Este livro tem como principal finalidade discutir como os grupos que estiveram a frente do Golpe de 1964 e da posterior ditadura civil-militar instaurada elaboraram um discurso de combate a corrupço e a subverso politica como forma de legitimar a sua intervenço e permanencia no poder por 21 anos no Brasil. Nesse sentido, a politica de "combate" a corrupço e a subverso se deu oficialmente por meio da criaço de duas Comisses Gerais de Investigaço (CGI), a primeira constituida em 1964 e a segunda em 1968. Tais orgos tinham a funço de investigar e punir supostos corruptos e subversivos. Ha indicios, porem, de que essas comisses eram seletivas, devido a interferencias politicas no exercicio de suas atribuiçes. Em torno dessa analise, de forma recortada, abordaremos o caso de Miracema, em que o ex-prefeito da cidade foi denunciado e processado pela CGI, ao nosso ver, sobretudo por motivaçes politicas. Nessa perspectiva, discutiremos como a ideia que associa a instituiço militar a moralidade, consolidada a partir do golpe, permanece presente em nossa sociedade, por meio da disputa de projetos de memoria sobre o periodo em discusso.

Nos últimos anos temos acompanhado o crescente número de estudantes indígenas que acessam as escolas e as universidades dos "brancos". Ao dominar nossos códigos culturais, eles fortalecem suas lutas pela garantia de seus direitos, o que faz muitos brasileiros afirmarem que "os indios de hoje esto mais espertos". O que Rafael Rogerio nos revela em seu livro "Diz o indio...": Politicas indigenas no Vale Amazonico (1777-1798) que essa esperteza dos indios e muito mais antiga. Diante do profundo choque cultural provocado pelo contato que ameaçava o modo de vida dessa populaço, restava a estes povos aprender a se apropriar dos codigos do colonizador, de modo a garantir e ampliar os direitos que a legislaço lhes reservava. Assim, foram muitos os casos em que os indios do vale amazonico, no periodo colonial, acessaram a justiça denunciando arbitrariedades ou reivindicando o direito de transitar nos espaços coloniais sem embaraços. Tradicionalmente invisibilizados, vistos como "povos sem historia", estes homens e mulheres so habilmente recuperados pelo autor em sua condiço de sujeitos historicos, impondo limites ao projeto colonizador, ora celebrando conquistas, ora negociando perdas. Desse modo, "Diz o indio..." nos revela vozes silenciadas de povos que sempre tiveram muito o que dizer. (Prof. Marcio Couto Henrique, Professor Associado | Universidade Federal do Para)

Las formas en que se representó la barbarie en el mundo occidental, entre la caída de Constantinopla y la Ilustración constituyen la exploración central de este libro. Con horizontes cronológicos y espaciales amplios, la obra analiza las formas en que textos e imagenes utilizaron la barbarie para dar cuenta de experiencias diversas: el conocimiento de pueblos otros, vecinos y distantes, el acercamiento a costumbres ajenas y la experiencia de violencias consideradas radicales, pero tambien la simplicidad, la inteligencia, el coraje y la solidaridad. Lejos de sugerir que la descripcion y la valoracion de la barbarie y los barbaros permanecieron inalteradas durante tres siglos, la obra busca mostrar las transformaciones y adaptaciones de esos conceptos e imagenes para usos y contextos diversos. Sus aportes originales se asientan fundamentalmente a partir de dos caracteristicas singulares: primero, un enfoque cronologico y espacial extenso; segundo, una atencion especial al mundo de las imagenes, que no las considera meras ilustraciones.
