The Story of Rufino
A finalist for the Brazilian Book award and winner of the Casa de las America Prize for Brazilian Literature, The Story of Rufino: Slavery, Freedom, and Islam in the Black Atlantic was written by three experts in the history of slavery in Brazil and reconstructs the lively biography of Rufino Jose Maria, set against the historical context of Brazil and Africa in the nineteenth century.0This book narrates the life of a Yoruba Muslim named Rufino Jose Maria, born in the kingdom of Oyo, in present-day Nigeria. Enslaved as an adolescent by a rival ethnic group, he was acquired by Brazilian slave traffickers and taken across the Atlantic. He spent eight years as a slave in the city of Salvador, in the northeast of Brazil, where he arrived in 1823. Rufino was later sold to the southernmost province of Rio Grande do Sul, where he became the slave of the local chief of police.0Five years later, in 1835, he bought his freedom with money he saved as a hired-out slave in the streets of Salvador, in Bahia, and Porto Alegre, in Rio Grande do Sul. He may also have earned part of the money from making Islamic amulets, as he was a literate Muslim. 0.
Arming Slaves
Arming slaves as soldiers is a counterintuitive idea. Yet throughout history, in many varied societies, slaveholders have entrusted slaves with the use of deadly force. This book is the first to survey the practice broadly across space and time, encompassing the cultures of classical Greece, the early Islamic kingdoms of the Near East, West and East Africa, the British and French Caribbean, the United States, and Latin America. To facilitate cross-cultural comparisons, each chapter addresses four crucial issues: the social and cultural facts regarding the arming of slaves, the experience of slave soldiers, the ideological origins and consequences of equipping enslaved peoples for battle, and the impact of the practice on the status of slaves and slavery itself. What emerges from the book is a new historical understanding: the arming of slaves is neither uncommon nor paradoxical but is instead both predictable and explicable.

Atores Partidários e Entrada Estrategica em Competição Eleitoral de Múltimplas Arenas
A eleição presidencial no Brasil constitui um forte incentivo à coordenação estratégica dos partidos no âmbito das disputas majoritárias estaduais. A disputa encetada na arena presidencial integra um jogo mais amplo de negociações em um mercado nacional de entrada em que se coloca em marcha uma estrutura de incentivos à coordenação eleitoral. No entanto, a exigência legal de incluir a arena presidencial nos cálculos de entrada nas eleições estaduais eleva os custos de coordenação a ponto de gerar uma retirada dos partidos do pleito nacional. Ou seja, subordinar por meio de lei as decisões de entrada dos partidos nas arenas regionais a disputa presidencial signi ca assumir...
