Civil Resistance Against 21st Century Authoritarianism. Defending Human Rights in the Global South
Populist authoritarian governments have jeopardized the human rights accomplishments of the 20th century. Ensuring their fulfillment has become a challenge for these governments and an issue for human rights defenders seeking to find ways to resist anti-democratic actions. This book seeks to expose the crisis of human rights at the hands of people who, despite rising to power through democratic means, now see democracy as a limiting institution that must be dismantled urgently. Restrictions on civil society and arbitrary detentions are some of the reasons why this populist and authoritarian vision is incompatible with human rights, which are guaranteed to some and denied to others. Through various narratives, the authors seek to recognize new spaces for struggle—such as political activism—to develop action-research tools in a context of crisis.
Resistencia civil contra los autoritarismos del siglo XXI
En todo el mundo, el activismo por los derechos humanos atraviesa hoy momentos críticos debido a la acción de gobiernos populistas autoritarios de derecha y de izquierda: restricciones al financiamiento extranjero para las ONG, campañas de desprestigio, cooptación de sectores de la sociedad civil y restricciones a los derechos fundamentales están debilitando su legitimidad y su eficacia. Sin embargo, los tiempos difíciles son también de resistencia y creatividad. Así lo muestran, por ejemplo, la movilización masiva en las calles de la India, las protestas periódicas contra los ataques de Bolsonaro a las libertades constitucionales en Brasil, el activismo valiente de las ONG venezol...

Native Life in South Africa
Native Life in South Africa (1916) is a book by Solomon T. Plaatje. Written while Plaatje was serving as General Secretary of the South African Native National Congress, the work shows the influence of American activist and socialist historian W. E. B. Du Bois, whom Plaatje met and befriended. Using historical analysis and firsthand accounts from native South Africans, Plaatje exposes the cruelty of colonialism and analyzes the significance of the 1913 Natives’ Land Act. “Awaking on Friday morning, June 20, 1913, the South African Native found himself, not actually a slave, but a pariah in the land of his birth.” Native Life in South Africa begins with the passage of the 1913 Natives’ Land Act, which made it illegal for Black South Africans to lease and purchase land outside of government designated reserves. The act, which was the first of many segregation laws passed by the Union Parliament, was devastating to millions of poor South African natives, most of whom relied on leasing land from white farmers to survive.Native Life in South Africa is a classic of South African literature reimagined for modern readers.
