O livro Permanência e êxito nos cursos técnicos: desafios e conquistas lança um novo olhar crítico sobre os elementos que têm contribuído para a permanência e para o êxito estudantil nos cursos técnicos na educação do Brasil, direcionado pelo viés da diversidade etnicorracial cujos atos de racismo histórico, praticados pela classe dominante, têm relegado os negros e indígenas à exclusão social. É um livro destinado a educadores de todos os níveis e modalidades, bem como a pesquisadores das questões etnicorraciais no Brasil, já que apresenta possibilidades de formação continuada em serviço para servidores em educação. É, ainda, um livro inédito porque foca todo o ...
Este livro parte do princípio de que a educação leva-nos a um espaço contínuo de tensão, negociação e transformação de culturas que disputam espaços de poder. Uma práxis centrada na pedagogia crítica resulta em uma educação libertadora no sentido de possibilitar às(aos) professoras(es) e às(aos) estudantes uma educação que critique a sociedade, que valorize a diferença quando precisa ser reconhecida para a construção e vivência da equidade social, que só é efetivada na formação de subjetividades individuais emancipatórias. Discutir, pensar e fazer a educação emancipatória não admite pensar a aprendizagem como responsabilidade e resultado individualizado. Ao co...

Auto/Biography in the Americas: Relational Lives brings together scholars from disparate geographic regions, cultural perspectives, linguistic frameworks, and disciplinary backgrounds to explore what connects narrated lives in the Americas. By interweaving scholarship on Afro-diasporic subjectivities, gendered narratives, lives in translation, celebrity auto/biographies, and pedagogical approaches to teaching auto/biographical narratives, this volume argues that connections between the contrasting locations of the Americas may be found in a shared history of diasporic movement that causes a heightened awareness of the need to belong and to thereby define the self in relation to others.

1891. Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, Swiss educational reformer, whose theories laid the foundation of modern elementary education. His masterpiece, Leonard and Gertrude, is an account of the gradual reformation, first of a household, and then of a whole village, by the efforts of a good and devoted woman.
The world's deserts are sufficiently large that, in theory, covering a fraction of their landmass with PV systems could generate many times the current primary global energy supply. In three parts, this study details the background and concept of VLS-PV, maps out a development path towards the realization of VLS-PV systems and provides firm recommendations to achieve long-term targets. This represents the first study to provide a concrete set of answers to the questions that must be addressed in order to secure and exploit the potential for VLS-PV technology and its global benefits.
Auto/biographical narratives of the Americas are marked by the underlying themes of movement and belonging. This collection proposes that the impact of the historic or contemporary movement of peoples to, in, and from the Americas—whether chosen or forced—motivates the ways in which identities are constructed in this contested space. Such movement results in a cyclical quest to belong, and to understand belonging, that reverberates through narratives of the Americas. The volume brings together essays written from diverse national, cultural, linguistic, and disciplinary perspectives to trace these transnational motifs in life writing across the Americas. Drawing on international scholars ...
Albert Memmi's controversial statements about racism and his call to each of us to devote ourselves to its eradication--futile though this effort will be--are straightforward and lucid, yet also powerful and universal. In this remarkable meditation on a subject at the troubled center of contemporary life, Memmi investigates racism as social pathology--a cultural disease that prevails because it allows one segment of society to empower itself at the expense of another. By turns historical, sociological, and autobiographical, Racism moves beyond individual prejudice to engage the broader questions of collective behavior and social responsibility. Book jacket.
Learning a foreign language is just as beautiful as it is challenging. Learning a language is different from learning other disciplines, such as mathematics, geography, or poetry writing. You cannot simply sit down and memorize hundreds of pages and formulas and then stand up and speak the language fluently and confidently. It takes time, patience, resourcefulness, creativity, and hard work. In the next 7 days, this book will guide you through a very special and effective process in language learning.
