Cultural ContributionsPartnership

Odebrecht’s practice of establishing partnerships with publishers, universities, class entities and government agencies has allowed it to launch important projects in the cultural area.

These are works that promote discussions on the past, present and future of different social segments. The books developed by scholars also help defend and preserve Brazil’s historic, artistic and cultural heritage.
 

André Rebouças – Reform and Utopia within the Context of the Second Empire

André Rebouças - Reforma e Utopia no Contexto do Segundo Império is the result of the doctorate thesis of professor Juselice Jucá. After receiving Odebrecht sponsorship, the work was published in 2001 and received the help of other institutions: the Joaquim Nabuco Foundation; Brazilian Historical and Geographical Institute; Rio de Janeiro Engineering Club; the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) Polytechnic School; and the University of São Paulo (USP) Brazilian Studies Institute.

The book reports the history of the Bahia engineer and addresses the land issue within the context of the abolitionist movement and the struggles for social and structural reforms. The ideas presented in the book are defended by Rebouças.
