Surreal and gothic, The Iliac Crest is a masterful excavation of forgotten Mexican women writers, illustrating the myriad ways that gendered language can wield destructive power. On a dark and stormy night, two mysterious women invade an unnamed narrator’s house, where they proceed to ruthlessly question their host’s identity. The women are strangely intimate―even inventing together an incomprehensible, fluid language―and harass the narrator by repeatedly claiming that they know his greatest secret: that he is, in fact, a woman. As the increasingly frantic protagonist fails to defend his supposed masculinity, he eventually finds himself in a sanatorium. Published for the first time i...

In Brazil, the country with the largest population of African descent in the Americas, the idea of race underwent a dramatic shift in the first half of the twentieth century. Brazilian authorities, who had considered race a biological fact, began to view it as a cultural and environmental condition. Jerry Dávila explores the significance of this transition by looking at the history of the Rio de Janeiro school system between 1917 and 1945. He demonstrates how, in the period between the world wars, the dramatic proliferation of social policy initiatives in Brazil was subtly but powerfully shaped by beliefs that racially mixed and nonwhite Brazilians could be symbolically, if not physically, ...

A leitura do mundo precede a leitura da palavra, nos diz Paulo Freire. Acredito que esse seja um bom ponto de partida para apresentar as obras que compõem esta coletânea. Ao aceitarmos essa premissa de Freire, automaticamente somos convidados a fazer com que essa leitura do mundo se transforme em palavra.
O livro reúne textos que tecem diálogos formulados a partir do reconhecimento do caráter científico da Pedagogia, de sua condição de saber especializado sobre educação e do curso de Pedagogia como lócus de formação de pedagogos(as) com estatuto profissional específico, para atuação dentro e fora das escolas, cujo perfil engloba saberes e habilidades necessárias para a ação educativa, visando o desenvolvimento humano e social sob finalidades emancipatórias. Aposta-se que um olhar da Pedagogia em torno de si mesma, como campo epistêmico, pode provocar a emergência de questões que favorecem o resgate e o fortalecimento da discussão acerca da identidade desse campo, do curs...

All the characteristics and driving force of The Cleveland Clinic are to be found in this book on pelvic ?oor function. The Cleveland Clinic is a group practice founded in 1921 on the principles of cooperation,collaboration,and collegiality.Its founders believed that many physicians working together will discover better solutions to medical problems than physicians working in isolation. They believed that the combination of disciplines, with their inherent differences in philosophy and skills, will produce a better outcome than might have evolved singularly. The power of the collaborative approach is on full display in this book. The pelvic ?oor unites three separate organ systems. Before this time, each has been approached individually. Urologists, gynecologists, and colorectal surgeons are each trained in their own disciplines, and the pelvic ?oor is subsumed in these larger ?elds of study. When they combine their focus on the pelvic ?oor, they bring their unique perspectives and different approaches to a common goal: the relief of pelvic ?oor syndromes such as incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.
