Anthropology, Nationalism and Colonialism
A major contribution to the history of European anthropology, this book highlights the Porto School of Anthropology and analyses the work of its main mentor, Mendes Correia (1888-1960). It goes beyond a Portuguese focus to present a wider comparative analysis in which the colonial empire, knowledge of origins, ethnic identity and cultural practices all receive special attention. The analysis takes into account the fact that nationalism, as associated with an ethno-racial paradigm, decisively influenced discourse and scientific and political practices.

Sustainable procurement
“It's a fight against time." That is how the book begins, presenting a historical background of how the topic of sustainable production and consumption was included in the global agenda and reached Brazil.

In Chapters 2 and 3, readers will find inspiring examples of institutional procurement collected through exclusive interviews, news articles, corporate reports and scientific articles describing successful experiences in the public and private sectors, hig...
Rethinking Intercultural Education in Times of Migration and Displacement
Which are the main issues which are at the forefront of the academic discourse within the field of intercultural education today? That’s the central question on which the current volume attempts to shed some light. By presenting theoretical foundations, research findings, practical examples and case studies, the book helps readers to go beyond stereotypes and prejudices, strengthening the intercultural education principles in their practices. The diverse perspectives contained in the book, provided through contributions from authors from different countries, encourage readers to critically reflect on the promotion and further development of intercultural and multicultural education, and on the different approaches for effectively facing complex diversity issues in multicultural settings.
Age of Impact
In a time of correction, terrorism, corruption, unemployment, hunger, cancer, depression, in which we are constantly bombarded by catastrophic news, generating the "negative instinct" referred to by Hans Rosling, the question that surrounds us is: who cares? Based on a narrative that is both light and impressively profound, James Marins sets out to fight apathy and ignorance and make us feel the potential of the era in which we live. After all, our capacity for opinion, action, participation and collaboration at scale for systemic changes has never been greater. To understand our possibilities, we cannot limit ourselves to the narrow view of our personal horizon. We need a more comprehensive...
