"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.

History of the Inca Realm, by Maria Rostworowski de Diez Canseco, is a classic work of ethnohistorical research which has been both influential and provocative in the field of Andean prehistory. Rostworowski uses a great variety of published and unpublished documents and secondary works by Latin American, North American, and European scholars in fields including history, ethnology, archaeology, and ecology, to examine topics such as the mythical origins of the Incas, the expansion of the Inca state, the organization of Inca society, including the political role of women, the vast trading networks of the coastal merchants, and the causes of the disintegration of the Inca state in the face of a small force of Spaniards. At each step, Dr Rostworowski presents her own views, clearly and forcefully, along with those of other scholars, providing her readers with varied evidence from which to draw their own conclusions.
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.
"The best book to come out on Herodotus in years."—G. E. R. Lloyd, King's College Cambridge
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. --

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 ...
