Vida campesina

Si bien esta publicación explora los conocimientos y manifestaciones asociados a la cotidianidad de la vida campesina, centra su mirada en la fortaleza organizativa de quienes habitan el páramo. El campesinado de Sumapaz reconoce, mediante sus propios relatos, la fuerza de las huellas que han dejado la violencia y la estigmatización ideológica a causa del conflicto por la tenencia de la tierra en el país a lo largo del siglo XX e inicios del XXI. También reconoce que esta historia, que atraviesa sus formas de relacionarse, habitar y manifestarse, es quizás el núcleo que ha dado impulso a unas formas y procesos organizativos particulares. Y en este eje es donde se encuentra el patrimonio que vive y nutre la vida de campesinas y campesinos del Sumapaz.

Of Love and Papers

A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org. Of Love and Papers explores how immigration policies are fundamentally reshaping Latino families. Drawing on two waves of interviews with undocumented young adults, Enriquez investigates how immigration status creeps into the most personal aspects of everyday life, intersecting with gender to constrain family formation. The imprint of illegality remains, even upon obtaining DACA or permanent residency. Interweaving the perspectives of US citizen romantic partners and children, Enriquez illustrates the multigenerational punishment that limits the upward mobility of Latino families. Of Love and Papers sparks an intimate understanding of contemporary US immigration policies and their enduring consequences for immigrant families.

Globalization is often thought of as an abstract process that happens "out there" in the world. But people are ultimately the driving force of global change, and people have bodies that are absent from current conversations about globalization. The original scholarly research and first-person accounts of embodiment in this volume explore the role of bodies in the flows of people, money, commodities, and ideas across borders. From Zumba fitness classes to martial arts to fashion blogs and the meanings of tattooing, the contributors examine migrating body practices and ideals that stretch across national boundaries.

Feminism, Violence, and Representation in Modern Italy

Can the way a word is used give legitimacy to a political movement? Feminism, Violence, and Representation in Modern Italy traces the use of the word "femminicidio" (or "femicide") as a tool to mobilize Italian feminists, particularly the Union of Women in Italy (UDI). Based on nearly two years of fieldwork among feminist activists, Giovanna Parmigiani takes a broad look at the many ways in which violence inflects the lives of women in Italy. From unchallenged gendered grammar rules to the representation of women as victims, Parmigiani examines the devaluing of women's contribution to their communities through the words and experiences of the women she interviews. She describes the first use...
