In addition, a number of articles address the ideology and theories behind colonialism and imperialism, as well as the major and controversial issues at the core of the debate on colonialism and its consequences, such as Apartheid in South Africa, the Maji Mahi Revolt, and the Minas Gerais Conspiracy. ...

Asian Americans Main article: Asian American Asian American history is the history of individual ethnic groups, and also the common history of groups often affected by the same laws and a culture that often saw them as one racial group. Since the late 1960s and 1970s, many activists and academics referred to an "Asian American movement" similar to the civil rights movement to refer to efforts across different Asian groups to promote their common welfare. In the latter 20th century, spurred by the 1965 Immigration Act, Asians from many different groups immigrated in larger numbers, often arriving as college students, or skilled workers with degrees. Their image of success was portrayed with headlines of the "Model Minority". Chronology [topse... ... Read more

NEW | Perfect Condition | From the Publisher | Poetics & Visuality: A Trajectory of Contemporary Brazilian Poetry; by Philadelpho Menezes (translated from the Portugese by Harry Polkinhorn) 1995 Trade paperback: 232 pages; illustrated ISBN 1-879691-29-9. Poetics & Visuality offers an account of the development of extreme poetic practices in a country known for its commitment to experimentation. This richly illustrated history begins with spatialism, to which concretism comes as a corrective ordering in the early 1950s. The "visual poetry" of the last decades is cogently theorized as intersign poetry (collage, package, montage poetries), a movement that has drawn international attention. ... Read more

From the author: Before the year 1600, Brazil and the United States were very similar regions in terms of geographic development and colonial status, and yet both countries developed in remarkably different ways. In this article, we apply institutional analysis and the common pool approach to explain differences in the western expansion of Brazil and the United States. We find that (i) such analysis complements much of the previous literature that heretofore explained differences in these regions using sociological and ideological analytical tools, and (ii) the theory that the distinctive behavior between the Brazilian bandeirantes and the North American pioneers is due to sociological factors is refuted.
