Landscapes of Inequity
The natural wealth of the Amazon and Andes has long attracted fortune seekers, from explorers, farmers, and gold panners to multimillion-dollar mining, oil and gas, and timber operations. Modern demands for commodities have given rise to new development schemes, including hydroelectric dams, open cast mines, and industrial agricultural operations. The history of human habitation in this region is intimately tied to its rich biodiversity, and the Amazon basin is home to scores of indigenous groups, many of whom have populations so small that their cultural and physical survival is endangered. Landscapes of Inequity explores the debate over rights to and use of resources and addresses fundamen...

Angola's Colossal Lie
Angola's Colossal Lie. Forced Labor on a Sugar Plantation, 1913-1977 is the first in-depth study of forced labor on a Portuguese-owned sugar plantation in colonial Angola. A prominent Portuguese civil servant dubbed the labor system in Angola a “colossal lie” because the reality so contradicted the law. Using extensive oral history interviews with former forced laborers, Jeremy Ball explains how Angolans experienced forced labor. Ball also interviews former Portuguese administrators to provide multiple perspectives about the transition to independence and the nationalization of the plantation.
Famílias Ricas em Guerra
O reservado mundo dos negócios e da alta finança, aparentemente bem comportado e elitista, esconde perigosos jogos de poder e sórdidos episódios de mentira, ódio e vingança. A família Espírito Santo, herdeira de uma centenária tradição na banca, dividida há um ano por uma guerra de sucessão, agoniza em rancor e traições: de um lado, Ricardo Salgado, o líder incontestado há mais de 20 anos e hoje o rosto da desgraça que arrastou o nome da família pela lama da falência; do outro, o primo José Maria Ricciardi, que lhe quis tomar o poder e perdeu. Outros nomes milionários protagonizam histórias picantes de poder, ódio e vingança: os Champalimaud, os herdeiros de Horácio Roque e de Tomé Feteira, Joe Berardo, Sousa Cintra, Jardim Gonçalves, os Queiroz Pereira, os Mello...
Sacred Art
Sacred art flourishes today in northeastern Brazil, where European and African religious traditions have intersected for centuries. Professional artists create images of both the Catholic saints and the African gods of Candomblé to meet the needs of a vast market of believers and art collectors. Over the past decade, Henry Glassie and Pravina Shukla conducted intense research in the states of Bahia and Pernambuco, interviewing the artists at length, photographing their processes and products, attending Catholic and Candomblé services, and finally creating a comprehensive book, governed by a deep understanding of the artists themselves. Beginning with Edival Rosas, who carves monumental baroque statues for churches, and ending with Francisco Santos, who paints images of the gods for Candomblé terreiros, the book displays the diversity of Brazilian artistic techniques and religious interpretations. Glassie and Shukla enhance their findings with comparisons from art and religion in the United States, Nigeria, Portugal, Turkey, India, Bangladesh, and Japan and gesture toward an encompassing theology of power and beauty that brings unity into the spiritual art of the world.
