The Seed Was Planted: The Sao Paulo Roots of Brazil's Rural Labor Movement, 1924-1964
Cliff Welch Manufacturer: Pennsylvania State University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0271017880 |
Book Description
Examines the fundamental role of rural labor in the making of modern Brazil.The Seed Was Planted makes an outstanding contribution to a new political history of modern Brazil by challenging the notion that rural workers were less than full participants in the politics of the Vargas era. John D. French, Duke University
Until the 1960s, rural laborers and peasants composed the majority of Brazil's population and yet most scholars have downplayed their influence on the country's history. In contrast, The Seed Was Planted argues that rural labor has been fundamental to the making of modern Brazil.
When the Brazilian military took power in 1964, anarchy in the countryside was one of the problems the conspirators used to justify ousting the civilian government. Cliff Welch examines this claim by narrating the history of rising rural worker activism in São Paulo, Brazil's most influential state.
Between a major revolt in 1924 and the 1964 coup d'etat, São Paulo rural workers gradually gained a place in Brazilian politics by seizing opportunities from ruling class initiatives designed to reform the agricultural economy. Welch shows how laws composed to incorporate rural workers in a controlled way became platforms for unexpected protest and political mobilization culminating in the 1963 Rural Laborer Statute (ETR). The unprecedented legitimacy the law brought the rural labor movement further spurred the agrarian mobilization cut short by the 1964 coup.
Drawing on rural worker letters, court records, news accounts, landlord observations, and government studies, The Seed Was Planted offers a rich and engaging sense of how rural labor politics were structured and experienced during this crucial period of modern Brazilian history. Personal anecdotes gathered in oral interviews with rural workers and their allies add a compelling human element to the book, enlivening such historical abstractions as communism, populism, and rural unionization. This combination of detailed historical analysis and lively personal narrative makes The Seed Was Planted an excellent introduction to modern Brazilian social history.

Life Lessons from Xena, Warrior Princess: A Guide to Happiness, Success, and Body Armor

ASIN: 0836267672 |
Book Description
The syndicated cable TV show Xena, Warrior Princess has become a hot cult favorite, and catapulted into the ratings stratosphere. Life Lessons from Xena, Warrior Princess is a campy guide to what the greatest heroine of all has to teach about today's world. For example, "anytime you're ambushed by several dozen gladiators, cry out for help, immediately. It is selfish and greedy to kill them all your self."Customer Reviews:

Cuba and Its Music: From the First Drums to the Mambo

I wanna dance.......2005-04-07
As a music professor and jazz drummer I found so much information I ended buying a dozen cds to hear what Sublette was talking about. I always knew that call and response is a hallmark of African music and used to say that there has to be an African influence in the 18th century concerto with its call and response. This book explains how the African influence reached Europe through Spain. So I have been right all these years.
Sublette is great when he weaves developments in music in the context of Cuban politics. We see how American intervention led to Batista, who was overthrown by Castro, thus Castro is really a product of American intervention.
But ultimately the book is about the music and it delivers with the punch of a conga drum. Required reading for anyone and everyone interested in music.

Liked the Software, Liked the Book.......2003-12-26
I particularly liked Appendix C, which gives insight on how to modify the game play. Alpha Centauri has seven players. The computer players have certain personalities. Quite frankly, there is one personality I do not like to play with. By changing a file, I was able to change offending personality.
Alternative manual - not strategy guide.......2001-08-14
The Alpha Centauri strategy guide pales in comparison with the corresponding book for Civilization II, which is required reading for any Civ2 fan.

100% satisfied........2003-08-13
At first, I thought my goal was a little out of reach. I wanted to create a database-driven website that could recieve thousands of hits a day yet stay under my ISP's traffic limit of 5Gb per month. To top it all off, I wanted to start from scratch and have it all ready to go within 2 weeks.
This book was my savior. Every single problem I encountered was covered in intricate detail. What really separated this book from the countless other frontpage books I tried was its explanation of database relationships and how to work around the standard conventions.
Also, most people say that frontpage is too limited graphics-wise. That is true if you follow frontpage conventions, however, this book (along with the newsgroups on microsofts's website) will teach you how to "tweak" the code to get almost any result you want.
Highly recommended.
