Spanning from the early nineteenth century to today, this intellectual history examines the work of Latino writers who explored the major philosophic and political themes of their day, including the meaning and implementation of democracy, their democratic and cultural rights under U.S. dominion, their growing sense of nationhood, and the challenges of slavery and disenfranchisement of women in a democratic republic that had yet to realize its ideals. Over the course of two centuries, these Latino or Hispanic intellectuals were natural-born citizens of the United States, immigrants, or political refugees. Many of these intellectuals, whether citizens or not, strove to embrace and enliven suc...

Although he published relatively little in his lifetime, Harvey Sacks's lectures and papers were influential in sociology and sociolinguistics and played a major role in the development of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis. The recent publication of Sacks's "Lectures on Conversation" has provided an opportunity for a wide-ranging reassessment of his contribution.
Com o objetivo de constituir uma teorização crítica biográfica fronteiriça a partir de Em liberdade, de 1981 (por coincidência, o ano de meu nascimento), obra publicada pelo escritor e intelectual mineiro Silviano Santiago, este ensaio se instaura por meio de meu discurso transgressor. De modo que a transgressão aqui em destaque é tratada conceitualmente "em seu significado social", como ato ou opção de resistência, frente a um estatuto que impõe dominação e subserviência. Tal ato visa desobedecer a padrões autoritários, impostos violentamente a partir do estabelecimento do colonialismo e da escravidão, desta feita, esta transgressão se conflui com a desobediência epistêmica sobre a qual o intelectual argentino Walter Mignolo se debruça. Assim, impelido por tal evocação, opto por conceituações ancoradas no pensamento descolonial, em uma visada que privilegie pensadores/as negros/as e suas teorizações, algo que contempla também meu próprio ser, meu corpo preto fronteiriço, impulsionado por meu pensar, e por minha pesquisa, que roça a minha pele, eriçando-a, e me motivando a ser também transgressor.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of Hispanic applied linguistics, allowing students to understand the field from a variety of perspectives and offering insight into the ever-growing number of professional opportunies afforded to Spanish language program graduates. The goal of this book is to re-contextualize the notion of applied linguistics as simply the application of theoretical linguistic concepts to practical settings and to consider it as its own field that addresses language-based issues and problems in a real-world context. The book is organized into five parts: 1) perspectives on learning Spanish 2) issues and environments in Spanish teaching 3) Spanish in the professions 4) the discourses of Spanish and 5) social and political contexts for Spanish. The book’s all-inclusive coverage gives students the theoretical and sociocultural context for study in Hispanic applied linguistics while offering practical information on its application in the professional sector.
Many of us may have participated in grassroots groups, changing the world in small and big ways, from building playgrounds and feeding the homeless, to protesting wars and ending legal segregation. Beyond the obvious fruits of these activities, what are the broader consequences of volunteering for the participants, recipients of aid, and society as a whole? In this engaging new book, Nina Eliasoph encourages readers to reflect on their own experiences in civic associations as an entry point into bigger sociological, political, and philosophical issues, such as class inequality, how organizations work, differences in political systems around the globe, and the sources of moral selfhood.
