L'éducation, en tant que droit, est un principe fondamental reconnu internationalement comme l'un des droits fondamentaux de l'homme, et les États se doivent de le garantir. C'est particulièrement vrai en Amérique latine en raison de l'enjeu que représente l'éducation en termes de développement économique, social et humain et de stabilisation des systèmes politiques. Cependant, certaines particularités méritent une étude particulière concernant les conditions de réalisation du droit à l'éducation. Le contenu de ce droit n'est pas toujours clair, et son exercice soulève des difficultés. Des spécialistes du droit, de la politique et des sciences de l'éducation proposent une analyse du concept de droit à l'éducation, des normes juridiques et des politiques publiques, notamment dans une démarche comparative centrée sur l'Amérique latine. L'ouvrage offre ainsi les outils interprétatifs de la portée du droit à l'éducation en tant que concept, objet et stratégie de politiques publiques.

Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
Explicitly focusing on the malaise of underdevelopment that has shaped the country since the Spanish conquest, Ramón Eduardo Ruiz offers a panoramic interpretation of Mexican history and culture from the pre-Hispanic and colonial eras through the twentieth century. Drawing on economics, psychology, literature, film, and history, he reveals how development processes have fostered glaring inequalities, uncovers the fundamental role of race and class in perpetuating poverty, and sheds new light on the contemporary Mexican reality. Throughout, Ruiz traces a legacy of dependency on outsiders, and considers the weighty role the United States has played, starting with an unjust war that cost Mexico half its territory. Based on Ruiz’s decades of research and travel in Mexico, this penetrating work helps us better understand where the country has come, why it is where it is today, and where it might go in the future.
