  • Book cover of Radicals and Revolutionaries

    "Radicals and Revolutionaries explores a significant yet neglected area in Canadian history-the experiences of the radical workers' movement and the Communist Party of Canada. Although a minority current on the Canadian political scene, at key points the radical movement posed a pointed challenge to the established order. Within that section of the socialist movement which openly identified itself as revolutionary, the CPC clearly predominated. It was instrumental in building the industrial union movement and played a key role in many of the major strikes of this century. In the social upheavals of the 1930s and 1940s, its influence extended far beyond its numbers."--Fisher Library online

    Como pode os Estados Unidos provocarem tanto ódio, a ponto de muita gente no mundo ficar feliz com ataques suicidas de fanáticos obscurantistas contra eles? Como pode uma cultura influenciar tantas outras e ostentar, muitas vezes, um provincianismo digno de rincões escondidos no espaço e no tempo? Nação que absorveu mais imigrantes que nenhuma outra na história, que respeita as diferenças criando etiquetas para as minorias, que incorpora cientistas do mundo todo em suas melhores universidades, que espalhou para o mundo o cinema e o jazz, séries de tv e calças jeans, padrão de magreza anoréxica e de seios inflados; país que defendeu a democracia em 'guerras justas' e atentou contra ela em invasões injustificáveis. É sobre esse fascinante país que trata este livro. Feita com olhar brasileiro, a obra foi escrita por quatro especialistas da área, passando longe da visão maniqueísta com que o tema comumente é tratado. Obra considerada essencial para quem não é indiferente às influências que a terra do 'Tio Sam' exerce sobre todos.

    "An essential guide to understanding the current crisis in Brazil. Brazil is currently facing its greatest crisis since democracy was wrested by workers and social movements from the generals in 1985 after a brutal twenty-one-year military dictatorship. In Brazil at the Precipice, Sean Purdy tells the story of how Brazil got here, starting in 2002, when the Workers’ Party (PT) came to power under its founder Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, overseeing a ten-year period of sustained economic growth in the context of a booming world market for Brazilian commodities. Purdy traces the government’s implementation of successful social programs, jobs creation and modest reduction of economic and social inequality. Yet, he shows, the PT maintained the dominant neoliberal economic framework and constructed dubious alliances with a range of centrist and right-wing parties in order to advance its political agenda and effectively tamed unions and social movements, guaranteeing the PT’s victory in four successive elections. Purdy’s engaging narrative brings us to the global economic crisis, which reached the country in 2012, and the point at which the PT’s success began to unravel: the government’s adoption of an outright neoliberal program of cutbacks that undermined their support. Conservative political parties and social movements launched a concerted attack against the government, focusing on a corruption scandal that snowballed in little more than a year to the impeachment of President Dilma Rouseff. In tracing the trajectory and defeat of the Workers’ Party experiment with socialist politics, Brazil at the Precipice offers us valuable lessons for the experiments of the future"--Publisher's description.
