O livro traz uma perspectiva conceitual revisitada para os direitos humanos, apresentando a necessidade de rompimento com a epistemologia dominante na América Latina. Foi realizado um estudo de alguns casos sobre Justiça de Transição e as violações aos Direitos Humanos cometidas durante a ditadura civil-militar brasileira (1964-1985). A perspectiva adotada é a do Sistema Interamericano de Direitos Humanos e considera a forma como o conceito de Justiça de Transição foi construído mundialmente. São trabalhados os conceitos de modernidade, de eurocentrismo e dos legados das colonialidades – poder, saber, ser e gênero. A partir da aplicação da teoria decolonial e das previsões do Novo Constitucionalismo Latino-Americano, aborda a possibilidade de reconhecimento da América Latina como lócus de enunciação e a necessidade de revisão do conceito de direitos humanos, aprofundando o debate sobre a geopolítica do conhecimento no diálogo Norte-Sul.

Hochstetler and Kec...

Whilst equal pay, maternity rights and sex discrimination, including sexual harassment, have received attention from feminist scholars, there is an increasing awareness that it is the whole of the working environment that must be examined if real progress is to be made.

This study was written in English in the 1930s when Adorno, one of the 20th century's most influential thinkers, was living in the United States. It is a pioneering analysis of a member of what we now call the Radical Right—the now-forgotten Martin Luther Thomas, an American fascist-style demagogue who used the radio to appeal to and to manipulate his adherents.
