The Interior
A new history of Brazil told through the lens of the often-overlooked interior regions.
A Life as a Stock
The era of communication in which we currently live, along with the speed of globalization, is quickly transforming our world. While we have no way of knowing where will these trends take us in twenty or thirty years, we can picture a not-too-distant future in which the impact of current decisions and events plays a major role in the lives of ordinary people. Young Rick McMahon has big dreams and is ready to take advantage of the opportunities of that world and of a global market integration called GeoOne. Unbeknownst to him, his world is about to become more exhilarating than he ever could have imagined. Lara Brown is a motivated, well-respected reporter, covering the important events happening around the world. She explains the workings of this globalized system, seeking to offer an intelligent and unbiased view. She suddenly finds herself explaining a financial meltdown on a global scale, along with its many implications. The financial meltdown and surrounding events covered by Lara now threaten Rick's life and dream, and only time will reveal the ultimate result. Can these two views of the world reconcile-and save Rick's dream in the process?
The Tourism We Do Not Talk About. A Study on Sexual Exploitation of Children in Tourism, with a Focus on Argentina and Brazil
Countries facing substantial socioeconomic problems where tourism acts as an engine for development often become vulnerable to the phenomenon known as „sex tourism”. South America is a region that shows a high incidence of commercial activities of this kind, which also hides many forms of exploitation, sex trade of children being one of the most serious. What leaves room for its occurrence often are the gaps present in the legislations, along with the obsolete applicability of such laws, or even our indifference as actors capable of provoking social change. This book contains a study that seeks to identify the origins of the occurrence and the legal apparatus available to deal with the incidence of commercial sexual exploitation of children in the region, focusing on Brazil – as a pioneer – and Argentina – a recent country dealing with such an issue. Through an analysis of the evolution of the legal framework in both countries and the international mechanisms the book is also an invitation to the reader to reflect on this unmentioned side of tourism.

O Instituto Histórico e Geográfico Brasileiro
Em O Instituto Histórico e Geográfico Brasileiro, o conhecimento e o poder (1838-1945), Ricardo Luiz de Souza estuda a trajetória de uma das mais influentes instituições existentes na historiografia brasileira, sendo fundamental a compreensão dos percursos do Instituto para entender os rumos dessa mesma historiografia.

Challenging the Legacies of Racial Resentment
Domestic and international health activism and health policy are focal points in this volume, a publication of the National Conference of Black Political Scientists. This work demonstrates the continuing importance of the "medical civil rights movement," through examples of activism of women of colour in AIDS service organizations, of their health issues, and of the struggle for racial equity in health care in Brazil.Spikes in police and vigilante violence, as well as fear of a reversion to resegregated schools have brought a new urgency to black political activism. The contributors explore the effect of race on American attitudes toward immigration policy and reform, black state legislators and American morality politics, the historically disproportionate influence of Southern whites in American politics, and the undermining of school desegregation laws with "nullification" strategies. The volume's Trends section features conversations on the #BlackLivesMatter movement in Los Angeles, the 2016 presidential election, and examines the teaching of the Trayvon Martin story at the University of California, Irvine. The volume also includes a diverse selection of book reviews.

Gênero, vulnerabilidade e autonomia
O reconhecimento dos direitos de personalidade e a soma dos direitos fundamentais lastreados no princípio-garantia dignidade da pessoa humana não tem sido suficientes para debelar as práticas sociais discriminatórias em virtude de fatores como gênero, idade e deficiência. Persiste no imaginário social, a figura do sujeito de direitos abstrato ilustrado por sua normalidade e autonomia insulares que findam por diminuir e invisibilizar aquela pessoa que traz consigo um ou vários traços de vulnerabilidade. Quando elementos como gênero e deficiência se associam à certa condição social, nacionalidade e cor, potencializam as práticas de discriminação e de opressão das identidades,...
