Gender and Sustainability
Gender and Sustainability deals with women's struggles to contend with global forces—environmental change, economic development, discrimination and stereotyping about the roles of women, and diminishing access to natural resources—not in the abstract but in everyday life. It addresses the lived complexities of the relationship between gender and sustainability.
Suspect Freedoms
Beginning in the early nineteenth century, Cubans migrated to New York City to organize and protest against Spanish colonial rule. While revolutionary wars raged in Cuba, expatriates envisioned, dissected, and redefined meanings of independence and nationhood. An underlying element was the concept of Cubanidad, a shared sense of what it meant to be Cuban. Deeply influenced by discussions of slavery, freedom, masculinity, and United States imperialism, the question of what and who constituted “being Cuban” remained in flux and often, suspect. The first book to explore Cuban racial and sexual politics in New York during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Suspect Freedoms chronicles th...
Mexico Today [2 volumes]
Providing over 200 entries on politics, government, economics, society, culture, and much more, this two-volume work brings modern Mexico to life. Viva Mexico! Border sharer. Major trade partner. Exporter of culture and citizens. Tourist destination. Mexico has always been of the utmost significance to the United States, with the shared 2,000-mile border, historical ties in mutual territory, and history of Mexican labor coming north and American tourists heading south. Fresh, current information on Mexico, the North American hotspot and gateway to Latin America, is always in demand by students and general readers and travelers. This is the best ready-reference on the crucial topics that define Mexico today. More than 200 essay entries provide quick, authoritative insight into the Mexican politics and government, society, institutions, events, culture, economy, people, issues, environment, and states and places. Written mostly by Mexicans and Mexican Americans, this set gives an accurate and wide view of the United States's dynamic southern neighbor. Each entry has further reading suggestions; a chronology, selected bibliography, and photographs complement the text.
¿Legitimidad o reconocimiento? Las investigadoras del SNI. Retos y propuestas
Este libro plantea una pregunta cuya respuesta implica ejercitar el pensamiento para la comprensión de lo que sucede en el ámbito de la investigación hecha por mujeres en México. La pregunta “¿legitimidad o reconocimiento?” sugiere la necesidad de construir espacios de oportunidad legítimos que promuevan la participación de las mujeres en el desarrollo de la ciencia y la innovación tecnológica mexicanas. ¿Es la legitimidad de la actividad investigadora de las mujeres en el marco del Sistema Nacional de Investigadores una batalla cultural que aún no concluye? ¿Falta abrir ventanas de visibilidad e inclusión para las propuestas de generación y aplicación del conocimiento diseñadas por las investigadoras? Tal parece que el carácter legítimo del quehacer investigador de las académicas y científicas nacionales exige una mayor equidad y el cambio cultural que propicie la inclusión de las mujeres investigadoras que rompa los muros de contención, derribe los techos de cristal y trascienda los pisos lodosos que impiden el desarrollo armónico de las mujeres.
LOS MÚLTIPLES ROSTROS DE LA CIUDADANÍA
La presencia de múltiples culturas en México se refleja en una diversidad de identidades políticas, culturales, sociales y territoriales que a su vez generan una pluralidad de sistemas jurídicos para regular la vida en comunidad. Esta obra habla de esa pluralidad jurídico-política y de la diversidad cultural que, al combinarse, reflejan la riqueza y complejidad en la cual se ejercen atributos de la ciudadanía y la democracia, la disputa por el poder local y la representación política. En este ejercicio cotidiano y diferenciado, se distingue cómo la ciudadanía tiene múltiples rostros: indígena/colectiva/comunitaria; individual/liberal; agraria/comunal; la doble ciudadanía con la...

Handbook of Public Pedagogy
Bringing together scholars, public intellectuals, and activists from across the field of education, the Handbook of Public Pedagogy explores and maps the terrain of this burgeoning field. For the first time in one comprehensive volume, readers will be able to learn about the history and scope of the concept and practices of public pedagogy. What is 'public pedagogy'? What theories, research, aims, and values inform it? What does it look like in practice? Offering a wide range of differing, even diverging, perspectives on how the 'public' might operate as a pedagogical agent, this Handbook provides new ways of understanding educational practice, both within and without schools. It implores teachers, researchers, and theorists to reconsider their foundational understanding of what counts as pedagogy and of how and where the process of education occurs. The questions it raises and the critical analyses they require provide curriculum and educational workers and scholars at large with new ways of understanding educational practice, both within and without schools.
