Lifelong Learning, Young Adults and the Challenges of Disadvantage in Europe
This open access book challenges international policy ‘groupthink’ about lifelong learning. Adult learning – too long a servant of business competitiveness – should be reimagined as central to democratic society. Young adults, especially from disadvantaged backgrounds, engage more in education and training, and learn more day-to-day at work, if provision is democratically organised and based on enduring and inclusive institutional networks, and when jobs encourage and reward the acquisition of skills. Using innovative qualitative and quantitative methods, the contributors develop a critical perspective on dominant policies, investigating – across the European Union and Australia â€...
¿Existen las adicciones sin sustancias?
Adicciones sin sustancia, comportamentales, conductuales. TerminologÃa que se refiere a la presencia de desajustes compulsivos de la conducta sin mediar sustancias. Tradicionalmente hemos utilizado dependencia para referirnos a la conducta en la que una sustancia consumida causa un malestar clÃnicamente significativo. Pero aparecieron conductas que se manifiestan como adictivas, sin sustancias que las provoquen. El debate se abre entre quienes consideran que tales conductas no deben clasificarse como adictivas y quienes aventuran que la conducta es similar a las dependencias tóxicas luego tales conductas deben ser consideradas adictivas.

Autobiography in Black and Brown
Richard Wright was the grandson of slaves, Richard Rodriguez the son of immigrants. One black, the other brown, each author prominently displays his race in the title of his autobiography: Black Boy and Brown. Wright was a radical left winger, while Rodriguez is widely viewed as a reactionary. Despite their differences, Michael Nieto Garcia points out, the two share a preoccupation with issues of agency, class struggle, ethnic identity, the search for community, and the quest for social justice. Garcia’s study, the first to compare these two widely read writers, argues that ethnic autobiography reflects the complexity of ethnic identity, revealing a narrative self that is bound to a visibl...
The New Latin American Mission History
The subject of missions-formal efforts at religious conversion of native peoples of the Americas by colonizing powers-is one that renders the modern student a bit uncomfortable. Where the mission enterprise was actuated by true belief it strikes the modern sensibility as fanaticism; where it sprang from territorial or economic motives it seems the rankest sort of hypocrisy. That both elements-greed and real faith-were usually present at the same time is bewildering. In this book seven scholars attempt to create a "new" mission history that deals honestly with the actions and philosophic motivations of the missionaries, both as individuals and organizations and as agents of secular powers, an...
