    Novo presidente da ABL, Proença enfatiza combate ao racismo e defesa da língua (Agência Brasil, 17/12/2015) Segundo negro a presidir a Academia Brasileira de Letras (ABL) – o primeiro foi o cofundador da instituição, Machado de Assis – o professor e escritor Domício Proença Filho foi empossado no final da tarde de hoje (17) no cargo que vai exercer até o final de 2016. Ele substitui o poeta, ensaísta, crítico literário e tradutor Geraldo Holanda Cavalcanti, que dirigiu a ABL nas duas últimas gestões. Durante a cerimônia no Petit Trianon, sede da academia, no centro do Rio, foram empossados os demais membros da diretoria eleita no último dia 3, por unanimidade, e que tem duas mulheres, ambas ex-presidentes da Casa: as escritoras Nélida Piñon, secretária-geral, e Ana Maria Machado, primeira- secretária. Os demais integrantes são os acadêmicos Merval Pereira, segundo-secretário, e Marco Lucchesi, tesoureiro. No discurso de posse, Domício Proença Filho declarou sua preocupação com o combate ao racismo. “A Casa de Machado de Assis, uma vez mais, situa claramente o seu posicionamento, em termos de nossa contingência comunitária. Não nos esqueçam os tempos fundadores de Joaquim Nabuco e de Machado de Assis, a ação pioneira de Afonso Arinos. Entendo, a propósito, que, na realidade brasileira, respeitadas as opiniões em contrário, o núcleo de preocupação deve ser o combate contínuo e vigoroso ao racismo”, disse o novo presidente da ABL. Domício Proença Filho também ressaltou as dificuldades vividas pelo país, em função da grave crise econômica. “ Somos a diretoria da crise. Árduo será o percurso. No traçado do rumo, buscaremos manter a atitude rotineira e a velocidade de cruzeiro alertas ao aviso de apertar o cinto aos primeiros sinais de turbulência”.

  • Paper We Map the Long-Term, Worldwide Shift in Gender Ratios Among Migrant Populations
    Gender Ratios in Global Migrations, 1850-2000 J. Trent Alexander Minnesota Population Center University of Minnesota Katharine M. Donato Department of Sociology Vanderbilt University Donna R. Gabaccia Department of History and Immigration History Research Center University of Minnesota Johanna Leinonen Department of History University of Minnesota April 2008 Funding for this project has been provided by the University of Minnesota's Office of International Programs, the Minnesota Population Center and the University of Minnesota's Immigration History Research Center. The collection of the source data was supported by grants to the Minnesota Population Center from the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development and the National Science Foundation. 1 Introduction Scholars in many disciplines have observed that men historically far outnumbered women among international movers. Two of geographer E.G. Ravenstein's late- nineteenth century "laws of migration" asserted that (1) short-distance migrants generally outnumbered longer distance ones, and that (2) within-country moves were usually dominated by women and between-country moves were dominated by men. Although many geographers have critiqued and extended Ravenstein's work, these two often- repeated laws have rarely been challenged since they were written in the late 1800s. Many textbooks in demography and world history presented these theories as conventional wisdom for much of the twentieth century (e.g., Peterson 1969: 264; United Nations 1979: 4; Manning 2005: 11). In the early 1980s, however, researchers at the U.S. Department of Labor and elsewhere pointed toward a "remarkable shift" in migrant gender ratios, from women constituting less than one-third of all U.S.-bound migrants in 1900 to almost one-half in the 1970s (Houston et al.
