Poor ecological conditions con tribute to the nature of the dilemma, but another factor in the apparent cultural stagnation of the Northeast, may be the persistence of values and social practices traditiona.lly alig!1ed with the colonial sugar plantation system.

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.

INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality o f the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)” . I f it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image o f the page can be found in the adjacent frame. I f copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part o f the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. I f necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

Introduction
André Botelho, Editor-in-Chief INTRODUCTION We open Issue 3 Volume 8 of Sociologia & Antropologia with a declaration of our solidarity with the National Museum of the UFRJ and our colleagues who work there. The fire that destroyed the historical building in the Quinta da Boa Vista Park on the night of September 2nd was a tragedy for our university and, moreover, for the broader academic community and Brazilian society as a whole. We particularly express our support for colleagues from PPGAS and the journal Mana, friends and partners of Sociologia & Antropologia. The National Museum is also found at the centre of the current issue, specifi- cally its role in training anthropologists and sociologists studying urban phenomena in Brazil, especially the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. The issue presents a set of original texts on the US anthropologist Anthony Leeds who, having made a big impact during his time at the National Museum, was one of the pioneers in this field of research in the country. A field of research that would later be complemented, at the same institu- tion, by the works in urban anthropology of the late and much-missed Gilberto Velho. The issue begins with an interview about Anthony Leeds conducted by Nísia Trindade Lima and Rachel de Almeida Viana with Elizabeth Leeds and Luiz Antonio Machado da Silva. The interviewers also present an article in which they analyse the works produced in Brazil by Anthony Leeds, comparing his doctoral thesis on the cacao zone, his research on Brazilian careers and the analysis of favelas. They argued that the study of Rio de Janeiro’s favela, in particular, allowed a greater re- finement of Leeds’s reflections on social organization in Brazil.

Doado por sua viúva e colaboradora em inúmeros trabalhos, a cientista política Elizabeth Leeds, o acervo reúne material valioso para os estudos sobre a cons- tituição/transformação das favelas; os movimentos sociais, as políticas públicas e a produção de conhecimento sobre essa forma de moradia. Com o seminário, pretendemos tornar públicos os primeiros resultados do trabalho realizado em colaboração com o Urbandata-Iesp/Uerj, promover o debate e estimular linhas e projetos de pesquisa sobre a história da favela e da sociologia do Brasil urbano.

INTRODUCTION Throughout the developing world the larger cities are growing rapidly, and everywhere this growth is fed in part by migration from the countryside and smaller towns. But the nature and meaning of the cityward movement varies greatly. In most of Latin America the great bulk of migrants to the cities have left the countryside permanently. They may move on to different cities, and they may return to their place of origin to visit relatives and friends, but few come back to rural areas to stay. In con- trast, much rural-to-urban migration in Africa and parts of Asia is temporary.
