Covid-19: crise sanitária e crise de direitos? - volume 2
"Todo el análisis técnico realizado plasma visiones y propuestas constructivas en el terreno de la Ciencia Jurídica, que confrontan las vicisitudes históricas y obstáculos que ocasionan la inefectividad de los derechos, teniendo como referencia la crisis sanitaria derivada de la diseminación del Covid-19. Si dificultades ya existían en el marco de la crisis sistémica y estructural que abala a las sociedades de América Latina, lo cierto es que la pandemia representó un escenario de extrema gravedad, especialmente para los sectores más vulnerables, que titularizan formalmente derechos constitucionalizados que aún en la práctica no conocen. Por eso, el elemento común de las exposiciones es el compromiso, precisamente, con la concretización de la democracia y los derechos fundamentales, especialmente el derecho a la salud". Pietro Alarcón

Canto a Su Amor Desaparecido
Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Spanish by Daniel Borzutzky. "I sang the song of the old concrete sheds. It was filled with hundreds of niches, one over the other. There is a country in each one; they're like boys, they're dead." In this landmark poem, written at the height of the Pinochet dictatorship, major Chilean poet Raul Zurita protests with ferocious invention the extinguishment of a generation and the brutalization of a nation. Of the role of poetry and of his own treatment by the military under this regime, Zurita has said, "You see, the only thing that told me that I wasn't crazy, that I wasn't living in a nightmare, was this file of poems, and then when they threw them into the sea, then I understood exactly what was happening." This elegy refuses to be an elegy, refuses to let the Disappeared disappear.

Decent Working Time
Including international comparative analysis alongside national case studies, this volume offers a wealth of information on the new trends which have emerged over the past decades - all of which were discussed at the recent 9th International Symposium on Working Time, Paris (2004). It looks at the increasing use of results-based employment relationships for managers and professionals, and the increasing fragmentation of time to more closely tailor staffing needs to customer requirements (e.g., short-hours, part-time work). Moreover, as operating/opening hours rapidly expand toward a 24-hour and 7-day economy, the book considers how this has resulted in a growing diversification, decentraliza...
Stick to My Roots
This is a great read for our generation as it embodies, what life was like for black kids up and down the country during the 70's. I always remember, seeing him, driving through Birmingham in his VW Cabriolet convertible. He has taken his toasting talents around the world representing his upbringing and culture, truly a pioneer for toasting about "Roots and Culture" but from a British-Jamaican aspect rather than the other way round. This book, is a must-read for anyone growing up in Britain in the inner Cities of all cultures. -- Dennis Seaton, Record Producer, Musical Youth
