Este livro está baseado numa instigante pesquisa sobre os intercâmbios sexuais, afetivos e econômicos entre mulheres estrangeiras e homens locais, em Pipa, Rio Grande do Norte. É o primeiro estudo centrado nas personagens masculinas envolvidas nessas relações transnacionais no Brasil. Situando essas trocas no âmbito das conexões entre turismo, desigualdades, sexualidade e economia, o livro aporta novos subsídios na crescente literatura sobre essas conexões no país.
Dos textos que integram este volume, os temas são variados e analisados a partir de diferentes pontos de vista teóricos, metodológicos e de inserção profissional das autoras e dos autores. Essa pluralidade e diversidade vem ao encontro da filosofia que embasa as publicações desta série de livros que debatem as questões de gênero na contemporaneidade. Aqui, os feminismos se apresentam em toda sua riqueza e plenitude de possibilidades de interpretação das relações entre os vários gêneros que compõem a experiência humana. No entanto, toda essa diversidade tem em comum o desejo de desconstruir as desigualdades, as injustiças e as travas que restringem as liberdades civis, sociais e individuais. São ideias e práticas que buscam alcançar o bem, o bom e o melhor não só para alguns e algumas, mas para todas as pessoas. Marlene Neves Strey

This book consolidates the descriptive results of a pantropical project called Agroforestry Systems Inventory (AFSI), undertaken by the International Council for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF) from 1982 to 1987. Since agroforestry was a relatively new term when the project was initiated, the main objective was to increase the understanding of and provide a state-of the-art information base on existing agroforestry systems. Therefore, the project was designed to systematically collect, collate, synthesize, and dissem inate information on existing agroforestry systems in developing countries. One of the major results of the project, descriptions of existing agroforestry systems, was publishe...
Fiction. Translated from the Portuguese by Wilson Loria.Edilberto Coutinho, internationally renowned journalist, literary critic and writer, has been praised worldwide for his collection of short stories, Macarana Adeus. BYE, BYE SOCCER is the first English translation of these stories, considered by critics as a literary masterpiece. Written and published during the military dictatorship in Brazil, they are an example of literature of protest against the oppression and manipulation to which even sport was subjected. Soccer serves as both an emblem of Brazilian popular culture and as a metaphor for the complex social and political battles that were being waged on Brazilian soil at the time. Although the context of these stories is decidedly Brazilian, the themes of resistance and determination are universal.
In Buried Indians, Laurie Hovell McMillin presents the struggle of her hometown, Trempealeau, Wisconsin, to determine whether platform mounds atop Trempealeau Mountain constitute authentic Indian mounds. This dispute, as McMillin subtly demonstrates, reveals much about the attitude and interaction - past and present - between the white and Indian inhabitants of this Midwestern town. McMillin's account, rich in detail and sensitive to current political issues of American Indian interactions with the dominant European American culture, locates two opposing views: one that denies a Native American presence outright and one that asserts its long history and ruthless destruction. The highly reflective oral histories McMillin includes turn Buried Indians into an accessible, readable portrait of a uniquely American culture clash and a dramatic narrative grounded in people's genuine perceptions of what the platform mounds mean.
