The Middle
''That's my list of things to look forward to. It's pretty insignificant compared to the list of reasons to give up. Giving up is easy. I like easy. And I've always been one known for taking the easy way out.'' This book is about pain and suffering, about struggling between your mind and your heart. And how one can move past it. By feeling it. All of it. My hope is that this book shows you that you are not alone in your woes. I feel it too.
The Palgrave Handbook of Critical Race and Gender
This handbook unravels the complexities of the global and local entanglements of race, gender and intersectionality within racial capitalism in times of #MeToo, #BlackLivesMatter, the Chilean uprising, Anti-Muslim racism, backlash against trans and queer politics, and global struggles against modern colonial femicide and extractivism. Contributors chart intersectional and decolonial perspectives on race and gender research across North America, Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, and South Africa, centering theoretical understandings of how these categories are imbricated and how they operate and mean individually and together. This book offers new ways to think about what is absent/present and why, how erasure works in historical and contemporary theoretical accounts of the complexity of lived experiences of race and gender, and how, as new issues arise, intersectionalities (re)emerge in the politics of race and gender. This handbook will be of interest to students and scholars across the social sciences and humanities.
Brazil in Advancing Pharmacotherapy and Clinical Pharmacy in Latin America
The Fourth Brazilian Congress of Pharmacotherapy and Clinical Pharmacy showcases Brazil's role within the vibrant and evolving community of pharmacotherapy and clinical pharmacy in Latin America. This volume offers a window into Brazil's ongoing contributions as part of a collective Latin American effort, presenting a comprehensive collection of scientific investigations and documented clinical experience reports that address important healthcare challenges. Containing hundreds of peer-reviewed works, evaluated through a double-blind review process, this publication documents ongoing progress in evidence-based, patient-centered pharmaceutical care. The compilation adheres to rigorous scientific standards, with submissions evaluated for methodological soundness, clinical relevance, and adherence to ethical guidelines. Systematically organized to facilitate knowledge transfer, this resource offers understandings into emerging therapeutic protocols, pharmacological interventions, and clinical decision-making frameworks. For researchers, clinicians, and policymakers, this publication provides an essential, data-driven foundation for advancing pharmaceutical practice in the region.
Migrant Frontiers
This book examines today’s massive migrations between Global South and Global North in light of Spain and Portugal’s complicated colonial legacies. It offers unique material on Spanish-speaking and Lusophone Africa in conjunction to transatlantic and transpacific perspectives encompassing the Americas, Asia, and the Caribbean. For the first time, these are brought together to explore how movement within and beyond these former metropoles came to define the Iberian Peninsula. The collection is composed of papers that study human mobility in Spanish-speaking or Lusophone contexts from a myriad of approaches. The project thus sheds critical light on migratory movement within the Luso-Hispanic world, and also beyond its traditional geo-linguistic parameters, through an eclectic and inter-disciplinary collection of essays, traversing anthropology, literary studies, theater, and popular culture. Beyond focusing solely on the geo-political limits of Peninsular space, several essays interrogate the legacies of Iberian colonial projects in a global perspective, and how the discursive underpinnings of these impact the politics of migration in the broader Luso-Hispanic world.
Advances in Fashion and Design Research
This book offers a multidisciplinary perspective on research and developments at the interface between industrial design, textile engineering and fashion. It covers advances in fashion and product design, and in textile production alike, reporting on smart and sustainable industrial procedures and 3D printing, issues in marketing and communication, and topics concerning social responsibility, sustainability, emotions, creativity and education. It highlights research that is expected to foster the development of design and fashion on a global and interdisciplinary scale. Gathering the proceedings of the 5th International Fashion and Design Congress, CIMODE 2022, held on July 4-7, 2022, in Guimarães, Portugal, this book offers extensive information and a source of inspiration to both researchers and professionals in the field of fashion, design, engineering, communication as well as education.
Laboring in the Shadow of Empire
Laboring in the Shadow of Empire: Race, Gender, and Care Work in Portugal examines the everyday lives of an African-descendant care service workforce that labors in an ostensibly “anti-racial” Europe and against the backdrop of the Portuguese colonial empire. While much of the literature on global care work has focused on Asian and Latine migrant care workers, there is comparatively less research that explicitly examines African care workers and their migration histories to Europe. Sociologist Celeste Vaughan Curington focuses on Portugal—a European setting with comparatively liberal policies around family settlement and naturalization for migrants. In this setting, rapid urbanization ...
Amazonia and Global Change
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 186. Amazonia and Global Change synthesizes results of the Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (LBA) for scientists and students of Earth system science and global environmental change. LBA, led by Brazil, asks how Amazonia currently functions in the global climate and biogeochemical systems and how the functioning of Amazonia will respond to the combined pressures of climate and land use change, such as Wet season and dry season aerosol concentrations and their effects on diffuse radiation and photosynthesis Increasing greenhouse gas concentration, deforestation, widespread bi...
