Vulnerabilidades sociais
Em verdade, o livro que chega às mãos dos leitores e das leitoras assume o caráter de uma crítica contundente à contemporaneidade brasileira, tendo como fio condutor as vulnerabilidades e os direitos negados. Ademais, a análise de um tempo histórico, consubstanciada na obra, é enriquecida com aportes de investigadores e investigadoras de outros países da América Latina que ampliam as dimensões do pensamento crítico, demarcando especificidades das formações sociais latino-americanas neste tempo histórico do capitalismo no séc. XXI. (...) nesses momentos de crises que se cruzam e se entrecruzam no sistema do Capital, esta obra que vem a público demarca, com a força de uma produção político-acadêmica, radicalmente crítica, as tragédias das vulnerabilizações na ordem capitalista contemporânea, nos marcos de uma mundialização com dominância financeira, em plena era digital, a atingir, violentamente, os trabalhadores e as trabalhadoras, sobretudo, aqueles e aquelas que habitam às margens da sociedade.
Magistério
"O livro MAGISTÉRIO: o encantamento do tear nos dá uma lição de história exitosa de uma vida comprometida com o saber e o agir, o agir coletivo por uma sociedade inclusiva, de justiça e igualdade. É uma lição poética e de muita sabedoria na interpretação do tear da vida nas suas diferentes dimensões. É uma demonstração exemplar de como fazer um Memorial capaz de superar a descrição, em busca de uma visão interpretativa do sujeito autor que supera o aparente, procurando desnudar a essência de sua vida."

Pedro and Marques Take Stock
"[A] vibrant and punchy novel . . . Through Falero’s lovable characters, readers will meditate on violence and respectability within the death-trap of runaway capitalism.

Slave Rebellion in Brazil
On the night of January 24, 1835, hundreds of African Muslim slaves poured into the streets of Salvador, capital of the Brazilian province of Bahia, to confront soldiers and armed civilians. Nearly 70 slaves were killed. More than 500 were sentenced to death, prison, whipping or deportation. Although the rebel slaves failed to win their freedom, the repercussions of their actions were felt throughout the nation, making this the most important urban slave rebellion in the Americas, and the only one in which Islam played a major role. In this history of the 1835 uprising, Joao Jose Reis draws on hundreds of police and trial records in which Africans, despite obvious intimidation, spoke out about their cultural, social, economic, religious and domestic lives in Salvador. Now available in this revised and expanded English edition, "Slave Rebellion in Brazil" is a portrait of the conditions of urban slavery and an absorbing account of conspiracy, uprising and punishment. --

Together, these stories and the women who inhabit them reveal an illuminating portrait of the sacred female romance, with all its nuances, complexities, burdens, and triumphs revealed. Violence, sickness, chaos, tenderness, be...

Enemies of the Enlightenment
"Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, Darrin M. McMahon shows that well before the French Revolution, enemies of the Enlightenment were warning that the secular thrust of modern philosophy would give way to horrors of an unprecedented kind. Greeting 1789, in turn, as the realization of their worst fears, they fought the Revolution from its onset, profoundly affecting its subsequent course. The radicalization - and violence - of the Revolution was as much the product of militant resistance as any inherent logic."--BOOK JACKET.
Press Censorship in Caroline England
Between 1625 and 1640, a distinctive cultural awareness of censorship emerged, which ultimately led the Long Parliament to impose drastic changes in press control. The culture of censorship addressed in this study helps to explain the divergent historical interpretations of Caroline censorship as either draconian or benign. Such contradictions transpire because the Caroline regime and its critics employed similar rhetorical strategies that depended on the language of orthodoxy, order, tradition, and law, but to achieve different ends. Building on her two previous studies on press censorship in Elizabethan and Jacobean England, Cyndia Clegg scrutinizes all aspects of Caroline print culture: book production in London, the universities, and on the Continent; licensing and authorization practices in both the Stationers' Company and among the ecclesiastical licensers; cases before the courts of High Commission and Star Chamber and the Stationers' Company's Court of Assistants; and trade regulation.
