O livro nos mostra, com singular propriedade, que o fenômeno do assédio exige um olhar diferenciado não apenas do legislador, mas da história. É necessário compreender que durante séculos nossa cultura, tanto popular como acadêmica, tem legitimado esse tipo de violência. A reunião de mulheres com o fim de expor num livro as experiências de assédio vivenciadas projeta vozes de tantas outras que ainda se encontram submersas em grupos que legitimam a prática como algo tido como simples socialização. Os relatos nos fazem refletir que os avanços obtidos não são fornecidos, óbvios e evidentes em si mesmos. Ao contrário, nossas lutas imprescindíveis para que possamos nos situar num ambiente predominado por homens, como o sistema de justiça, foram durante anos rechaçadas como "antinatural" pela maior parte da sociedade – inclusive por mulheres.
An exploration of how states address the often conflicting challenges of development, order, and inclusion.
The world development institutions commonly present 'urban governance' as an antidote to the so-called 'urbanisation of poverty' and 'parasitic urbanism' in Africa. Governance for Pro-Poor Urban Development is a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the meaning, nature, and effects of 'urban governance' in theory and in practice, with a focus on Ghana, a country widely regarded as an island of good governance in the sub region. The book illustrates how diverse groups experience urban governance differently and contextualizes how this experience has worsened social differentiation in cities. This book will be of great interest to students, teachers, and researchers in development studies, and highly relevant to anyone with an interest in urban studies, geography, political economy, sociology, and African studies.
In 1550 the German adventurer Hans Staden was serving as a gunner in a Portuguese fort on the Brazilian coast. While out hunting, he was captured by the Tupinambá, an indigenous people who had a reputation for engaging in ritual cannibalism and who, as allies of the French, were hostile to the Portuguese. Staden’s True History, first published in Germany in 1557, tells the story of his nine months among the Tupi Indians. It is a dramatic first-person account of his capture, captivity, and eventual escape. Staden’s narrative is a foundational text in the history and European “discovery” of Brazil, the earliest European account of the Tupi Indians, and a touchstone in the debates on c...
A number of arguments are made by an international group of authors in this though provoking book about an understudied and socially important context. A future in which financial wealth transfers across the North-South divide from richer to poorer countries is far from sufficient for the relief of poverty and the pursuit of sustainability. Caution must be taken when growth is achieved through the liquidation of the natural wealth of poorer nations, in order to maintain a global economic status quo. Neither poverty reduction nor sustainability will ultimately be achieved. The financial collapse and social upheaval that might result will make the most recent economic downturn look trivial by ...
"Desde a promulgação da Constituição Federal (1988), o Brasil passa por um importante processo de amadurecimento de suas instituições democráticas. Dentre elas, o Ministério Público (MP) se destaca na defesa do projeto de país delineado na Constituição Federal (1988) e na busca do fortalecimento da democracia participativa, do controle social e de conselhos de políticas públicas e de direitos. Como a Justiça que tarda não é justa, o MP tem papel preponderante na defesa de direitos coletivos, na condução de conflitos coletivos que vêm sendo transferidos para o âmbito judicial, bem como tem sido provocado por um duplo movimento de judicialização/politização da sua aç...
