Extrait : ""C'est en 1798 que la première Exposition de l'Industrie française a été décrétée par le gouvernement. Depuis cette époque, la France a eu quatorze grandes expositions, qui, d'abord nationales, sont devenues internationales, et ont été ouvertes à tous les produits du travail. L'Exposition de Paris en 1855 a inauguré cette féconde réunion des exposants du monde entier.""À PROPOS DES ÉDITIONS LIGARANLes éditions LIGARAN proposent des versions numériques de qualité de grands livres de la littérature classique mais également des livres rares en partenariat avec la BNF.

the Authors

Sommario/riassunto

In this literary, co-constructed narrative, two Brazilian scholars explore the spaces "in-between"-between their own biographies, one raised privileged, the other poor; between the experience of being raised in Brazil and finding acceptance in United States universities; between their lives in the academic establishment and their studies of poverty in Latin America; between the constraints of apolitical scholarship and the need to promote social justice; between contrasting styles of researching, theorizing, and writing. Their dialogue seeks to decolonize the world of American scholarship
