Entre a utopia e o cansaço
Por que as moradias em Cuba estão tão deterioradas e os carros são tão antigos? Existe internet na ilha? Por que tantos cubanos emigram? Por que existiram duas moedas e como está o cenário econômico do país? Há racismo e machismo em Cuba? E quanto à desigualdade social? Qual a situação da comunidade LGBTQIA+? Quais dificuldades o país enfrenta desde a morte de Fidel Castro? Todo mundo que estuda Cuba já teve de se debruçar sobre o conjunto de contradições que cada uma dessas perguntas suscita. Para o pensamento conservador, da extrema direita ao liberalismo democrático, só há uma explicação pueril: o socialismo falhou. Resta ao militante de esquerda ou aos estudiosos do...
Vivienda en arriendo en América Latina.
La vivienda en arriendo en América Latina ha tenido un aumento significativo en las principales ciudades en los últimos años, lo que ha provocado una diversidad de realidades y situaciones en este tipo de tenencia. En un contexto regional, donde la vivienda en propiedad ha sido una demanda históricamente predominante, y ha orientado la mayoría de los esfuerzos de las políticas habitacionales, vemos cómo el arriendo adquiere relevancia. Tanto a partir de la persistencia de viejos problemas de vivienda como el hacinamiento o allegamiento, así como a través de la emergencia de nuevas características, asociadas a la migración, la financiarización o la transformación de los asentam...
Eco-Sufficiency and Global Justice
As the twenty-first century faces a crisis of democracy and sustainability, this book tries to bring academics and globalisation activists into conversation. Through studies of global neoliberalism, ecological debt, climate change, and the ongoing devaluation of reproductive and subsistence labour, these essays women thinkers expose the limits of current scholarship in political economy, ecological economics, and sustainability science. The book introduces theoretical concepts for talking about humanity-nature links.
Ecofeminism as Politics
This is an exploration of the philosophical and political challenge of ecofeminism. It shows how the ecology movement has been held back by conceptual confusion over the implications of gender difference, while much that passes in the name of feminism is actually an obstacle to ecological change and global democracy. The author argues that ecofeminism reaches beyond contemporary social movements, being a synthesis of four revolutions in one: ecology is feminism is socialism is post-colonial struggle. Informed by a critical postmodern reading of the Marxist tradition, Salleh's ecofeminism integrates discourses on science, the body, culture, nature and political economy. The book opens with a short history of ecofeminism. Part Two establishes the basis for its epistemological challenge, while the third part consists of ecofeminist deconstructions of deep ecology, social ecology, ecosocialism and postmodern feminism. In the final section Salleh suggests that a powerful way forward can be found in commonalities between ecofeminist and indigenous struggles.
Hospicing Modernity
A thought-provoking guide to facing global pandemics, climate change, and other modern crises with maturity, humility, and integrity—for fans of Everything Is F*cked and Against Purity This book is not easy: it contains no quick-fix plan for a better, brighter tomorrow, and gives no ready-made answers. Instead, Vanessa Machado de Oliveira presents us with a challenge: to grow up, step up, and show up for ourselves, our communities, and the living Earth, and to interrupt the modern behavior patterns that are killing the planet we’re part of. Driven by expansion, colonialism, and resource extraction and propelled by neoliberalism and rabid consumption, our world is profoundly out of balanc...
An Ice Age Hunter
The story of a year in the life of an ice-age family as experienced by a young girl.
Social Justice and the City
Throughout his distinguished and influential career, David Harvey has defined and redefined the relationship between politics, capitalism, and the social aspects of geographical theory. Laying out Harvey's position that geography could not remain objective in the face of urban poverty and associated ills, Social Justice and the City is perhaps the most widely cited work in the field. Harvey analyzes core issues in city planning and policy--employment and housing location, zoning, transport costs, concentrations of poverty--asking in each case about the relationship between social justice and space. How, for example, do built-in assumptions about planning reinforce existing distributions of income? Rather than leading him to liberal, technocratic solutions, Harvey's line of inquiry pushes him in the direction of a "revolutionary geography," one that transcends the structural limitations of existing approaches to space. Harvey's emphasis on rigorous thought and theoretical innovation gives the volume an enduring appeal. This is a book that raises big questions, and for that reason geographers and other social scientists regularly return to it.

Persistence and Emergencies of Inequalities in Latin America
This book adopts a multidimensional approach to analyze both the historical and emerging factors that contribute to make Latin America and the Caribbean the most unequal region in the world. Social inequality is a historical characteristic of the region, but at the beginning of the 21st century, a handful of progressive governments seemed to be adopting policies that could reduce this historical trend. Many of these efforts, however, were blocked or reversed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which both exposed the persistence of historical trends and contributed to the emergency of new forms of inequality in the region. The different chapters in this contributed volume adopt a multidimensional, inte...
