A History of Organized Labor in Brazil
Alexander examines the history of the labor movement in Brazil during its two key phases. First, he looks at the origins and early development of the movement from the last decades of the 19th century until the Revolution of 1930. Then he analyzes the impact of the corporate state structure that President Getulio Vargas imposed on labor during his first tenure in power, and the continuation of that structure during most of the remainder of the century. Until 1930, the trajectory of the labor movement in Brazil was quite similar to what was happening in most of the rest of Latin America. Most of the early labor organizations were mutual-benefit societies rather than trade unions. This began t...
"All Power to the Imagination!"
"All Power to the Imagination!" is a history of the counterculture's immensely influential role in West German cultural and political life. Sabine von Dirke opens with an examination of nascent countercultural movements in West Germany during the 1950s. She then moves to a nuanced account of the student movement of the 1960s, describing its adaptation of the theories of Marcuse, Adorno, and Benjamin, then recounting its attack on "bourgeois" notions of the autonomy of art and culture. She next examines the subsequent development of a radical aesthetic and the effects of left-wing terrorism on Germany's political climate. Later chapters focus on die tageszeitung, the ecology movement, and the rise of the Green Party. Von Dirke concludes by asking whether the evolution that this book traces--from Marxist-influenced critiques of culture and society to more diverse, less doctrinaire left-wing positions--represents progress or a betrayal of radical ideals. An ambitious study of the German left, this book is an important contribution to our understanding of postwar European history.
Globalization in Rural Mexico
Winner, Society of the Anthropology of Work Book Prize, 2010 When the ever-intensifying global marketplace "modernizes" rural communities, who stands to gain? Can local residents most impacted by changes to their social fabric ever recover or even identify what has been lost? Frances Abrahamer Rothstein uses thirty years of sustained anthropological fieldwork in the rural Mexican community of San Cosme Mazatecochco to showcase globalization's complexities and contradictions. Rothstein's lucid work chronicles the changes in production, consumption, and social relations during three distinct periods: the Mexican "miracle," when economic development fueled mobility for a large segment of the po...
Das schwierige koloniale Erbe
Mit der Eröffnung des Humboldt Forums hat sich die Debatte um den Umgang mit unserem schwierigen kolonialen Erbe intensiviert. Sie hat gezeigt, dass es um weit mehr geht als um die Restitution von geraubten oder auch rechtmäßig erworbenen Kulturgütern an die Herkunftsgesellschaften. Es geht darum, wie wir uns selbst und andere sehen, es geht um Versöhnung und Gerechtigkeit, gegenseitige Wertschätzung und Vertrauen. Globale Krisen – 80 Millionen Flüchtlinge, die Verbreitung tödlicher Seuchen, der gerechte Zugang zu natürlichen Ressourcen, die Sicherung der natürlichen Lebensgrundlagen weltweit etc. – lassen sich nur durch internationale Zusammenarbeit lösen. Das gelingt nicht, ...

Arbeit, Organisation und Mobilität
Arbeit, Organisation und Mobilität lassen sich in einer globalisierten Welt kaum noch getrennt voneinander betrachten. Dies nehmen die Autorinnen und Autoren zum Anlass, die Erkenntnisse der Arbeits-, Organisations- und Migrationssoziologie aus subdisziplinärer Perspektive zu untersuchen. Der Band eröffnet damit einen neuen Blick auf zentrale Gegenstände sozialwissenschaftlicher Forschung.
