Brazil - United States relations
This book studies relations between Brazil and the USA during the 20th century and outlines some perspectives for the start of the 21st century. Issues related to a wide variety of aspects of the relationship are addressed by bringing together a number of texts by Brazilian and American historians and political scientists. The reader will find studies relating to different historical periods on the economic, political, military, social and cultural relations of these two countries.
Brazil, the United States, and the Good Neighbor Policy
In Brazil, the United States, and the Good Neighbor Policy: The Triumph of Persuasion during World War II, Alexandre Busko Valim studies the use of cinema in Brazil as an instrument of political persuasion by the United States during the period of the so-called Good Neighbor policy during World War II by examining extensive documentation found in the National Archives in College Park, Maryland. In doing so, Valim demonstrates the modus operandi of media imperialism: its mapping strategies and control of the market, its actions, and its objectives of domination. When thinking about the place of images as a means of convincing and imposing an ideological project, the author notes the methods necessary to examine this relationship between art and politics, a problem that is central in the contemporary world. Scholars of Latin American Studies, international relations, history, political science, and media studies will find this book particularly useful.
Brazil and the United States during World War II and Its Aftermath
The military alliance between the United States and Brazil played a critical role in the outcome of World War II, and yet it is largely overlooked in historiography of the war. In this definitive account, Frank McCann investigates Brazilian-American military relations from the 1930s through the years after the alliance ended in 1977. The two countries emerge as imbalanced giants with often divergent objectives and expectations. They nevertheless managed to form the Brazilian Expeditionary Force and a fighter squadron that fought in Italy under American command, making Brazil the only Latin American country to commit troops to the war. With the establishment of the US Air Force base in Natal, Northeast Brazil become a vital staging area for air traffic supplying Allied forces in the Middle East and Asian theaters. McCann deftly analyzes newly opened Brazilian archives and declassified American intelligence files to offer a more nuanced account of how this alliance changed the course of World War II, and how the relationship deteriorated in the aftermath of the war.

National Perspectives on the Global Second World War
This collection of essays, written by authors of different nationalities, explores the experiences of the countries that were not numbered among the Second World War’s major belligerents, including colonies, 'lesser' powers, and neutral nation states. The story of the war is often dominated by the experiences, actions, and historical narratives of the major belligerent powers. By focusing on the war history of ten diverse countries, this analysis of the conflict’s global manifestations facilitates greater empathy with the experience of polities and societies dragged into regional and international conflicts. The volume offers valuable insights on the war’s place in national culture and collective memory.

Democracia em Tempos Difíceis: Inderdisciplinaridade, Política e Subjetividades
No mundo e no Brasil, mais do que nunca, o tema da democracia encontra-se em evidência considerando as relações entre o modo de organização política e o crescente aumento da desigualdade social e econômica no mundo. Ainda, mesmo as sociedades denominadas como democracias consolidadas estão a experimentar o incessante recrudescer da discriminação de gênero e de raça, das pautas conservadoras envolvendo os movimentos de degradação do meio ambiente, dos movimentos antivacina e da perda de direitos trabalhistas. Esses são alguns, dentre muitos outros aspectos que explicitam as vicissitudes para a manutenção dos pressupostos democráticos em diferentes regiões do mundo. Como sab...
Políticas do olhar
O presente livro, resultado da tese de doutoramento do Marcos Arraes, trata-se de um estudo sobre a construção da imagem de ocidente a partir das disputas culturais travadas no horizonte da produção técnica/tecnológica das imagens entre os anos de 1945 e 1964. Arraes escolhe como objeto de análise a emergência de um novo regime visual – aquele produzido pela televisão – e o impacto e agenciamentos produzidos por este novo regime na sociedade brasileira. Defendida em 2015, a tese cresceu em relevância e atualidade: nos poucos anos que a separam dos dias atuais, a heterogeneidade da análise que propõe ganha, cada vez mais, centralidade. São raras hoje as análises que não con...
