Actores sociales, acciones colectivas y transformación social.
En esta obra se analizan varios procesos de educación, acción colectiva, inclusión social, territorio, memoria e identidad, como resultado de los proyectos de investigación- intervención desarrollados por docentes y estudiantes de la Facultad de Sociología de la Universidad Santo Tomás. Gracias a la articulación con diferentes sectores sociales y comunidades, principalmente madres, lideresas comunitarias, adultos mayores, campesinos, niños, niñas y jóvenes, los autores exploran herramientas teóricas y metodológicas que implementan en organizaciones sociales, instituciones educativas y entidades públicas y privadas, con el propósito de mitigar o transformar diversas problemáticas locales.
Nuevo Chile, acción colectiva y tejido social.
A mediados de los años cincuenta se empieza a observar la proliferación de las llamadas urbanizaciones piratas y las invasiones de terrenos en Bogotá. En un primer momento, la respuesta desde el Estado se centró en su erradicación, pero luego dio paso a los programas de legalización y regularización de asentamientos informales. Una de las organizaciones más importantes en materia de apoyo a la población “destechada” en Colombia ha sido la Central Nacional Provivienda (Cenaprov), un referente nacional en materia de lucha por la vivienda. A partir del trabajo realizado entre 2015 y 2018 por líderes comunitarios y la Facultad de Sociología de la Universidad Santo Tomás, en esta obra se reconstruye la memoria del proceso de urbanización y consolidación del barrio Nuevo Chile, que se encuentra localizado al sur de la ciudad de Bogotá, y en cuyo surgimiento fue vital el papel de Cenaprov. Por lo anterior, es esta una contribución invaluable para la formación de profesionales comprometidos con las comunidades y el fortalecimiento del vínculo universidad-sociedad.

Clinical Guidelines for Chronic Conditions in the European Union
"A new study by a team of European researchers examines for the first time the various national practices relating to clinical guidelines. It looks at the situation in 29 European countries (the EU27, plus Norway and Switzerland) and concludes that while some countries might have made progress many others are still relying on sporadic and unclear processes. There are, however, tried and tested examples which, if shared, could assure and improve the quality of health care across Europe."--Publisher's website.

A Fighting Chance
Seventeen-year-old Miguel Angel spends every minute after school at the Packing Shed, working out with the Alisal Boxing Club.

Frontier Road
Frontier Road uses the history of one road in southern Colombia—known locally as “the trampoline of death”—to demonstrate how state-building processes and practices have depended on the production and maintenance of frontiers as inclusive-exclusive zones, often through violent means. Considers the topic from multiple perspectives, including ethnography of the state, the dynamics of frontiers, and the nature of postcolonial power, space, and violence Draws attention to the political, environmental, and racial dynamics involved in the history and development of transport infrastructure in the Amazon region Examines the violence that has sustained the state through time and space, as well as the ways in which ordinary people have made sense of and contested that violence in everyday life Incorporates a broad range of engaging sources, such as missionary and government archives, travel writing, and oral histories
The Presence of the Past
Some people make photo albums, collect antiques, or visit historic battlefields. Others keep diaries, plan annual family gatherings, or stitch together patchwork quilts in a tradition learned from grandparents. Each of us has ways of communing with the past, and our reasons for doing so are as varied as our memories. In a sweeping survey, Roy Rosenzweig and David Thelen asked 1,500 Americans about their connection to the past and how it influences their daily lives and hopes for the future. The result is a surprisingly candid series of conversations and reflections on how the past infuses the present with meaning. Rosenzweig and Thelen found that people assemble their experiences into narrat...
Periodization and Sovereignty
Despite all recent challenges to stage-oriented histories, the idea of a division between a "medieval" and a "modern" period has survived, even flourished, in academia. Periodization and Sovereignty demonstrates that this survival is no innocent affair. By examining periodization together with the two controversial categories of feudalism and secularization, Kathleen Davis exposes the relationship between the constitution of "the Middle Ages" and the history of sovereignty, slavery, and colonialism. This book's groundbreaking investigation of feudal historiography finds that the historical formation of "feudalism" mediated the theorization of sovereignty and a social contract, even as it pro...
