Organizing Women Workers in the Informal Economy
Women as a group have often been divided by a number of intersecting inequalities: class, race, ethnicity, caste. As individuals - often isolated in reproductive or other home-based work - their weapons of resistance have tended to be restricted to the traditional weapons of the weak: hidden subversions and individualised struggles. Organizing Women Workers in the Informal Economy explores the emergence of an alternative repertoire among women working in the growing informal sectors of the global South: the weapons of organization and mobilization. This crucial book offers vibrant accounts of how women working as farm workers, sex workers, domestic workers, waste pickers, fisheries workers a...

Mulher DIREITO e MÚSICA
“Quando o indivíduo se permite vivenciar e explorar a catarse que determinada música, letra, composição etc, causa nele, tem-se uma forma de comunicação direta com o inconsciente, permitindo assim que esse reconheça partes suas que estão ocultas de sua própria consciência” (LARISSA ZUCCO) “A relação entre direito e música é profícua qualquer seja o recorte metodológi - co empregado ou o enfoque que se estabeleça na abordagem. A proposta de uma análise jurídica a partir da letra de uma canção é algo que chama a atenção, principalmente no meio jurídico em que costumeiramente se lida com aspectos dogmáticos nesse campo do saber notoriamente técnico em sua constituição. Estranhamento para alguns, encantamento para outros, seja como for, fato é que há muito de proveitoso ao se estabelecer a aproximação entre essas duas áreas distintas.” (PAULO SILAS FILHO)
White Middle-Class Men in Rio de Janeiro
In this book based on the biographical accounts of upper-middle-class white men living in wealthy parts of Rio de Janeiro, Valeria Ribeiro Corossacz analyzes specific experiences of whiteness as they are produced at the intersection of multiple categories—in particular gender, class, and sexuality. White Middle-Class Men in Rio de Janeiro: The Making of a Dominant Subject investigates what it means to be classified as a white person and a man in a society that is known for its valorization of racial mixing and yet deeply structured by racism, class, and gender inequalities. By examining instances of silence and what is left unsaid as well as precise descriptions of power relations and violent episodes, this book encourages the reader to observe the condition of dominant subjects as a keystone of the reproduction of social discrimination.
