Desacuerdos, Crisis y movimientos
Desacuerdos, crisis y movimientos recorre caminos insospechados, resalta las relaciones temáticas y metodológicas más subrepticias, para descartar, así, las conexiones cartográficas usuales de las literaturas y culturas latinoamericanas que abundan en los compendios académicos tradicionales. En una búsqueda por dialogar con las discusiones actuales, los capítulos de este libro estudian la literatura de América Latina en relación con la memoria, la política, el cine o la música, sin dejar de lado la complejidad de la literatura infantil y juvenil desde la potencia de lo posible. Se trata, pues, de abrir las fronteras de los estudios literarios para fijarse en otros estatutos, formatos y dimensiones culturales. Esta colección de capítulos y entrevistas es el resultado de un trabajo colaborativo y autogestionado del Semillero de Investigación en Literatura Latinoamericana (Silat), de la Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, sede Central. Este libro se constituye, entonces, en un paso más en el desarrollo investigativo de sus integrantes y en el fortalecimiento de los lazos que entre ellos se han tejido en el campo de los estudios literarios.

Between Race and Ethnicity
Arriving in New England first as crew members of whaling vessels, Afro-Portuguese immigrants from Cape Verde later came as permanent settlers and took work in the cranberry industry, on the docks, and as domestic workers. Marilyn Halter combines oral history with analyses of ships' records to chart the history and adaptation patterns of the Cape Verdean Americans. Though identifying themselves in ethnic terms, Cape Verdeans found that their African-European ancestry led their new society to view them as a racial group. Halter emphasizes racial and ethnic identity formation to show how Cape Verdeans set themselves apart from the African Americans while attempting to shrug off white society's exclusionary tactics. She also contrasts rural life on the bogs of Cape Cod with New Bedford’s urban community to reveal the ways immigrants established their own social and religious groups as they strove to maintain their Crioulo customs.
The IV Latin American Metabolic Profiling Society (LAMPS) symposium 2022
This Research Topic aims to gather the proceedings of the “IV Latin American Metabolic Profiling Society (LAMPS) Symposium”. Since the first Symposium in 2014 in Lima, Perú, the Latin American Metabolic Profiling Society (LAMPS) has periodically gathered researchers from the region to share their work. Though the discipline is still underdeveloped in Latin America, past meetings held in Rosario, Argentina, in 2016, and in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2018, have showcased presentations in all areas of metabolomics. After a hiatus of two years imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the fourth edition of the LAMPS Symposium will be held in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, this coming November (2nd ...
The Palgrave Handbook of Women’s Political Rights
This Palgrave Handbook provides a definitive account of women’s political rights across all major regions of the world, focusing both on women’s right to vote and women’s right to run for political office. This dual focus makes this the first book to combine historical overviews of debates about enfranchising women alongside analyses of more contemporary efforts to increase women’s political representation around the globe. Chapter authors map and assess the impact of these groundbreaking reforms, providing insight into these dynamics in a wide array of countries where women’s suffrage and representation have taken different paths and led to varying degrees of transformation. On the eve of many countries celebrating a century of women’s suffrage, as well as record numbers of women elected and appointed to political office, this timely volume offers an important introduction to ongoing developments related to women’s political empowerment worldwide. It will be of interest to students and scholars across the fields of gender and politics, women’s studies, history and sociology.

From Few to Many
From Few to Many is the first comprehensive look at Colombia's 1993 health system reforms. It describes the implementation of universal health insurance, including a subsidized system for the poor, and examines the impact of this and other reforms during a time when Colombia experienced crushing recession and internal conflict that displaced half a million people. Prior to the reforms, a quarter of the Colombian population had health insurance. Subsidies failed to reach the poor, who were vulnerable to catastrophic financial consequences of illness. Yet by 2008, 85 percent of the population benefited from health insurance. From Few to Many describes the challenges and benefits of implementing social health reforms in a developing country, exploring health care financing, institutional reform, the effects of political will on health care, and more. The reforms have provided important lessons not only for continued reform in Colombia, but also for other nations facing similar challenges.
