Language Teacher Education Beyond Borders

This volume looks at the preparation of future critical language teachers in the face of an increasingly multilingual and transcultural contemporary world. This is seen through the lens of the collapse of Nation-State borders that crumble in the face of migration and the intense flow of languages that comes with it. It brings together international research that problematizes, theorizes, re-positions and re-conceptualizes myriad structural, systemic, ideological, political and pedagogical issues that intersect with the possibilities and impossibilities of the development of language teachers' agency. The volume examines the needs of linguistically diverse student populations and considers the socio-cultural and socio-political barriers that interfere with the exercise of teacher agency for social justice in language classrooms. It offers a theoretical and empirical overview of how language teacher education has addressed multilingualism and transculturalism in critical approaches in many complex countries in their diversity and/or postcolonial history, including Brazil, Qazaqstan, Scotland, and Thailand.

Mulheres, gênero e sexualidades na sociedade

A violência contra a mulher tem sido uma das características marcantes da sociedade brasileira e perpassa todas as classes sociais, muitas vezes vista de forma natural. Os dados do Anuário Brasileiro de Segurança Pública de 2020, evidenciam índices preocupantes de aumento: 648 mulheres foram vítimas de feminicídios no primeiro semestre de 2020, ou seja, um aumento e 1,9% em relação ao mesmo período em 2019. Essa é uma constatação histórico-cultural que exige ações educativas consistentes, sistemáticas de maneira que possam trabalhar as subjetividades das pessoas, a partir de valores da dignidade, do respeito ao ser humano, na concepção de direito à diferença na igualdade. Tratar de temas dessa natureza são contribuições imprescindíveis para os processos formativos de todas as pessoas, em todos os níveis de escolarização e, em todas as áreas de conhecimento. Este livro, portanto, contribui para ampliar e fortalecer o debate, com uma vasta e importante produção, ao tratar da violência em sua relação com: Gênero, Sexualidade e como os mesmos são tratados na sociedade.

The politics of slavery and slave trade in nineteenth-century Cuba and Brazil is the subject of this acclaimed study, first published in Brazil in 2010 and now available for the first time in English. Cubans and Brazilians were geographically separate from each other, but they faced common global challenges that unified the way they re-created their slave systems between 1790 and 1850 on a basis completely departed from centuries-old colonial slavery. Here the authors examine the early arguments and strategies in favor of slavery and the slave trade and show how they were affected by the expansion of the global market for tropical goods, the American Revolution, the Haitian Revolution, the collapse of Iberian monarchies, British abolitionism, and the international pressure opposing the transatlantic slave trade. This comprehensive survey contributes to the comparative history of slavery, placing the subject in a global context rather than simply comparing the two societies as isolated units.
