The Internet in Brazil
How was the Internet born in Brazil? Who were its pioneers? How did they interact with the Internets fathers in the United States and Europe? What strategies guided the development of Brazils Internet? How has it developed in terms of coverage, usage, speed, pricing, and quality of service? What needs to be done to better realize its potential for accelerating economic, social and political development? What is the Brazilian model of Internet governance and how is it evolving? These are the major questions addressed in this book. The author has been an observer and participant in the development and use of the Internet in Africa, Asia, Russia and the United States, but above all in Brazil. He has interacted with many Internet pioneers around the world who have inspired his work. This book, completed immediately after the Global Stakeholder Meeting on the Future of Internet Governance (NETmundial) in So Paulo, seeks to provide background that will be useful to participants in that important gathering and to Internet enthusiasts in Brazil and around the world.

The Cambridge History of Latin America
Volume III looks at the period of history in Latin America from independence to c.1870.
Latin American Cinema
Renewed interest in Latin American film industries has opened a host of paths of scholarly exploration. Productions from different countries reflect particular social attitudes, political climates and self-conceptions, and must be considered separately and as a whole. The search for national identity is a key component of Latin American films in a time of decreasing cultural diversity and pressures to westernize. Globalization and falling government support have fueled cross-border collaborations, calling into question the idea of a movie's "nationality," and leaving some nations' film industries on the brink of collapse. Whether thriving or barely surviving, struggling to remain distinct or...

The Paraguayan War: Causes and early conduct
The Paraguayan War (1864?70) was the deadliest and most extensive interstate war ever fought in Latin America. The conflict involving Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil killed hundreds of thousands of people and had dire consequences for the Paraguayan dictator Francisco Solano L¢pez and his nation. Though the Paraguayan War stirs the same emotions in South Americans as does the Civil War in the United States, there have been few significant investigations of the war available in English. In this first of two volumes, Thomas L. Whigham provides an engrossing and comprehensive account of the war's origins and early campaigns, and he guides the reader through the complexities of South American nationalism, military development, and political intrigue. Whigham portrays the conflict as bloody and inexcusable, though it paved the way for more modern societies in the continent. The Paraguayan War fills an important gap in our understanding of Latin American history.
Routledge Handbook of Sport, Leisure, and Social Justice
This is the first book to explore in breadth and in depth the complex intersections between sport, leisure, and social justice. This book examines the relations of power that produce social inequalities and considers how sport and leisure spaces can perpetuate those relations, or act as sites of resistance, and makes a powerful call for an activist scholarship in sport and leisure studies. Presenting original theoretical and empirical work by leading international researchers and practitioners in sport and leisure, this book addresses the central social issues that lie at the heart of critical social science – including racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, religious persecutio...
Guerra Grande
150 anos da Guerra da Tríplice Aliança - Mato Grosso do Sul, presente! A terrível guerra da Tríplice Aliança contra a República do Paraguai iniciou-se, em 1864, pela invasão, sem declaração de guerra, pelos exércitos do Império do Brasil, da quase desarmada República Oriental do Uruguai, com o apoio da Argentina liberal-unitária. Cinco anos mais tarde, ela encerrou-se com a morte do presidente-marechal Francisco Solano López, em 1º de março de 1870, nos sertões de Cerro Corá, próximos à fronteira brasileira. Em 2014, completaram-se os 150 anos do início da guerra. No Paraguai, Uruguai, Argentina e Brasil, organizaram-se e se organizam eventos, que se encerrarão em 2020,...
