A Fronteira 1
Este livro é um importante e fundamental relato histórico da formação das fronteiras ao sul do Brasil. A partir dele podemos entender a importância real e simbólica deste espaço territorial onde nacionalidades se fundem e se separam. As mobilizações dos governos colonial e nacional, mais os movimentos espontâneos das populações estimulados pelas questões beligerantes e geopolíticas das diversas fronteiras sulinas influenciaram na formação sociocultural do Brasil meridional. Aqui, o historiador Tau Golin expõe o longo processo de conquistas e articulações diplomáticas que mantiveram a população sulina mobilizada, formando uma "comunidade de destino", cujos traços particulares e simbólicos ainda predominam no seu imaginário.
A Fronteira 2
Os estudos sobre a conquista e a ocupação do Brasil meridional de Tau Golin constituem uma história geral da formação sulina marcada pela fixação dos limites. Na relação com o poder central e com o Prata, a sociedade do sul brasileiro se constituiu tendo a fronteira como paradigma. Este livro convida o leitor para uma viagem espetacular por terras em disputas, pela imposição/negociação de limites e declarações de direitos jurisdicionais de nacionalidades, de lances da geopolítica e de guerras impiedosas.

South Brazilian Grasslands
This volume explores the South Brazilian grasslands, a unique complex of ecosystems in Brazil. Despite high biodiversity and many important ecosystem services, their biodiversity and conservation are neglected, both nationally, and globally. This book provides a state-of-the-art synthesis of knowledge on the biodiversity and its drivers in South Brazilian grasslands and associated ecosystems. Further, the book discusses conservation challenges and options, as well as management strategies that help to maintain the region’s uniqueness. The chapters present information on biodiversity and ecological features of the region, and put this information into the context of historical and current human land uses, allowing for links to global discussions of conservation and sustainable development. Altogether, the book contains 20 chapters organized in four sections. The book is directed at researchers, students and professionals working with biodiversity and sustainable development in southern Brazil, as well as to the international scientific and conservation community interested in grasslands and associated ecosystems, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions.
Liberals, Politics, and Power
Looking at the Latin American liberal project during the century of postindependence, this collection of original essays draws attention to an underappreciated dilemma confronting liberals: idealistic visions and fiscal restraints. Liberals, Politics, and Power focuses on the inventiveness of nineteenth-century Latin Americans who applied liberal ideology to the founding and maintenance of new states. The impact of liberalism in Latin America, the contributors show, is best understood against the larger backdrop of struggles that pitted regional demands against the pressures of foreign finance, a powerful church against a decentralized state, and aristocratic desire to retain privilege again...
The Cambridge Handbook of Material Culture Studies
Material culture studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the relationships between people and their things: the production, history, preservation, and interpretation of objects. It draws on theory and practice from disciplines in the social sciences and humanities, such as anthropology, archaeology, history, and museum studies. Written by leading international scholars, this Handbook provides a comprehensive view of developments, methodologies and theories. It is divided into five broad themes, embracing both classic and emerging areas of research in the field. Chapters outline transformative moments in material culture scholarship, and present research from around the world, focusing on multiple material and digital media that show the scope and breadth of this exciting field. Written in an easy-to-read style, it is essential reading for students, researchers and professionals with an interest in material culture.
A guerra guaranítica
A Guerra Guaranítica talvez seja o exemplo máximo a contradizer a ideia de que os povos indígenas aceitaram passivamente a dominação europeia. Apoiadas por padres jesuítas, tropas indígenas da região dos Sete Povos das Missões, no atual estado do Rio Grande do Sul, barraram o avanço dos oficiais portugueses e espanhóis responsáveis por redesenhar as fronteiras de seus domínios na América do Sul após o Tratado de Madri, de 1750. Os rebeldes resistiram até serem derrotados por um imenso exército coligado das duas nações europeias, mas o líder Sepé Tiaraju se tornaria um ícone do movimento indígena nacional, lembrado até hoje como um dos maiores símbolos da resistência dos povos indígenas do Brasil. É desta história que trata este livro.

The Guaraní under Spanish Rule in the Río de la Plata
This ethnographic study is a revisionist view of the most significant and widely known mission system in Latin Americathat of the Jesuit missions to the Guaraní Indians, who inhabited the border regions of Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil. It traces in detail the process of Indian adaptation to Spanish colonialism from the sixteenth through the early nineteenth centuries. The book demonstrates conclusively that the Guaraní were as instrumental in determining their destinies as were the Catholic Church and Spanish bureaucrats. They were neither passive victims of Spanish colonialism nor innocent children of the jungle, but important actors who shaped fundamentally the history of the Río de la Plata region. The Guaraní responded to European contact according to the dynamics of their own culture, their individual interests and experiences, and the changing political, economic, and social realities of the late Bourbon period.
