Global Latin America
"Latin America has a unique historical and cultural context, is home to emerging global powers such as Brazil and Mexico, and is tied to world regions including China, India, and Africa. Global Latin America considers this regional interconnectedness and examines its meaning and impact in a global world. Its innovative essays, interviews, and stories highlight the insights of public intellectuals, political leaders, artists, academics, and activists, thereby allowing students to gain an appreciation of the diversity and global relevance of Latin America in the twenty-first century"--Provided by publisher.
Enhancing Autonomy in Language Education
The book explores the idea that pedagogy for autonomy requires the integration of teacher and learner development and can be enhanced through a case-based approach in teacher education. A case-based approach values experiential professional learning and expands professional competences necessary to promote autonomy in schools: developing a critical view of (language) education; managing local constraints so as to open up spaces for manoeuvre; centring teaching on learning; interacting with others in the professional community. Two strategies to implement the approach are presented and illustrated. The first one involves teachers in designing, implementing and evaluating experiences of pedagogy for autonomy, which are the basis for writing professional narratives and building a case portfolio. The second draws on teachers’ pedagogical experience as the basis for the construction of case materials where experiential elements are combined with theoretical input and reflective tasks, so that the teachers who use those materials can reflect about and explore their own practice.
A Watershed in Global Governance?
Will governments be running the world in the next century? In this era of globalization, who will make the rules on investment, human rights and environment? How can citizens participate? These are some of the questions a team of researchers from World Resources Institute (WRI, Washington, D.C.), Lawyers' Environmental Action Team (LEAT, Dar Es Salaam) and South Asia address in an independent assessment of the World Commission on Dams (WCD).

A Construção Social do Bullying e Seus Desdobramentos na Sociedade
O presente livro tem como objetivo analisar a construção social dos processos de etiquetamento e estigmatização dentro do ambiente escolar, o que atualmente é denominado por especialistas como bullying (school place bullying). Utilizando perspectiva analítica das teorias de Rotulação de H. Becker e do Estigma de E. Goffman, discute-se como a escola pode ser um espaço de sociabilidades e também de acusação e rotulação, produzindo, assim, processos de afastamento e exclusão de crianças e jovens que passam pela estigmatização. Nesse sentido, esta obra analisa alguns casos com base em notícias veiculadas pela mídia e em filmes/documentários sobre situações de violências em escolas, produzidas por estigmatização e exclusão de alunos.
Marxismo e Política
Quais e quantas combinações são possíveis entre o marxismo e a ciência política? Em Marxismo e política: modos de usar, o cientista político Luis Felipe Miguel debate a relevância do marxismo para a análise da política. A obra busca introduzir e enfatizar a utilidade desse marco teórico para a produção de uma ciência política capaz de entender o mundo social e orientar a ação nele. Ao longo dos nove capítulos, o autor cruza diferentes temas da tradição marxista com o campo da ciência política, como as classes sociais, o Estado, o gênero, alienação e fetichismo e muitos outros. Em contrapartida, demonstra a importância de uma abertura do próprio marxismo ao diálog...

Global solidarities against water grabbing
Conflicts over water are human-caused events with socio-political and economic causes. From Brazil's Movimento dos Atingidos por Barragens (MAB) to environmental activists in Pittsburgh, people are coming together to fight for control of their water. This book examines how movements are communicating and organizing against water privatization and other forms of water grabbing, and explores how movements engage with and learn from each other. Water is at the heart of this book, but Global solidarities against water grabbing is as much about collective struggle and popular organization as it is about water. Based on extensive fieldwork with two movements fighting against water privatization, the book uses anticolonial and feminist research methods to show how global communications and organizing are occurring around water and how Global North movements are engaging with and learning from the Global South and vice versa.
From Coldwar Communism to the Global Emancipatory Movement
Boaventura de Sousa Santos says: 'This is an admirable memoir of an intellectual activist who has lived most intensely the progressive struggles of the last sixty years of world history, because despite being born in Europe, Peter, in the best tradition of communist internationalism, participated in struggles and movements, not only in Central and Eastern Europe, but also in Africa and most recently in Latin America. But this is much more than a memoir. It is so well documented that in this personal experience there are reflected some of the most decisive events of contemporary history. It is a living history book. But even more than this, this book is so clearly and vividly written that at ...
