"Este livro preenche algumas lacunas na historiografia baiana referentes tanto ao recorte espacial, a Capitania de Porto Seguro, quanto ao cronológico, o século XVII, e em relação ao tema privilegiado na sua análise, a economia extrativista através do negócio do pau-brasil e as relações econômicas, políticas e sociais que se depreendem deste empreendimento. A obra amplia e enriquece o entendimento deste período, dando visibilidade e centralidade à história da Capitania de Porto Seguro, e também nos permite compreender as complexidades que permearam as negociações e os conflitos em torno da economia extrativista e sua inserção no sistema colonial. A obra reúne uma série de fontes históricas dispersas em arquivos brasileiros e portugueses, muitas delas inéditas - tais como cartas, petições, consultas, contratos, minutas, entre outras - e costurar uma narrativa histórica capaz de desvelar as complexas relações tecidas entre colonos, missionários, contratadores e os grupos indígenas na Capitania de Porto Seguro, tendo em vista o negócio do pau-brasil."--Publisher.

Essa coletânea é resultado dos estudos realizados pelo Grupo de Estudos sobre América Portuguesa, do DCHT/Campus XVIII da UNEB. Com pouco mais de um ano de existência, o GEAP tem contribuído para a formação de um campo de pesquisa sobre a história da antiga Capitania de Porto Seguro, desenvolvendo inúmeros projetos de identificação e digitalização de fontes documentais, de organização e realização de eventos e de promoção de novos temas e abordagens de estudo. O livro "História da Capitania de Porto Seguro" expressa as potencialidades desse jovem grupo de estudos, pois registra novas perspectivas sobre a história de uma região que, embora conviva com um capital simbólico marcado pela história, enfrenta um paradoxal silenciamento historiográfico.
After-school programs, scout groups, community service activities, religious youth groups, and other community-based activities have long been thought to play a key role in the lives of adolescents.

Community Programs to Promote Youth Development explores these questions, focusing on essential elements of adolescent well-being and healthy development. It offers recommendations for policy, practice, and research to ensure that programs are well designed to me...
This is the first in-depth guide to global community psychology research and practice, history and development, theories and innovations, presented in one field-defining volume. This book will serve to promote international collaboration, enhance theory utilization and development, identify biases and barriers in the field, accrue critical mass for a discipline that is often marginalized, and to minimize the pervasive US-centric view of the field.
Bringing together for the first time selected articles by the distinguished anthropologist, this volume presents a comprehensive survey of Herskovits' exhaustive study of the Negro in the Western Hemisphere. The author came to perceive the Afroamerican field as a laboratory in which hypotheses of the widest scope in the study of acculturation could be tested, with ethnohistory as the control factor. Moreover, he regarded acculturation as a process of mutual exchange rather than a matter of members of minority groups taking over the cultural elements of a dominant majority. Herskovits also insisted that the study of culture be holisitc, and that the arts and values of a people be given full weight. The volume is divided into eight major sections entitled The Afroamerican Field—A Laboratory for the Study of Man; Theory and Method; Ethnohistory—The Laboratory Control in Studies of Acculturation; Ethno-psychology; The Arts; Cult Life in Brazil; The World View of an Urban Community—Paramaribo, Dutch Guiana; and Reinterpretations.
This intriguing study of Mexico's participation in world's fairs from 1889 to 1929 explores Mexico's self-presentation at these fairs as a reflection of the country's drive toward nationalization and a modernized image. Mauricio Tenorio-Trillo contrasts Mexico's presence at the 1889 Paris fair—where its display was the largest and most expensive Mexico has ever mounted—with Mexico's presence after the 1910 Mexican Revolution at fairs in Rio de Janeiro in 1922 and Seville in 1929. Rather than seeing the revolution as a sharp break, Tenorio-Trillo points to important continuities between the pre- and post-revolution periods. He also discusses how, internationally, the character of world's ...

On the night of January 24, 1835, hundreds of African Muslim slaves poured into the streets of Salvador, capital of the Brazilian province of Bahia, to confront soldiers and armed civilians. Nearly 70 slaves were killed. More than 500 were sentenced to death, prison, whipping or deportation. Although the rebel slaves failed to win their freedom, the repercussions of their actions were felt throughout the nation, making this the most important urban slave rebellion in the Americas, and the only one in which Islam played a major role. In this history of the 1835 uprising, Joao Jose Reis draws on hundreds of police and trial records in which Africans, despite obvious intimidation, spoke out about their cultural, social, economic, religious and domestic lives in Salvador. Now available in this revised and expanded English edition, "Slave Rebellion in Brazil" is a portrait of the conditions of urban slavery and an absorbing account of conspiracy, uprising and punishment. --
