Agricultural Heritage Systems in Europe, Asia, Africa, Central and South America
Agriculture is often considered as one of the main threats to ecosystems. Unsustainable farming practices often result in habitat loss, inefficient use of water, soil degradation, pollution, genetic erosion, among other negative impacts on human life, including hunger, low food quality, reduced access to food resources, as well as the abandonment of rural areas. Nevertheless, when agriculture is practiced in a sustainable way, it can contribute to the preservation of many habitats, to the protection of watersheds, to the preservation and improvement of soil health. The use of sustainable and ecological practices is the key feature distinguishing traditional agriculture from intensive one. It...
Indians of the Rio Grande Delta
The first detailed archival study of the indigenous populations of the early historic period in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas and Mexico. Certain to become a standard reference in its field, Indians of the Rio Grande Delta is the first single-volume source on these little-known peoples. Working from innumerable primary documents in various Texan and Mexican archives, Martín Salinas has compiled data on more than six dozen named groups that inhabited the area in the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries. Depending on available information, he reconstructs something of their history, geographical range and migrations, demography, language, and culture. He also offers general information on various unnamed groups of indigenous people, their lifeways, and on the relations between the them and the colonial Spanish missions in the region. “The scholarship is nothing short of superb . . . Salinas has produced the definitive work on the area, which has been needed for years.” —Rudolph C. Troike, Professor, Department of English, University of Arizona
Afro-Brazilians

American Indian Languages
Native American languages are spoken from Siberia to Greenland, and from the Arctic to Tierra del Fuego; they include the southernmost language of the world (Yaghan) and some of the northernmost (Eskimoan). Campbell's project is to take stock of what is currently known about the history of Native American languages and in the process examine the state of American Indian historical linguistics, and the success and failure of its various methodologies. There is remarkably little consensus in the field, largely due to the 1987 publication of Language in the Americas by Joseph Greenberg. He claimed to trace a historical relation between all American Indian languages of North and South America, implying that most of the Western Hemisphere was settled by a single wave of immigration from Asia. This has caused intense controversy and Campbell, as a leading scholar in the field, intends this volume to be, in part, a response to Greenberg. Finally, Campbell demonstrates that the historical study of Native American languages has always relied on up-to-date methodology and theoretical assumptions and did not, as is often believed, lag behind the European historical linguistic tradition.

A descoberta do insólito
O percurso das literaturas negra e periférica a partir dos anos 1960 enfrentou questionamentos, barreiras, invisibilidade, oposição, pouca valoração. Mas, ao negarem o que sempre lhes fora naturalizado no senso comum e na história social do país, escritores, ativistas e intelectuais negros e periféricos escavaram com enfrentamento e resistência um espaço incontestável na história da literatura brasileira. Isso pode ser observado no reconhecimento que o presente, por fim, confere a nomes como Maria Firmina dos Reis, Carolina Maria de Jesus, Paulo Lins, Conceição Evaristo, Marcelo D'Salete, Oswaldo de Camargo, Sérgio Vaz, Kiusam de Oliveira, entre tantos outros - hoje celebrados, premiados e objetos de estudo. Nesta segunda edição, Mário Medeiros revisita a primeira edição de sua obra, de 2013, atualizando-a e ampliando-a com um novo capítulo, voltado à história das livrarias e das editoras dedicadas à literatura negra, e ressaltando o poder da literatura negra feminina no Brasil atualmente.
