Repertório bibliográfico sobre a condição do negro no Brasil
Pesquisadores, estudiosos e cidadãos interessados na situação do negro no Brasil muitas vezes têm dificuldade de encontrar fontes de pesquisa confiáveis. Obter informações embasadas cientificamente, avaliar a veracidade, checar as fontes e ter um olhar crítico sobre o conteúdo encontrado não é tarefa fácil. Pensando em auxiliar o trabalho de quem precisa encontrar e filtrar referências entre tantas disponíveis, a Câmara dos Deputados, por iniciativa do Programa Pró-Equidade de Gênero e Raça e da Biblioteca da Câmara dos Deputados, organizou esse guia de fontes de pesquisa sobre a temática racial no país. O livro reúne uma bibliografia abrangente e diversificada sobre a condição do negro, facilitando o acesso a artigos que informam, debatem, analisam, refletem e denunciam a questão racial ao longo da história do Brasil até os dias atuais. Com esta publicação, a Câmara dos Deputados reafirma o seu compromisso com a promoção da igualdade racial no país.
A Resistência da Juventude Universitária Católica ao projeto de Ditadura
O século XX foi marcado por eventos significativos no continente latino-americano. Durante esse período, foi de extrema importância o papel realizado pelas esquerdas católicas diante do avanço dos regimes ditatoriais, em especial no Brasil. Através da aproximação com a juventude, constrói-se uma frente de resistência que não se restringe aos muros das universidades, mas abraça as demandas e desafios que surgem com o passar do tempo. Isso deve-se à formação dessa juventude com os movimentos religiosos, inspirados pela Teologia da Libertação que adota o marxismo como base. Essa Teologia redireciona sua hermenêutica do foco europeu para a realidade do povo latino-americano. Du...
Philosophy in a Time of Terror
The idea for Philosophy in a Time of Terror was born hours after the attacks on 9/11 and was realized just weeks later when Giovanna Borradori sat down with Jürgen Habermas and Jacques Derrida in New York City, in separate interviews, to evaluate the significance of the most destructive terrorist act ever perpetrated. This book marks an unprecedented encounter between two of the most influential thinkers of our age as here, for the first time, Habermas and Derrida overcome their mutual antagonism and agree to appear side by side. As the two philosophers disassemble and reassemble what we think we know about terrorism, they break from the familiar social and political rhetoric increasingly polarized between good and evil. In this process, we watch two of the greatest intellects of the century at work.
Introduction to Reading the Pentateuch
When Jean Louis Ska's Introduzione alla lettura del Pentateuco was first published in Italy, it was quickly hailed as the most attractive and usable introduction to the Pentateuch to appear in modern times. Because of its strengths, it was soon translated into French. The English translation published by Eisenbrauns has been completely reviewed and updated (including the bibliography) by Ska. Among the book's many strengths are its close attention to the ways in which modern cultural history has affected Pentateuchal interpretation, attention to providing the kinds of examples that are helpful to students, presentation of a good balance between the history of interpretation and the data of the text, and the clarity of Ska's writing. For both students and scholars, many consider this book the best contemporary introduction to the Pentateuch.

The End of Progress
While post- and decolonial theorists have thoroughly debunked the idea of historical progress as a Eurocentric, imperialist, and neocolonialist fallacy, many of the most prominent contemporary thinkers associated with the Frankfurt School—Jürgen Habermas, Axel Honneth, and Rainer Forst—have defended ideas of progress, development, and modernity and have even made such ideas central to their normative claims. Can the Frankfurt School's goal of radical social change survive this critique? And what would a decolonized critical theory look like? Amy Allen fractures critical theory from within by dispensing with its progressive reading of history while retaining its notion of progress as a political imperative, so eloquently defended by Adorno. Critical theory, according to Allen, is the best resource we have for achieving emancipatory social goals. In reimagining a decolonized critical theory after the end of progress, she rescues it from oblivion and gives it a future.

Urban Biodiversity and Design
With the continual growth of the world's urban population, biodiversity in towns and cities will play a critical role in global biodiversity. This is the first book to provide an overview of international developments in urban biodiversity and sustainable design. It brings together the views, experiences and expertise of leading scientists and designers from the industrialised and pre-industrialised countries from around the world. The contributors explore the biological, cultural and social values of urban biodiversity, including methods for assessing and evaluating urban biodiversity, social and educational issues, and practical measures for restoring and maintaining biodiversity in urban areas. Contributions come from presenters at an international scientific conference held in Erfurt, Germany 2008 during the 9th Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biodiversity. This is also Part of our Conservation Science and Practice book series (with Zoological Society of London).
