Huggins Publishes Expanded Edition

Martha Huggins, Roger Thayer Stone Professor of Sociology, has published an expanded edition of Political Policing: the United States and Latin America (Duke 1998) in Brazil as Policía e Política: Relacoes Estados Unidos/America Latina (Cortez 1998). The latter has been covered extensively in the Brazilian press, including receiving four pages in Folia de Sao Paulo and articles in the Federal Capital's Jornal da Brasília and in Rio de Janiero's O Globo newspapers. Two five-minute interviews with Huggins were shown nationally on Brazil's Globo television station. Huggins also was interviewed about Polícia e Política on a national radio program in Brazil. There have been two televised debates on her book. Argentina's progressive newsmagazine, Noticias, has carried an article about Political Policing.

In September, Huggin's research for a new book, Tortured Consciousness – about Brazilian torturers and murderers – was featured in a Discovery Channel presentation of "The Roots of Evil," a three-part documentary.

Huggins recently presented papers on Politcal Policing and Tortured Consciousness at the Federal University of Rio de Janiero, the University of Wisconsin, at international conferences in Montreal, Maputo, Mozambique, and at meetings of the American Sociological Association and Latin American Studies Association.
