Peru in the 21st Century
"This book intends to provide the reader with a number of perspectives about the complex political landscape of Peru. Further, its main objective is to shed light on some of the topics that often get ignored when trying to assess the country's identity and its positioning as a player in the Latin American region, and the world. Its final intention is to spark informed conversations where there are none, and enrich the ongoing ones"--
From Black Invisibility to Afroperuvian Citizenship
The World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and related intolerance celebrated in the city of Durban in 2001 was not the first international forum addressing the topic of racism in different countries of the world. However, it marked a pivotal before and after in the arena of racial politics in some countries of Latin America. With a special focus on indigenous communities and peoples of African descent, this international platform brought together governments, civil society organizations, and stakeholders alike urging them to recognize the pervasiveness of racism and racial discrimination in their countries. In the specific case of Peru, the Conference was followed by the creation of a number of national institutions for the advancement of Afrodescendants and other ethnic minorities, and the integration of the existing legislation on racism and discrimination. This work seeks to analyze the political shift experienced by Afrodescendants in Peru that took them from an unrecognized demographic group to a racial minority protected by the law and with an affirmed political subjectivity.
The New Global Politics
Over the past decade, there has been an unprecedented mobilization of street protests worldwide, from the demonstrations that helped bring progressive governments to power in Latin America, to the Arab Spring, to Occupy movements in the United States and Europe, to democracy protests in China. This edited volume investigates the current status, nature and dynamics of the new politics that characterizes social movements from around the world that are part of this revolutionary wave. Spanning case studies from Latin America, North and South Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and North America, this volume examines the varied manifestations of the current cycle of protest, which emerged fro...
Routledge Handbook of Afro-Latin American Studies
This Handbook provides a comprehensive roadmap to the burgeoning area of Afro-Latin American Studies. Afro-Latins as a civilization developed during the period of slavery, obtaining cultural contributions from Indigenous and European worlds, while today they are enriched by new social configurations derived from contemporary migrations from Africa. The essays collected in this volume speak to scientific production that has been promoted in the region from the humanities and social sciences with the aim of understanding the phenomenon of the African diaspora as a specific civilizing element. With contributions from world-leading figures in their fields overseen by an eminent international editorial board, this Handbook features original, authoritative articles organized in four coherent parts: • Disciplinary Studies; • Problem Focused Fields; • Regional and Country Approaches; • Pioneers of Afro-Latin American Studies. The Routledge Handbook of Afro-Latin American Studies will not only serve as the major reference text in the area of Afro-Latin American Studies but will also provide the agenda for future new research.

Reflexiones sobre el Perú: más allá del Bicentenario
Pensar el Perú es una tarea compleja. Una obligación que debería ser corriente para nuestras autoridades y que, de la misma manera, debería hacer parte del ejercicio cotidiano de nuestra ciudadanía. Este libro pretende proveer al lector con herramientas para emprender esta tarea desde una aproximación intencionalmente amplia, incluyente y respetuosa de la humanidad de todos y todas. Así, ofrece una variedad de perspectivas sobre nuestro complejo escenario económico, político y social, resaltando algunos temas comúnmente ignorados en el análisis político. Nuestro objetivo final es que Reflexiones sobre el Perú sea no solo una invitación a repensar nuestra realidad político-social y nuestro rol -personal y colectivo- en el desarrollo del Perú, sino también un aporte significativo a las viejas conversaciones sobre el país y una oportunidad para el establecimiento de nuevos diálogos sobre el mismo.
The Influence of Non-Judicial Actors in the Interpretative Process of the Constitution - Two Experiences
Making a comparison between the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Peru might seem an unfair task at first because the regulative nature of both Constitutions makes their differences, fundamental. The Peruvian Constitution regulates a State with a unitary government while the United States Constitution regulates a series of independent States with their own independent laws and Constitutions. Constitutional interpretation in the American case, then, is done at two different levels: On the one hand, the Constitution that rules the Union, the US Constitution and, on the other hand, the sovereign Constitutions of each State. In the evaluation of both interpretative system...
