Unchaining Nations, Freeing People: The development challenges of the contemporary world is composed of seven chapters with a common theme: the analysis of vicious cycles that hampers the fully development of nations. Each one of the articles approaches a topic of the current international political agenda, including: civil conflicts in Sub-Saharan Africa and the case of the Central African Republic; religious sectarianism and violence in Syria; the corruption-drug trafficking nexus; press freedom; middle-income countries’ challenges on development; the relation between gender and health access; and the legal and social issues between state secularism and religious freedom.
Long-lasting peaces: overcoming the war-peace hiatus for a sustainable future is composed by seven chapters distributed in 3 parts destined to provoke reflections about a common theme: the existent obstacles and plausible solutions to achieve sustainable peaces. Each one of the articles discusses, in a critical perspective, important issues of the international agenda. Among the matters it can be found: the participation of belligerent actors as a means to an effective peace accord, the contradiction between structural violence and formal peace in South America, the promotion of women equity in peace processes, ethnic tensions and the achievement of peace through justice, new perspectives on food security and its impacts on refugees and IDPs, environmental commitments to lessen climate change, and mechanisms for socioeconomic human development.
As relações de trabalho no Brasil e no mundo vêm passando por grandes e profundas transformações sociais e econômicas. A base tecnológica do modelo tradicional de produção capitalista, forjada no século XX, está em franco processo de mutação. É a velha roda da história novamente em ação, mas, agora, agindo com uma velocidade nunca antes vista na história da humanidade. Nesse contexto, a pandemia da Covid-19 potencializou e revelou ainda mais capacidade de resiliência e de adaptação do ser humano e do Direito a esse cenário desafiador. O teletrabalho, a subordinação algorítmica, a uberização (e a youtuberização) das relações de trabalho, a gig economy, o crowdwo...

Os textos que compõem o livro “20 anos da Lei 10.639/2003: diálogos e desafios na educação brasileira” permitem a reflexão sobre diversos desafios, possibilidades e caminhos para a vivência de uma educação antirracista no Brasil. Entre contradições e esperanças, os textos apontam o caminho para continuar lutando por uma escola comprometida com o combate à violência racial em todas as suas expressões. O racismo se reproduz nas estruturas e está presente institucionalmente dentro do espaço escolar de forma silenciosa, e se renova a cada momento. Logo, os textos desta obra que discute a presença da Lei 10.639/2003 dentro do âmbito escolar são de extrema relevância para que possamos desconstruir toda essa ideologia eurocêntrica que permanece arraigada nas instituições de ensino, assim como nos demais Campos (BOURDIEU, 2004) da vida social. É a partir dos diferentes contextos proposto pelos capítulos, que intencionamos fazer o(a) leitor(a) refletir sobre os desafios e as possibilidades que a Educação antirracista enfrenta dentro dos espaços de formação dos sujeitos na sociedade brasileira, a partir da homologação da Lei 10.639/2003.
