The Dismantling of Brazil's Old Republic
In the years 1922–1930 Brazil's political and cultural arenas were bestirred by distinct movements of protest and demand for change, forcing a great shift in the manner Brazilians perceived themselves and their country, and shaping a national climate of opinion which led to a revolution and substantial reforms. This book follows the progression of these events, with special focus on the rebelling young military officers and the modernist artists, highlighting their internal controversies and evolving ideologies. Additional coverage is given to the growing demands for change among the urban population, particularly as articulated by the daily press, and to intellectuals who expressed their opinions on pressing national problems, all of which attest to not only a change of ideas but an initial polarization into opposing and rival political currents. Unlike other historians, the comprehensive answers presented here by the author, with regard to the underlying causes of the transition, stress the impact of early twentieth century cultural change.

História Libidinosa de Portugal
Como é que o sexo, o desejo, o adultério e as paixões mais ou menos secretas dos nossos líderes influenciaram a História de Portugal ao longo dos séculos?História Libidinosa de Portugal aborda questões espinhosas como a sucessão dinástica e a extraconjugalidade na evolução de um país que deve as suas origens mais remotas ao adultério de um soberano de Leão e Castela e que foi oferecido como dote a uma bastarda real. Num registo solto e rigoroso, o autor recorda o mistério sobre a filiação de Afonso Henriques, as acusações de bigamia contra Afonso III, o amor incendiário de Pedro I e Inês de Castro, a predileção por freiras de João V, as aventuras homossexuais de Joã...
At the Limits of the Secular
This volume presents an integrated collection of constructive essays by eminent Catholic scholars addressing the new challenges and opportunities facing religious believers under shifting conditions of secularity and "post-secularity." Using an innovative "keywords" approach, At the Limits of the Secular is an interdisciplinary effort to think through the implications of secular consciousness for the role of religion in public affairs. The book responds in some ways to Charles Taylor's magnum opus, A Secular Age, although it also stands on its own. It features an original essay by David Tracy -- the most prominent American Catholic theologian writing today -- and groundbreaking contributions by influential younger theologians such as Peter Casarella, William Cavanaugh, and Vincent Miller.
