Derecho fundamental a la identidad cultural
Este libro da cuenta de la relevancia de las cuestiones del derecho a la identidad cultural. Su lectura es una oportunidad para refrendar los idearios críticos sobre los derechos humanos, ya que no son dogmas de fe ni tampoco incuestionables. Las autoras y los autores abordan preocupaciones éticas, cuestionan los modelos de justicia que aún perviven después del retorno a la democracia en nuestra región, que se niegan a comprender los derechos colectivos a la identidad cultural de los pueblos indígenas y naciones originarias como derechos fundamentales.
El caso Lhaka Honhat vs. Argentina y las tendencias de su interamericanización
La decisión de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos en el caso Lhaka Honhat, de cara al pasado, significa un nuevo estadio en los procesos de empoderamiento y visibilidad en los espacios internacional, regional, nacional y comparado en la protección de los pueblos indígenas. Esta sentencia ha sentado un precedente mediante el cual “se expande la interpretación de los derechos al medioambiente sano desde una perspectiva intercultural, en relación con los derechos culturales y a la propiedad colectiva de los pueblos indígenas”. Esta obra hace honor a dicha contribución, resaltando el hilo conductor desde el discurso global sobre la premisa de que los derechos, especialmente l...
Mujeres indígenas y afrodescendientes ante el discurso del derecho moderno
¿Es realmente el feminismo el movimiento social más exitoso del siglo xx? Para pensar esta pregunta, las mujeres indígenas y afrodescendientes de la región han puesto puntos sobre las íes de la cuestión, empezando por dejar claro que no existe un feminismo, porque no existe un solo mundo. De la mano de ellas, en las últimas décadas el discurso feminista ha introducido riquísimos debates acerca de la urgencia de pensar nuestra emancipación como mujeres, pero en clave decolonial, abrazando un esencialismo estratégico. Este libro está dedicado al análisis de los sentidos de los derechos de las mujeres indígenas y afrodescendientes en el debate contemporáneo. El volumen aborda las...

Who Owns Culture?
It is not uncommon for white suburban youths to perform rap music, for New York fashion designers to ransack the world's closets for inspiration, or for Euro-American authors to adopt the voice of a geisha or shaman. But who really owns these art forms? Is it the community in which they were originally generated, or the culture that has absorbed them? While claims of authenticity or quality may prompt some consumers to seek cultural products at their source, the communities of origin are generally unable to exclude copyists through legal action. Like other works of unincorporated group authorship, cultural products lack protection under our system of intellectual property law. But is this le...
Business and Human Rights
In a global economy, multinational companies often operate in jurisdictions where governments are either unable or unwilling to uphold even the basic human rights of their citizens. The expectation that companies respect human rights in their own operations and in their business relationships is now a business reality that corporations need to respond to. Business and Human Rights: From Principles to Practice is the first comprehensive and interdisciplinary textbook that addresses these issues. It examines the regulatory framework that grounds the business and human rights debate and highlights the business and legal challenges faced by companies and stakeholders in improving respect for hum...
The Elusive Promise of Indigenous Development
Around the world, indigenous peoples use international law to make claims for heritage, territory, and economic development. Karen Engle traces the history of these claims, considering the prevalence of particular legal frameworks and their costs and benefits for indigenous groups. Her vivid account highlights the dilemmas that accompany each legal strategy, as well as the persistent elusiveness of economic development for indigenous peoples. Focusing primarily on the Americas, Engle describes how cultural rights emerged over self-determination as the dominant framework for indigenous advocacy in the late twentieth century, bringing unfortunate, if unintended, consequences. Conceiving indige...
Another Cosmopolitanism
In these two important lectures, distinguished political philosopher Seyla Benhabib argues that since the UN Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, we have entered a phase of global civil society which is governed by cosmopolitan norms of universal justice -- norms which are difficult for some to accept as legitimate since they are in conflict with democratic ideals. In her first lecture, Benhabib argues that this tension can never be fully resolved, but it can be mitigated through the renegotiation of the dual commitments to human rights and sovereign self-determination. Her second lecture develops this idea in detail, with special reference to recent developments in Europe (for example, the ...
Natural Resources, Extraction and Indigenous Rights in Latin America
In 1989, the International Labor Organization stated that all indigenous peoples living in the postcolonial world were entitled to the right to prior consultation, over activities that could potentially impact their territories and traditional livelihoods. However, in many cases the economic importance of industries such as mining and oil condition the way that governments implement the right to prior consultation. This book explores extractive conflicts between indigenous populations, the government and oil and mining companies in Latin America, namely Mexico, Peru and Bolivia. Building on two years of research and drawing on the state-corporate and environmental crime literatures, this boo...
King of the Badgers
After the success of The Northern Clemency, shortlisted for the 2008 Man Booker Prize, Philip Hensher brings us another slice of contemporary life, this time the peaceful civility and spiralling paranoia of a small English town.
