Book Blacks   Whites in S  o Paulo  Brazil  1888 1988

Download or read book Blacks Whites in S o Paulo Brazil 1888 1988 written by George Reid Andrews and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Buried Indians, Laurie Hovell McMillin presents the struggle of her hometown, Trempealeau, Wisconsin, to determine whether platform mounds atop Trempealeau Mountain constitute authentic Indian mounds. This dispute, as McMillin subtly demonstrates, reveals much about the attitude and interaction - past and present - between the white and Indian inhabitants of this Midwestern town. McMillin's account, rich in detail and sensitive to current political issues of American Indian interactions with the dominant European American culture, locates two opposing views: one that denies a Native American presence outright and one that asserts its long history and ruthless destruction. The highly reflective oral histories McMillin includes turn Buried Indians into an accessible, readable portrait of a uniquely American culture clash and a dramatic narrative grounded in people's genuine perceptions of what the platform mounds mean.

  • ISBN : 9780816633739

Download or read book Second Tier Cities written by Ann R. Markusen and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past thirty years, transnational investment, trade, and government policies have encouraged the decentralization of national economies, disrupting traditional patterns of urban and regional growth. Many smaller cities -- such as Seattle, Washington; Campinas, Brazil; Oita, Japan; and Kumi, Korea -- have grown markedly faster than the largest metropolises. Dubbed here "second tier cities, " they are home to specialized industrial complexes that have taken root, provided significant job growth, and attracted mobile capital and labor. The culmination of an ambitious five-year, fourteen-city research project conducted by an international team of economics and geographers, Second Tier Cities examines the potential of these new regions to balance uneven regional development, create good, stable jobs, and moderate hyper-urbanization. Comparing across national borders, the contributors describe four types of second tier cities: Marshallian industrial districts, hub-and-spoke cities, satellite platforms, and government-anchored complexes. They find that both industrial and regional policies have been important contributors to the rise of second tier cities, though the former often trump the latter. Lessons for local, national, and international policymakers are drawn. The authors are critical of devolution and argue that it must be accompanied by strong labor and environmental standards and mechanisms to overcome differential regional resource endowments.

Book Decentralized Urban Development and Industrial Location Behavior in S  o Paulo  Brazil

Download or read book Decentralized Urban Development and Industrial Location Behavior in S o Paulo Brazil written by Andrew Marshall Hamer and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report introduces the reader to the findings of a large-scale research project and only highlights findings reported in greater depth in project papers. Looking at a system of cities across the stages of economic growth leads to the conclusion that the potential size of a city at any one point in time is insensitive to most actions of local public officials. At the same time, economic development brings in its wake a transformation in the manmade resources available in secondary centers, as well as checks to further, accelerated growth in pre-eminent centers. For most secondary centers there is little opportunity to profit from a transfer of dynamism from the metropolis in the form of relocations and new metropolitan-based branches. The limited search for location alternatives is responsible for this. Secondary centers can, however, count on the expansion of stationary firms and on the generation of new independent units to help bring about growth. Local officials should concentrate on providing public services at the local level and on finding ways to increase the availability of leasable space for smaller businesses. At the national level the best spatial policy is a set of efficient sectoral policies.

Book Working Women  Working Men

Download or read book Working Women Working Men written by Joel Wolfe and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Working Women, Working Men, Joel Wolfe traces the complex historical development of the working class in Sào Paulo, Brazil, Latin America's largest industrial center. He studies the way in which Sào Paulo's working men and women experienced Brazil's industrialization, their struggles to gain control over their lives within a highly authoritarian political system, and their rise to political prominence in the first half of the twentieth century. Drawing on a diverse range of sources--oral histories along with union, industry, and government archival materials--Wolfe's account focuses not only on labor leaders and formal Left groups, but considers the impact of grassroots workers' movements as well. He pays particular attention to the role of gender in the often-contested relations between leadership groups and thee rank and file. Wolfe's analysis illuminates how various class and gender ideologies influenced the development of unions, industrialists' strategies, and rank-and-file organizing and protest activities. This study reveals how workers in Sào Paulo maintained a local grassroots social movement that, by the mid-1950s, succeeded in seizing control of Brazil's state-run official unions. By examining the actions of these workers in their rise to political prominence in the 1940s and 1950s, this book provides a new understanding of the sources and development of populist politics in Brazil.
