Análise dos sistemas de proteção social na América Latina: Brasil, Chile e Cuba
Este livro vem preencher, de forma instigante, uma lacuna nos estudos sobre política social, indo além de sistematizar análises que avaliam ou comparam experiências, desenhos e trajetórias, embora também traga contributos valiosos nesta perspectiva. Insere tais realidades, inclusive a brasileira, no solo histórico comum da América Latina, o que é muito raro, e absolutamente necessário e enriquecedor. Traz estudos que traduzem os valiosos esforços de cooperação internacional entre importantes programas de pós-graduação brasileiros e de universidades chilena e cubana. Na ciência social esse esforço é imprescindível, como nos adverte José Martí mais uma vez: "nem o livro europeu, nem o livro ianque possuem a chave do enigma latino-americano". Martí já dizia que o caminho da história libertadora, verdadeira e real da América Latina exigia também a imperiosa construção de "um nós feito por nós". Nesta obra temos uma dessas essenciais produções. E que bem-vinda! Beatriz Augusto de Paiva
Desarrollo local y equidad en Cuba. Tomo II.
Un enfoque plural e inclusivo de las zonas de convergencia y disonancia entre el desarrollo local y la equidad en Cuba constituye el eje medular de esta obra que logra configurar un paisaje nacional sobre el tema. Veintiún artículos, de diferentes provincias del país y de autores de diversas edades, formaciones académicas y experiencias prácticas, tejen los hilos del texto, caracterizado por un estilo dialógico y propositivo. El análisis de los procesos de gestión y evaluación del desarrollo local, con un enfoque de equidad, unido al examen profundo de la articulación de actores, redes sociales y productos comunicativos innovadores hacen de este un libro necesario para comprender las transformaciones económicas y sociales de la Cuba actual.
Materialist Feminism
During the 1980s, capitalism triumphantly secured its global reach, anti-communist ideologies hammered home socialism's inherent failure, the New Left increasingly moved into the professional middle class--and many of feminism's earlier priorities were marginalized. "Identity politics", often formulated in terms of social reconstructionism or multiculturalism, has increasingly suppressed materialist feminism's systematic perspective, replacing it with discourse analysis or cultural politics. Materialist Feminism: A Reader argues against the retreat to multiculturalism for keeping invisible the material links among the explosion of meaning-making practices in highly industrialized social sectors, the exploitation of women's labor, and the appropriation of women's bodies that continues to undergird the scramble for profits and state power in multinational capitalism.
Woman Questions
For more than two decades Lise Vogel has been an important voice in feminist theory. Woman Questions brings Drawing upon the life stori essays on socialist feminism, Marxist theory, and the problem of equality. The collection provides not only a compendium of one influential thinker's work, but a thoughtful overview of the evolution of US socialist feminism. The essays are grouped in three sections covering the relationship between feminism and socialism, the significance of the Marxist theoretical tradition for women's liberation, and issues of difference, diversity, and equality. A lengthy autobiographical introduction offers readers access to Vogel's personal story--of civil rights work in Mississippi, the early women's liberation movement, a radical career switch, and growing up in a politically active family.

Human Learning: Biology, Brain, and Neuroscience
Human learning is studied in a variety of ways. Motor learning is often studied separately from verbal learning. Studies may delve into anatomy vs function, may view behavioral outcomes or look discretely at the molecular and cellular level of learning. All have merit but they are dispersed across a wide literature and rarely are the findings integrated and synthesized in a meaningful way. Human Learning: Biology, Brain, and Neuroscience synthesizes findings across these levels and types of learning and memory investigation.Divided into three sections, each section includes a discussion by the editors integrating themes and ideas that emerge across the chapters within each section. Section 1...
The Globalization of Poverty and the New World Order
In this new and expanded edition of Chossudovskys international best-seller, the author outlines the contours of a New World Order which feeds on human poverty and the destruction of the environment, generates social apartheid, encourages racism and ethnic strife and undermines the rights of women. The result as his detailed examples from all parts of the world show so convincingly, is a globalisation of poverty. This book is a skilful combination of lucid explanation and cogently argued critique of the fundamental directions in which our world is moving financially and economically. In this new enlarged edition -- which includes ten new chapters and a new introduction -- the author reviews the causes and consequences of famine in Sub-Saharan Africa, the dramatic meltdown of financial markets, the demise of State social programs and the devastation resulting from corporate downsizing and trade liberalisation. The book has been published in 11 languages. Over 100,000 copies sold world-wide.
The Rise of Southern Republicans
The transformation of Southern politics over the past fifty years has been one of the most significant developments in American political life. The emergence of formidable Republican strength in the previously solid Democratic South has generated a novel and highly competitive national battle for control of Congress. Tracing the slow and difficult rise of Republicans in the South over five decades, Earl and Merle Black tell the remarkable story of political upheaval. The Rise of Southern Republicans provides a compelling account of growing competitiveness in Southern party politics and elections. Through extraordinary research and analysis, the authors track Southern voters' shifting economi...
