Janine Romero Valenzuela analyses the Bolivian lithium program in the largest empirical study to date with a focus on local perspectives and governance, identifying grievances and conflict dimensions. The case study shows that it is particularly an altered governance approach, the local trust in government and the high expectations that the Morales administration could create around lithium that influence local viewpoints. By applying the meaningful grievance concept on the local level, the book supports a further refinement of theories on a resource-governance-conflict-link.
Este libro busca contribuir a los procesos de análisis y comprensión de los heterogéneos modos de vida y las espacialidades rurales que producen distintos grupos sociales en medio de la persistencia de desigualdades sociales, dinámicas de violencia y conflictos socio-ambientales, pero con la esperanza de construir autonomía y garantías para una vida digna y en paz. Es elaborado a partir de un diálogo de saberes comprometido con la producción de conocimientos situados, con pertinencia social, entre la universidad y diversos sujetos rurales (campesinado, pueblos originarios -indígenas y afrodescendientes-, víctimas del conflicto armado, firmantes de la paz, entre otros); en él parti...

Collective land tenure in Colombia has been a constitutional right since 1991. It is therefore protected with the highest possible status, as it is defined as a fundamental right of indigenous and Afro-Colombian peoples. This condition has contributed to
Este libro trata de la nueva agenda política, expresa que la política de seguridad democrática se ha convertido en los últimos años en el referente de la política colombiana. Los éxitos atribuidos a esta política se han traducido fundamentalmente en la recuperación por parte del Estado del control del territorio y del ejercicio de la gobernabilidad por medio de sus instituciones, lo cual, en cierta forma, contribuyó a devolverles a los ciudadanos la percepción, el disfrute de la seguridad y la locomoción. El nuevo escenario de seguridad promovió un cambio radical de la imagen del país tanto a nivel interno como en el plano internacional donde los logros militares del gobierno del Presidente Uribe (2002-2010) en la lucha contra las guerrillas de las FARC generaron un contexto propicio para la inversión extranjera y el crecimiento económico interno. Sin embargo, la compleja realidad colombiana revela nuevos y viejos problemas estructurales que le imponen al Estado y a la sociedad grande ...
La tenencia colectiva de la tierra en Colombia se considera de carácter constitucional desde 1991. Por lo tanto, está protegida con el máximo rango posible, al ser definida como un derecho fundamental de los pueblos indígenas y afrocolombianos. Esta condición ha hecho posible la creación de instrumentos legales y acuerdos de política pública que favorecen que las comunidades tradicionales puedan garantizar sus medios de vida y proteger su autonomía territorial, en especial en amplias zonas forestales del país. Sin embargo, este reconocimiento no se aplica de manera integral a todos los pueblos tradicionales en el país. El presente estudio, teniendo como referencia la propuesta met...
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
A gripping and shocking story of a serial killer mother, and the brave daughter who brought her to justice. Dulcie Bodsworth was the unlikeliest serial killer. She was loved everywhere she went, and the townsfolk of Wilcannia, which she called home in the late 1950s, thought of her as kind and caring. The officers at the local police station found Dulcie witty and charming, and looked forward to the scones and cakes she generously baked and delivered for their morning tea. That was one side of her. Only her daughter Hazel saw the real Dulcie. And what she saw terrified her. Dulcie was in fact a cold, calculating killer who, by 1958, had put three men in their graves - one of them the father of her four children, Ted Baron - in one of the most infamous periods of the state's history. She would have got away with it all had it not been for Hazel. Written by award-winning journalist Janet Fife-Yeomans together with Hazel Baron, My Mother, A Serial Killer is both an evocative insight into the harshness of life on the fringes of Australian society in the 1950s, and a chilling story of a murderous mother and the courageous daughter who testified against her and put her in jail.
