Issues of race and ethnicity in Latin America continue to gain a growing amount of academic attention. While themes of ethnic identities, indigeneity, and race relations are commonly examined in our respective disciplines, it is less common to bring together essays from scholars from such a broad variety of disciplines. The papers collected in this volume draw on a wide range of studies from across Latin America, including the examination of ethnohistory, the environment, and culture. They convey a large diversity of perspectives, disciplines, and issues that reflect the richness and complexities of the social processes that encompass the Americas. Taken as a whole, this broad range of studies on ethnohistory, environmental and legal issues, education, and culture advances our understandings of race and ethnicity in Latin America. In the process, these studies incorporate related issues of how historical and political developments in Latin America have, and continue to be, experienced differently based on varying gendered and class perspectives. These studies examine how those speaking from the margins continue to shape and reshape what we know as Latin America.

In response to the growing international interest in inclusive education, this book examines its practices and issues in the Chinese context through case studies of two regular primary schools in mainland China where children with special needs are admitted. The main concerns of this book not only involve the inclusion of children with disabilities, but also those with special educational needs but without physical and sensory difficulties, such as children from socially and economically disadvantaged groups, children from diverse cultural and linguistic groups, and children alienated in classrooms. This book discusses these issues and challenges against the background of the existing educational system and policy, and identifies the barriers to their inclusion in current school education, such as lack of in-service training for teachers, limited involvement of local communities, big class size, and corporal punishment, etc. Academics and postgraduate students in the field of inclusive education, social education, and Chinese studies will find this book useful, as well as policy makers, school teachers, and administrators.

El lector tiene entre las manos una aportación relevante a la reconstrucción exhaustiva del papel de la militancia comunista en la constitución del movimiento estudiantil centrada en los protagonistas que permitieron desplegar la oposición política a través de la movilización social y la recuperación de la sociedad civil. En las décadas de los 60 y 70, los comunistas arraigaron a través del activismo de sus miembros, formando parte de las redes más dinámicas de la sociedad. Las razones de este arraigo no se deben buscar en la ideología, sino en la relación que sus militantes fueron capaces de establecer con las personas y los colectivos con mayor disponibilidad para la movilización por reivindicaciones sociales o directamente contra la dictadura. Se convirtieron en rostros de la multitud”. (Carme Molinero, catedrática de Historia Contemporánea de la Universidad de Barcelona).
El senyor Lotari, escoliasta de capçalera del gran novel·lista desaparegut Gabriel Caballero, va morir quan estava a punt d'endreçar la biografia de l'escriptor entre 1962 i 1977. Una teranyina trenada per centenars de veus que despullen i escabetxen sense pietat tant l'home concret com totes les cares i caretes de l'antifranquisme dels anys seixanta i setanta. El món cultural i intel·lectual, la disputa entre grups (i egos) de l'esquerra i el catalanisme, les infidelitats als ideals i a les persones, la Gauche Divine, les Jornades Llibertàries... I al mig, tastant totes les olletes sense ficar-se fins a la cintura en cap fangar, un dels autors més importants de les últimes dècades. És més: un geni. Perquè el Gabriel era un geni, ¿oi, senyor Lotari? La continuació de l'aclamada trilogia L'atzar i les ombres s'ha fet esperar divuit anys, perquè calia pouar molt endins.
Dictadura y Transición. La España lampedusiana agrupa en dos volúmenes los periodos cruciales de la historia del Estado español: la dictadura franquista y la monarquía parlamentaria nacida del proceso conocido como la Transición, es decir, desde 1939 hasta los albores el siglo XXI. Sus contenidos historiográficos rebasan el mero nivel de manual, que también lo es, para inscribirse en una perspectiva interpretativa crítica. El lector hallará en esta obra elementos para construirse un criterio propio, junto a datos inéditos en otros trabajos que abordan la misma temática (elecciones habidas desde 1977 y nóminas de los Gobiernos sucedidos).
