por pessoas que vivenciaram e presenciaram condições de trabalho análogas à de escravo na Amazônia a partir do final do século XX. Fazem parte de eloquentes relatos concedidos às autoras deste livro para se referirem a um sem-número de privações, promessas não cumpridas, superexploração de trabalhadores em fazendas ("verdadeiras cidadelas armadas"), expropriação fraudulenta de pequenos proprietários e ocupações criminosas de terras indígenas, de comunidades ribeirinhas e de seringueiros em vastos territórios do Mato Grosso e do Pará. O livro é uma obra candente sobre uma característica persistente da formação social brasileira: a superexploração da força de trabalho e a consequente desigualdade social que dilacera o país.
