Against Racism
Powerful narratives often describe Latin American nations as fundamentally mestizo. These narratives have hampered the acknowledgment of racism in the region, but recent multiculturalist reforms have increased recognition of Black and Indigenous identities and cultures. Multiculturalism may focus on identity and visibility and address more casual and social forms of racism, but can also distract attention from structural racism and racialized inequality, and constrain larger antiracist initiatives. Additionally, multiple understandings of how racism and antiracism fit into projects of social transformation make racism a complex and multifaceted issue. The essays in Against Racism examine actors in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico that move beyond recognition politics to address structural inequalities and material conflicts and build common ground with other marginalized groups. The organizations in this study advocate an approach to deep social structural transformation that is inclusive, fosters alliances, and is inspired by a radical imagination.
Contra o Racismo
Narrativas poderosasdescrevem as nações latino-americanas comofundamentalmente mestiças. Essas narrativasdificultaram o reconhecimento do racismona região, mas as recentes viradasmulticulturalistas aumentaram oreconhecimento das culturas e das identidades negras eindígenas. O multiculturalismo podefocar em questões de identidade evisibilidade e abordar formas despreocupadas de racismo,mas também pode desviar a atenção doracismo estrutural e da desigualdaderacializada e, assim, restringir iniciativas antirracistasmais amplas. Além disso, múltiplos entendimentos decomo o racismo e o antirracismo seinserem em projetos de transformação socialtornam o racismo uma questão complexa emultifacetada. Os sete ensaios de Contra oracismo investigam atores no Brasil, Colômbia,Equador e México que vão além da política dereconhecimento para abordar desigualdadesestruturais e construir um terreno comum comoutros grupos marginalizados. Asorganizações deste estudo defendem uma abordagem detransformação estrutural social quepromova alianças, seja inclusiva e inspiradapor uma imaginação radical.
¿Cómo va a ser la montaña un dios?
«Y es que la razón occidental se ríe de las creencias de indios y negros. ¿Cómo va a ser la montaña un dios? Hagámosle un agujero y saquemos ese puto carbón». ¿Cómo va a ser la montaña un dios? es un viaje de ida y vuelta por dos universos separados por miles de kilómetros, pero interconectados por varios hilos: el carbón y la minería, el capital y su logística portuaria, la migración y el exilio. Eduardo Romero traza un puente entre Asturias y Colombia, y nos hace partícipes de una historia real —maravillosamente contada— en la que el «azar global» conecta el destino común de los de abajo.
Contra el racismo
Las narrativas dominantes a menudo describen a las naciones latinoamericanas como fundamentalmente mestizas, lo que ha dificultado reconocer el racismo en la región. Las reformas multiculturales recientes han contribuido al reconocimiento de las identidades y culturas negras e indígenas. Aunque el multiculturalismo puede centrarse en la identidad y la visibilidad y abordar formas más casuales y sociales de racismo, también puede distraer la atención del racismo estructural y la inequidad racial, y limitar iniciativas antirracistas más amplias. Adicionalmente, las diversas formas de comprender el modo en que el racismo y el antirracismo encajan en proyectos de transformación social los...
Classical And Quantum Dynamics In Condensed Phase Simulations: Proceedings Of The International School Of Physics
The school held at Villa Marigola, Lerici, Italy, in July 1997 was very much an educational experiment aimed not just at teaching a new generation of students the latest developments in computer simulation methods and theory, but also at bringing together researchers from the condensed matter computer simulation community, the biophysical chemistry community and the quantum dynamics community to confront the shared problem: the development of methods to treat the dynamics of quantum condensed phase systems.This volume collects the lectures delivered there. Due to the focus of the school, the contributions divide along natural lines into two broad groups: (1) the most sophisticated forms of the art of computer simulation, including biased phase space sampling schemes, methods which address the multiplicity of time scales in condensed phase problems, and static equilibrium methods for treating quantum systems; (2) the contributions on quantum dynamics, including methods for mixing quantum and classical dynamics in condensed phase simulations and methods capable of treating all degrees of freedom quantum-mechanically.
Yum! MmMm! Que Rico!
Chocolate, papaya, corn, and potatoes - these are only a taste of the many delicious foods native to the Americas and celebrated in this delightful collection. Imaginative, evocative poems and exuberant illustrations introduce 14 different indigenous foods, along with a descriptive paragraph of information for each.
Congressional Record
The Congressional Record is the official record of the proceedings and debates of the United States Congress. It is published daily when Congress is in session. The Congressional Record began publication in 1873. Debates for sessions prior to 1873 are recorded in The Debates and Proceedings in the Congress of the United States (1789-1824), the Register of Debates in Congress (1824-1837), and the Congressional Globe (1833-1873)
