Movimientos sociales, movimientos armados y procesos de paz en Centroamérica y el Caribe
Este libro es producto de un rico y fructuoso debate adelantado en diversos encuentros realizados entre 2016 y 2019 por los integrantes del grupo de trabajo "Movimientos sociales, armados y procesos de paz" del Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales (CLACSO). Las deliberaciones tuvieron como eje un proyecto de investigación del grupo de trabajo: reflexionar sobre los procesos que marcaron el devenir social y político en Centroamérica y el Caribe, dos regiones candentes del continente. Desde hace varias décadas, estas regiones se convirtieron en un interesante laboratorio de estudio para una mejor comprensión de la naturaleza de las desigualdades sociales y las limitaciones de la d...
La pospandemia en un contexto de desarrollo solidario
La pospandemia y los efectos de la pandemia aún presentes han motivado múltiples discusiones, dejando en claro que no se quiere volver a una normalidad cuyos problemas estructurales no han sido solucionados por la economía de mercado a lo largo de varias décadas, sino que, por el contrario, se han agudizado y visibilizado con la propagación de la covid-19. Con el propósito de superar las numerosas consecuencias en sus diversas dimensiones, se impulsan cambios en el modelo económico vigente, de tal modo que permita rebasar sus fallos y reorientar el papel del Estado hacia uno más activo en lo económico, social y ambiental, en donde se otorgue un papel preponderante a las necesidades ...
Organized Violence
"Official stories from media centers in New York and Mexico City say that most violence in Latin America is a product of the drug trade. Organized Violence exposes how that narrative serves corporate and state interests and de-politicizes situations that have more to do with coal, oil, or rare wood extraction than with cocaine. Global capital and violence reinforce conditions that fortify the current economic order, and whether it be the military, police, or death squads that pull the trigger, economic expansion benefits from the violent elimination of the opposition, who are most often dispossessed Indigenous people."--
Disposable Women and Other Myths of Global Capitalism
Everyday, around the world, women who work in the Third World factories of global firms face the idea that they are disposable. Melissa W. Wright explains how this notion proliferates, both within and beyond factory walls, through the telling of a simple story: the myth of the disposable Third World woman. This myth explains how young women workers around the world eventually turn into living forms of waste. Disposable Women and Other Myths of Global Capitalism follows this myth inside the global factories and surrounding cities in northern Mexico and in southern China, illustrating the crucial role the tale plays in maintaining not just the constant flow of global capital, but the present regime of transnational capitalism. The author also investigates how women challenge the story and its meaning for workers in global firms. These innovative responses illustrate how a politics for confronting global capitalism must include the many creative ways that working people resist its dehumanizing effects.
Into the European Mirror
Probes the perils of nationalism based on single identity.
Violence, Coercion, and State-Making in Twentieth-Century Mexico
Mexico is currently undergoing a crisis of violence and insecurity that poses serious threats to democratic transition and rule of law. This is the first book to put these developments in the context of post-revolutionary state-making in Mexico and to show that violence in Mexico is not the result of state failure, but of state-making. While most accounts of politics and the state in recent decades have emphasized processes of transition, institutional conflict resolution, and neo-liberal reform, this volume lays out the increasingly important role of violence and coercion by a range of state and non-state armed actors. Moreover, by going beyond the immediate concerns of contemporary Mexico,...
Violent Democracies in Latin America
Despite recent political movements to establish democratic rule in Latin American countries, much of the region still suffers from pervasive violence. From vigilantism, to human rights violations, to police corruption, violence persists. It is perpetrated by state-sanctioned armies, guerillas, gangs, drug traffickers, and local community groups seeking self-protection. The everyday presence of violence contrasts starkly with governmental efforts to extend civil, political, and legal rights to all citizens, and it is invoked as evidence of the failure of Latin American countries to achieve true democracy. The contributors to this collection take the more nuanced view that violence is not a so...
Global Transformations
Through an examination of such disciplinary keywords, and their silences, as the West, modernity, globalization, the state, culture, and the field, this book aims to explore the future of anthropology in the Twenty-first-century, by examining its past, its origins, and its conditions of possibility alongside the history of the North Atlantic world and the production of the West. In this significant book, Trouillot challenges contemporary anthropologists to question dominant narratives of globalization and to radically rethink the utility of the concept of culture, the emphasis upon fieldwork as the central methodology of the discipline, and the relationship between anthropologists and the people whom they study.
The Case for Heaven
Bestselling and award-winning author Lee Strobel interviews experts about the evidence for the afterlife and offers credible answers to the most provocative questions about what happens when we die, near-death experiences, heaven, and hell.

Investigative author Lee Strobel offers a lively and compelling study into one of the most provocative topics of our day. Through fascinating conversations with respected scholars and experts--a neuroscientist from Cambridge University, a researcher who analyzed a thousand accounts of near-death experiences, and an atheist-turn...
