It's another busy spring for Puck and his pack. His grandparents are visiting, and he's doing his best to keep them from finding out about werewolves and getting into trouble.

Social Studies Education in Latin America
This book offers a path forward, for the growing collaboration in social studies education between Global North and South educators, practitioners, and researchers. In this volume, leading critical social studies education researchers from Latin America explore the constant presence of colonialism, capitalism, patriarchy, and state violence. Chapter contributors represent a large part of the continent and offer perspectives on a wide range of topics, including recent history and memory, cultural dimensions of social studies education, and comparative studies among Latin American countries. By bringing together this critical work in one volume, the book fosters conversation across geographic regions to transcend the national contexts for which these analyses are generally produced. This collection provides insights into issues of curriculum, teaching, teacher education, and research in the region and will be of interest to readers both familiar with and new to research on social studies, history, citizenship, and geography education in Latin America.
After Dictatorship
Numerous studies concerning transitional justice exist. However, comparatively speaking, the effects actually achieved by measures for coming to terms with dictatorships have seldom been investigated. There is an even greater lack of transnational analyses. This volume contributes to closing this gap in research. To this end, it analyses processes of coming to terms with the past in seven countries with different experiences of violence and dictatorship. Experts have drawn up detailed studies on transitional justice in Albania, Argentina, Ethiopia, Chile, Rwanda, South Africa and Uruguay. Their analyses constitute the empirical material for a comparative study of the impact of measures intro...
Histories of Solitude
By combining chronological coverage, analytical breadth, and interdisciplinary approaches, these two volumes—Histories of Solitude and Histories of Perplexity—study the histories of Colombia over the last two centuries as illustrations of the histories of democracy across the Americas. The volumes bring together over 40 scholars based in Colombia, the United States, England, and Canada working in various disciplines to discuss how a country that has been consistently presented as a rarity in Latin America provides critical examples to re-examine major historical problems: republicanism and liberalism; export economies and agrarian modernization; populism and cultural politics of state fo...

The State, Literacy, and Popular Education in Chile, 1964-1990
The popular education and adult literacy movements in Chile have historically represented competing paths toward a literate society: one born and nurtured through bitter nineteenth-century labor struggles, the other a compensatory effort by the modern state to limit the political potential of literacy. Robert Austin's book explores the contest between the state and popular education in three paradigmatic Latin American regimes: that of Eduardo Frei Montalva (Christian Democrat, 1964-70), Salvador Allende (Socialist, 1970-73) and Augusto Pinochet (Dictator, 1973-90). Robert Austin's engaging narrative captures the relationship between the Chilean state, formal and non-formal literacy, and popular education, from the demise of liberal capitalism to the consolidation of neoliberalism. This remarkable investigation of the dynamic link between the historical process, literacy, and pedagogy celebrates popular education's victory in securing the inclusion, and subsequent empowerment, of women and ethnic minorities. The State, Literacy, and Popular Education in Chile, 1964-1990 will be of great interest to political scientists, cultural historians, and scholars of education.
Urbanismo alemán en Latinoamérica
Si bien la arquitectura alemana forma parte de los cascos históricos de muchas ciudades en Latinoamérica —como producto de la influencia de la colonización en el siglo XIX— no es mucho lo que se conoce respecto a sus aportes en materia de urbanismo para la planificación de ciudades que hoy son testimonio de la creatividad de influyentes arquitectos y urbanistas del viejo continente. Las ideas de Joseph Stübben, Werner Benno Lange, Werner Hegemann y Hannes Meyer, entre otros, dejaron huellas en Ciudad de México, Porto Alegre, Lima, Santiago de Chile, Osorno, Montevideo, Rosario y Mar del Plata. El urbanismo o der städtebau, entendido como la ciencia de la planificación y extensió...
Sistemas y Servicios de Salud Centrados en las Personas y sus Comunidades
El derecho a la salud es un concepto en permanente construcción, cuyo tránsito, actualmente y desde la perspectiva que ofrecen los autores de esta publicación, abandona su concepción de «derecho a prestaciones médicas» para reentenderse como el acceso —emanado del reconocimiento de la dignidad del ser humano— a obtener condiciones para una vida saludable y plena. El desafío, inmanente en ello, es lograr que los sistemas de salud estén efectivamente orientados a resolver integralmente las necesidades de las personas y sus comunidades, más aún en tiempos en que la pandemia por Covid-19 ha expuesto el desequilibrio entre las capacidades para regular los movimientos de capital y l...
Avances y perspectivas para el desarrollo territorial
A más de diez años de la creación de «Los Ríos» como nueva región, el desarrollo del territorio en esta parte del sur del país se ha visto expuesto a positivos cambios, tales como un mayor acceso a recursos y al control de la gestión. No obstante, se aprecian también estancamientos en diversas materias que demandan un constante seguimiento y mejoras a la planificación territorial. En la búsqueda de un desarrollo sustentable que permita una alianza virtuosa entre el sector público, privado y la ciudadanía —en armonía con los recursos naturales y el cuidado del medioambiente—, la Universidad Austral de Chile ha jugado un rol preponderante al favorecer la generación de biene...
