This book brings together a selection of theoretical reflections, empirical researches and professional experiences to showcase the increasing production of psychological studies in rural contexts developed in Latin America in recent years. Psychology’s tradition of science and eminently urban profession has produced a void of reflections and approaches on important actors of the societies that constitute their existence in rural contexts and in relation – whether of integration, conflicts and contradictions – with urban agents. But a new generation of psychologists are turning their attention to rural contexts, especially in Latin America. This volume aims to present a selection of th...
This book goes beyond the traditional approaches to drug use and discusses the issue from a societal perspective, integrating contributions from different disciplines such as psychology, public health, anthropology, law, public policies and sociology to address specifically the social aspects of the phenomenon. Given its complexity, drug use demands a multidisciplinary approach from many different perspectives, but despite the vast literature about the topic, the majority of the books are restricted either to a purely medical perspective (focused mainly on treatment techniques) or to a criminological perspective (focused mainly on drug trafficking and organized crime). The social approach ad...
This book presents a multidimensional, psychosocial and critical understanding of poverty by bringing together studies carried out with groups in different contexts and situations of deprivation in Brazil, Mexico, Paraguay, Nicaragua and Spain. The book is divided in two parts. The first part presents studies that unveil the psychosocial implications of poverty by revealing the processes of domination based on the stigmatization and criminalization of poor people, which contribute to maintain realities of social inequality. The second part presents studies focused on strategies to fight poverty and forms of resistance developed by individuals who are in situations of marginalization. The stu...
Relying on the concept of a shared history, this book argues that we can speak of a shared heritage that is common in terms of the basic grammar of heritage and articulated histories, but divided alongside the basic difference between colonizers and colonized. This problematic is also evident in contemporary uses of the past. The last decades were crucial to the emergence of new debates: subcultures, new identities, hidden voices and multicultural discourse as a kind of new hegemonic platform also involving concepts of heritage and/or memory. Thereby we can observe a proliferation of heritage agents, especially beyond the scope of the nation state. This volume gets beyond a container vision ...

A problemática do presente livro sobre a genealogia do campo partidário republicano português, entre 1910 e 1926, é a relação entre partidos e identidade política, tecida numa visão da história política, com a finalidade de revelar processos de formação, filiações ideológicas, programas políticos, mediações políticas, dirigentes e tipos de organização. Pretende-se dar um contributo para a construção deste campo historiográfico, que está numa fase inicial de análise particularizada e de síntese geral. Além das rivalidades de chefia e de carácter, ou de taticismo político, os diversos partidos e grupos políticos republicanos podem filiar-se ideologicamente em dois campos políticos, que comunicaram entre si, configurando, no entanto, uma distinção de identidade política: o demoliberalismo unitarista e o radicalismo federalista.

Organizado por Daniela Bursztyn, Mariana Oliveira e Malu Louvain, a obra conta com relatos de mulheres que se dedicam ao cuidado. "A participação ativa de mulheres nos espaços de troca de experiências e suporte mútuo, de educação continuada e de geração de trabalho e renda vem se revelando estratégica para a produção da saúde, de redes solidárias e políticas públicas de cuidado. Daí a importância de disseminar a experiência de mulheres cuidadoras e suas narrativas do cuidado, pois não há como compreender suas dificuldades e necessidades sem antes escutá-las e lê-las." – Daniela Bursztyn
