Mayaya Rising
Who are the Black heroines of Latin America and the Caribbean? Where do we turn for models of transcendence among women of African ancestry in the region? In answer to the historical dearth of such exemplars, Mayaya Rising explores and celebrates the work of writers who intentionally center powerful female cultural archetypes. In this inventive analysis, Duke proposes three case studies and a corresponding womanist methodology through which to study and rediscover these figures. The musical Cuban-Dominican sisters and former slaves Teodora and Micaela Ginés inspired Aida Cartagena Portalatin’s epic poem Yania tierra; the Nicaraguan matriarch of the May Pole, “Miss Lizzie,” figures prominently in four anthologies from the country’s Bluefields region; and the iconic palenqueras of Cartagena, Colombia are magnified in the work of poets María Teresa Ramírez Neiva and Mirian Díaz Pérez. In elevating these figures and foregrounding these works, Duke restores and repairs the scholarly record.
La afrocolombianidad como respuesta al racismo
La afrocolombianidad como respuesta al racismo es el volumen trece de la Biblioteca Afrocolombiana de las Ciencias Sociales. Es un libro histórico y etnoeducativo de suma vigencia, dados los profundos impactos que en la actualidad ha tenido la lucha contra el racismo en Colombia (que deja como uno de los principales resultados el ascenso de figuras políticas como Francia Márquez). En este contexto, la investigación del etnoeducador Francisco Adelmo Asprilla aporta a desvelar los circuitos por donde discurre el racismo estructuralmente inscrito en las instituciones políticas y en la sociedad colombiana. Este proyecto editorial de las ciencias sociales afrocolombianas no será en vano si ...

In-surgiendo ciudadanía: Proceso de Comunidades Negras –PCN– (1990-2017) es el volumen catorce de la Biblioteca Afrocolombiana de las Ciencias Sociales. Este trabajo es un llamado a aprender de la experiencia histórica de los movimientos sociales en otros países afros, traspasando las debilidades y superando las diferencias ideológicas para conformar un movimiento político social que dé cuenta de nuestra responsabilidad moral y jurídica ante la actual coyuntura política del proceso de paz y el posacuerdo. El trabajo de Amanda es fundamental, dado que es un testimonio del proceso organizativo del movimiento de comunidades afrocolombianas, contado desde una voz afrofeminista y mili...
King of the Badgers
After the success of The Northern Clemency, shortlisted for the 2008 Man Booker Prize, Philip Hensher brings us another slice of contemporary life, this time the peaceful civility and spiralling paranoia of a small English town.
Social Construction of the Past
"Social Construction of the Past examines labour, race and gender and its relationship to power and class. It includes chapters on a broad range of topics, from the role of intellectuals in restructuring a non-apartheid South Africa, to Haitian working-class women using sexuality to resist domination.

The Anthropology of Power
An edited collection which examines the theoretical issues surrounding power, and particularly empowerment, which uses ethnographic analysis as its basis. It takes material from the Middle East, Canada, Columbia, Australasia and various parts of Europe and Africa. It looks particularly at the extent to which traditionally disempowered groups gain influence in postcolonial or multicultural settings, and at how power relates to economic development, gender and environmentalism.
