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...
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...

En cuanto este libro asume un número de desafíos escasamente abordados conjuntamente, la lectura de sus capítulos, muy bien elegidos y articulados en una trama densa y con visión didáctica, enriquece los fundamentos de las acciones de salud mental en la comunidad, así como su aplicación. Para América Latina, esta publicación es particularmente bienvenida. Desde que la región adoptara la Declaración de Caracas (1990) y seguidamente las convenciones mundiales y americanas, las necesidades de capacitación se han multiplicado. Los lectores quedamos endeudados con los autores.
In the 1980s, Brazil emerged from two decades of military dictatorship and embarked on an experiment in full democracy for the first time in the nation's history Since then, Brazilians have sought to live up to the ideals of this experiment while negotiating dramatic economic and cultural transformations. In The Throes of Democracy Bryan McCann gives a panoramic view of this process, exploring the relationships between the rise of the political left, the escalation of urban violence, the agribusiness boom and the spread of pentecostal evangelization. Brazil remains a land marked by deep inequality, but in the last two decades the structure of that inequality has changed substantially. This is a country which remains an endlessly vital source of popular culture, now bubbling forth from different corners of the map. In explaining these transformations, this book provides a fascinating introduction to one of the 21st century's most significant countries.
No contexto em que a sensação de urgência é cada vez mais presente, a autora analisa, sob nuances pragmáticas e dogmáticas, as relevantes implicações da urgência enquanto fenômeno no âmbito da Tutela provisória do Código de Processo Civil. A obra, resultante de dissertação de mestrado com mesmo título, desenvolve-se em torno da delimitação da urgência, bem como da investigação do "fato urgente" que justifica o emprego de técnica diferenciada. Sem se afastar do cenário da pós-modernidade e suas relações líquidas e instantâneas que favorecem o surgimento de "novas urgências", o tema é abordado a partir do diálogo com diversas áreas do conhecimento. Uma vez estab...
