On Tropical Grounds
On Tropical Grounds develops a new approach to the avant-garde and Surrealism in Caribbean and Atlantic studies. The book examines how islands and their tropical associations figure in the cultural and political imaginaries of the Caribbean and the Atlantic, and identifies genealogies of local responses to continental fantasies of exotic insularity. Examining written and visual works that reflect on the Hispanic and Francophone Caribbean and the Canary Islands, as well as critical debates around discourses of insularity in island and metropolitan spaces, this book considers notions of ethnic purity, originality, imitation, appropriation, cosmopolitanism, and self-exoticism to challenge the i...
Teaching Haiti
Approaching Haiti’s history and culture from a multidisciplinary perspective This volume is the first to focus on teaching about Haiti’s complex history and culture from a multidisciplinary perspective. Making broad connections between Haiti and the rest of the Caribbean, contributors provide pedagogical guidance on how to approach the country from different lenses in course curricula. They offer practical suggestions, theories on a wide variety of texts, examples of syllabi, and classroom experiences. Teaching Haiti dispels stereotypes associating Haiti with disaster, poverty, and negative ideas of Vodou, going beyond the simplistic neocolonial, imperialist, and racist descriptions ofte...

Haiti
"The updated edition of this perceptive study could hardly appear at a more auspicious moment, as the latest phase of the tragedy of Haiti is unfolding. It brilliantly illuminates the rich tapestry of Haitian culture and reveals the remarkable resilience of the Haitian people, subjected to centuries of rapacity and violence and brutally punished for revealing the limited definition of freedom adopted by the French and American revolutions, in the author's accurate words. As he relates, they have continued to teach such lessons to this day, frightening the rich and powerful in their own tortured land and at the centers of global rule. It is our great loss if we choose not to understand, and there is no better starting point than this learned and penetrating inquiry." — Noam Chomsky, Institute Professor Emeritus, Department of Linguistics and Philosophy, MIT

Les femmes autochtones dans l'espace public mexicain
Cet essai considère l’espace public mexicain en tant que construction sociale hiérarchisée, révélatrice des rapports de pouvoir et des orientations idéologiques qui se manifestent depuis que les femmes autochtones, organisées collectivement, y jouent un rôle spécifique, tant économique que politique. L’analyse des dispositifs de développement rural, au sein de l’espace économique, met en évidence les phénomènes d’altérisation mais aussi de constitution du sujet femme autochtone, à partir des rapports de pouvoir qu’elles subissent et sur lesquels elles se donnent la possibilité d’agir. L’espace politique féminin autochtone, quant à lui, est un espace pluriel ...

Franchir le miroir patriarcal
"Fruit de la réflexion d'une vingtaine de théologiennes et de théologiens québécois, cet ouvrage invite à franchir le sacro-saint miroir patriarcal et à tenir compte du genre féminin dans la réflexion théologique. « Le concept de genre, écrit Denise Couture, signifie que les savoirs sont situés, que la position de sexe/genre, femme ou homme, importe pour l’énonciation. Il met en question le savoir universel. La première chose que l’approche du genre, l’approche féministe, ou celle des masculinités, nous a fait désapprendre, est, précisément, l’idée d’une position et d’un savoir neutres. Dans le domaine du discours universitaire, voilà une révolution.» L’enjeu n’est pas que théorique, il est éminemment pratique. Il s’agit, comme le note Pierrette Daviau, « de nous éduquer mutuellement sur la différence de l’autre et sur nos interrelation"--Page 4 de la couverture
