Recenzii
"This collection offers extraordinarily rich and historically and ethnographically penetrating analyses of the concept of resistance, developing more nuanced and powerful applications of the concept based on detailed case studies from Mexico and Brazil. The authors are recognized authorities and the each present original work of great interest and value. The essays are outstanding and the introduction by John Gledhill and the concluding discussion by Alan Knight are masterful summaries of the complex issues that emerge in the essays. Donald Pollock, University of Buffalo
"New Approaches to Resistance in Brazil and Mexico is a fascinating collection. It gives a broad overview of the resistance boom of the 1980s, while providing a serious critique from a more contemporary perspective. It puts scholars from different disciplines into conversation, and it introduces English-language readers to the work of Latin American scholars whose work is not as well-known as it should be. This collection will be widely read, and it will stimulate debate. Jeffrey Lesser, author of A Discontented Diaspora: Japanese Brazilians and the Meanings of Ethnic Militancy, 19601980
The case studies and the historical data are truly impressive, and a full consideration of the chapters in the book would require much more space....The wealth of the ethnographic data will certainly be of use for future scholars and interested individuals, and the volume as a whole presents an important addition to contemporary studies of politics and power. - Aleksandar Bokovic, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute
