Globalisation, Global Justice and Social Work
Exploring the effects of the past decade's neoliberalism and globalization on world-wide social work, this book also grapples with the implications for social work practice of the global social justice/anti-corporate and anti-capitalist movement.
After Exile
Can an exiled writer ever really go home again? What of the writers of Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile, whose status as exiles in the 1970s and 1980s largely defined their identities and subject matter? After Exile takes a critical look at these writers, at the effect of exile on their work, and at the complexities of homecoming -- a fraught possibility when democracy was restored to each of these countries. Both famous and lesser known writers people this story of dislocation and relocation, among them Jose Donoso, Ana Vasquez, Luisa Valenzuela, Cristina Peri Rossi, and Mario Benedetti. In their work -- and their predicament -- Amy K. Kaminsky considers the representation of both physical upr...

Entangled Heritages
Relying on the concept of a shared history, this book argues that we can speak of a shared heritage that is common in terms of the basic grammar of heritage and articulated histories, but divided alongside the basic difference between colonizers and colonized. This problematic is also evident in contemporary uses of the past. The last decades were crucial to the emergence of new debates: subcultures, new identities, hidden voices and multicultural discourse as a kind of new hegemonic platform also involving concepts of heritage and/or memory. Thereby we can observe a proliferation of heritage agents, especially beyond the scope of the nation state. This volume gets beyond a container vision ...
El fracaso del consenso de Washington
La puerta abierta al análisis del resultado de la aplicación del Consenso de Washington frente a la claridad del caso, sumado al relevante papel que desempeñaron las empresas españolas en Argentina, motivaron al Observatorio de la Deuda en la Globalización (ODG) emprender la tarea de la presente compilación. En ella se reúnen reflexiones sobre la naturaleza, aplicación e impacto de la disciplina neoliberal en el país, que abordan el tema desde diferentes enfoques para converger en una conclusión unánime: su evidente fracaso. La exigencia popular apuntaba a todos los responsables del desastre neoliberal: los capitales locales y extranjeros más concentrados, las FFAA, la clase gobe...

Women, Feminism, and Social Change in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, 1890-1940
Feminists in the Southern Cone countries?Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay?between 1910 and 1930 obliged political leaders to consider gender in labor regulation, civil codes, public health programs, and politics. Feminism thus became a factor in the modernization of theseøgeographically linked but diverse societies in Latin America. Although feminists did not present a unified front in the discussion of divorce, reproductive rights, and public-health schemes to regulate sex and marriage, this work identifies feminism as a trigger for such discussion, which generated public and political debate on gender roles and social change. Asunci¢n Lavrin recounts changes inøgender relations and the role of women in each of the three countries, thereby contributing an enormous amount of new information and incisive analysis to the histories of Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay.
Decolonizing Patagonia
In Decolonizing Patagonia: Mapuche Peoples and State Formation in Argentina, Lucas Savino examines Indigenous efforts for self-determination, territorial autonomy, and decolonization in Northern Patagonia, Argentina. Through an analysis of the ways in which Mapuche activists organize in particular localities in the province of Neuquén, this book contributes to broader theoretical understandings of collective identity formation and Indigenous activism under multicultural neoliberal regimes of citizenship. Building on interdisciplinary contributions on state formation, citizenship, and collective identity formation, Savino demonstrates that territorial struggles and the importance of the local political level are crucial for understanding how collective identities are configured.
La cultura popular entra a la escuela
Esta investigación se propone analizar los proyectos pedagógicos de la Escuela “Héctor Valdivielso”, una de las obras de los Hermanos Lassallanos, impartidos durante el año 2007, a los fines de indagar cómo el proyecto educativo en general, y los proyectos áulicos en particular, se desprenden de los habitus de los alumnos. La particularidad de esta escuela no radica solamente en la posibilidad de los sectores empobrecidos de acceder a una educación privada pero gratuita sino que también se encuentra trabajando en clave de educación popular, siguiendo fundamentalmente, las lecciones de Paulo Freire.
