Ciudades x jóvenes : aportes para la nueva agenda urbana desde las juventudes latinoamericanas
Hacia mediados de 2018, para el análisis de los grupos focales latinoamericanos que nutren la investigación que sigue, se sumó al estudio un grupo de investigadores vinculados al Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales (CLACSO) con amplia trayectoria en los estudios de las juventudes para promover un análisis más profundo de las percepciones que los jóvenes referían de las ciudades en las que viven. En tal sentido, este libro es la convergencia de los esfuerzos de múltiples sectorespara ubicar a los jóvenes como actores transformadores de los procesos urbanos y de los tratados que surgen para su mejora, fundamentalmente la Nueva Agenda Urbana y la Agenda 2030.
Activismos feministas jóvenes : emergencias, actrices y luchas en América Latina
Una cartografía de los feminismos latinoamericanos contemporáneos abarca una cantidad inmensa de corrientes de índole diversa: feminismos urbanos de clase media, feminismos comunitarios indígenas y noindígenas, ecofeminismos, feminismos descoloniales, para mencionar algunas.

The Zapatista Movement and Mexico's Democratic Transition
Transitions from authoritarian to democratic governments can provide ripe scenarios for the emergence of new, insurgent political actors and causes. During peaceful transitions, such movements may become influential political players and gain representation for previously neglected interests and sectors of the population. But for this to happen, insurgent social movements need opportunities for mobilization, success, and survival. This book looks at Mexico's Zapatista movement, and why the movement was able to mobilize sympathy and support for the indigenous agenda inside and outside of the country, yet failed to achieve their goals vis-à-vis the Mexican state.

Memoirs of a Beatnik
Long regarded as an underground classic for its gritty and unabashedly erotic portrayal of the Beat years, Memoirs of a Beatnik is a moving account of a powerful woman artist coming of age sensually and intellectually in a movement dominated by a small confederacy of men, many of whom she lived with and loved. Filled with anecdotes about her adventures in New York City, Diane di Prima's memoir shows her learning to "raise her rebellion into art," and making her way toward literary success. Memoirs of a Beatnik offers a fascinating narrative about the courage and triumphs of the imagination.

Ethnobotany of Mexico
This book reviews the history, current state of knowledge, and different research approaches and techniques of studies on interactions between humans and plants in an important area of agriculture and ongoing plant domestication: Mesoamerica. Leading scholars and key research groups in Mexico discuss essential topics as well as contributions from international research groups that have conducted studies on ethnobotany and domestication of plants in the region. Such a convocation will produce an interesting discussion about future investigation and conservation of regional human cultures, genetic resources, and cultural and ecological processes that are critical for global sustainability.
Lobela
Lobela is the first volume of poetry written by Justo Bolekia Boleka, poet, author, and linguist. In these poems, Boleka expresses his connection to his native land, Equatorial Guinea, the only nation in Sub-Saharan Africa whose language of colonization is Spanish. Gods, goddesses, adoration of elders, customs, longing for a lost land, and lost way of life are all part of these poetic expressions. Originally in Spanish, replete with songs, expressions, chants, and cadences from his native Bubi language, English readers will now have access to these expressions in this bi-lingual edition.
Engineering
This report reviews engineering's importance to human, economic, social and cultural development and in addressing the UN Millennium Development Goals. Engineering tends to be viewed as a national issue, but engineering knowledge, companies, conferences and journals, all demonstrate that it is as international as science. The report reviews the role of engineering in development, and covers issues including poverty reduction, sustainable development, climate change mitigation and adaptation. It presents the various fields of engineering around the world and is intended to identify issues and challenges facing engineering, promote better understanding of engineering and its role, and highlight ways of making engineering more attractive to young people, especially women.--Publisher's description.
