Beginning with Number 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press
became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the
most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by
the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a
corps of specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook
alternates from year to year between social sciences and
humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central
America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and
Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole.
Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that

The military alliance between the United States and Brazil played a
critical role in the outcome of World War II, and yet it is largely
overlooked in historiography of the war. In this definitive
account, Frank McCann investigates Brazilian-American military
relations from the 1930s through the years after the alliance ended
in 1977. The two countries emerge as imbalanced giants with often
divergent objectives and expectations. They nevertheless managed to
form the Brazilian Expeditionary Force and a fighter squadron that
fought in Italy under American command, making Brazil the only
Latin American country to commit troops to the war. With the
establishment of the US Air Force base in Natal, Northeast Brazil
become a vital staging area for air traffic supplying Allied forces
in the Middle East and Asian theaters. McCann deftly analyzes newly
opened Brazilian archives and declassified American intelligence
files to offer a more nuanced account of how this alliance changed
the course of World War II, and how the relationship deteriorated
in the aftermath of the war.

How do two ideologically opposed governments co-operate? The
Unionist government struggled to answer this question during the
sixties and seventies. This book charts the development of this
government's policy towards its neighbor in Southern Ireland and
explains how it ended up in a total stalemate with the emergence of
the Troubles.
Creative Labour Regulation is an interdisciplinary response to the
central contemporary challenges to effective labour regulation.
Drawing on contributions by leading experts from the Regulating for
Decent Work Network, it offers new ideas for research and
policy.The book identifies three central challenges to contemporary
labour regulation: intensifying labour market fragmentation;
complex interactions between labour market institutions; and
obstacles to effective enforcement. International in scope, the
volume includes chapters on both advanced economies (Europe and the
United States) and the developing world (Argentina, Cambodia, South
Africa and Viet Nam).Topics addressed include the regulation of
precarious and informal work, the role of minimum wage regulation
in industrialized and low-income countries, the promise and
limitations of 'hybrid' public-private enforcement mechanisms -
including in the International Labour Organization/International
Finance Corporation's Better Work programme - and the involvement
of labour inspectorates and civil society organizations in
implementing labour standards.Creative Labour Regulation
acknowledges the complexity of ensuring labour protection in
contemporary economies. It concludes, however, that innovation in
devising more effective legal regulation is possible, in both the
advanced industrialized world and in low-income countries.
The volume is at the forefront of the academic and policy debates
on effective labour regulation, offering innovative approaches to
research and policy. It is an interdisciplinary response to the
central challenges that face modern labour regulation and draws on
contributions by leading experts in a range of disciplines.
"Regulating for Decent Work" is a response to the dominant
deregulatory approaches that have shaped labour market regulation
in recent years. The inter-disciplinary and international approach
invigorates current debates through the identification of new
challenges, subjects and perspectives.

Getulio Dornelles Vargas established his dictatorship in Brazil in
1937, and from 1938 through 1940 American diplomats and military
planners were preoccupied with the possibility that Brazil might
ally herself with Nazi Germany. Such an alliance would have made
fortress America vulnerable and closed the South Atlantic to Allied
shipping. Fortunately for America, Brazil eventually joined the
Allies and American engineers turned Northeast Brazil into a vast
springboard for supplies for the war fronts. Frank D. McCann has
used previously inaccessible Brazilian archival material to discuss
the events during the Vargas regime which brought about a close
alliance between Brazil and the United States and resulted in
Brazil's economic, political, and military dependence on her
powerful North American ally. He shows that until 1940 the drive
for closer union came largely from Brazil, which wanted to offset
the shifting alliances of the Spanish-speaking countries and escape
from British economic domination. American interest in Brazil
increased during the 1930's as the U.S. turned to Latin America to
recoup losses in foreign trade and as Washington began to fear that
Nazism and Fascism would spread to South America. By 1940 the
nature of Brazil's relationship with the United States made it
impossible for Brazil to remain neutral. Frank McCann's analysis of
Brazil's decision to join the Allies affords a view of the
diplomatic uses of economic and military aid, which became a
feature of diplomacy in the postwar years. It also provides
insights into the military's influence on foreign policy, and into
the functioning of Vargas' Estado Novo. Originally published in
1974. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
Not every brave son of the South fought against Northern aggression
during the American Civil War. Some took a different stand and
defended the Stars and Stripes rather than the Stars and Bars. It
meant placing their lives and those of their families in danger
against the persecution of their former friends and neighbors.
Fielding Hurst raised a volunteer regiment of fellow Southern
Unionists called the Sixth Tennessee Cavalry, with men from
Decatur, Gibson, Hardin, McNairy, Perry, Wayne, and Weakley
counties in Tennessee. Because of brutality credited to them during
the war, hatred for them has been passed down through generations
of families in southwest Tennessee.
This book provides an authoritative history of the Brazilian army
from the army's overthrow of the monarchy in 1889 to its support of
the coup that established Brazil's first civilian dictatorship in
1937. The period between these two events laid the political
foundations of modern Brazil-a period in which the army served as
the core institution of an expanding and modernizing Brazilian
state. The book is based on detailed research in Brazilian,
British, American, and French archives, and on numerous interviews
with surviving military and civilian leaders. It also makes
extensive use of hitherto unused internal army documents, as well
as of private correspondence and diaries. It is thus able to shed
new light on the army's personnel and ethos, on its ties with
civilian elites, on the consequences of military
professionalization, and on how the army reinvented itself after
the collapse of its command structure in the crisis of 1930-a
reinvention that allowed the army to become the backbone of the
post-1937 dictatorship of Getulio Vargas.
