The 2021 volume of the benchmark bibliography of Latin American Studies.
On Coerced Labor
On Coerced Labor focuses on those forms of labor relations that have been overshadowed by the “extreme” categories (wage labor and chattel slavery) in the historiography. It covers types of work lying between what the law defines as “free labor” and “slavery.” The frame of reference is the observation that although chattel slavery has largely been abolished in the course of the past two centuries, other forms of coerced labor have persisted in most parts of the world. While most nations have increasingly condemned the continued existence of slavery and the slave trade, they have tolerated labor relationships that involve violent control, economic exploitation through the appropriation of labor power, restriction of workers’ freedom of movement, and fraudulent debt obligations. Contributors are: Lisa Carstensen, Christian G. De Vito, Justin F. Jackson, Christine Molfenter, David Palmer, Nicola Pizzolato, Luis F.B. Plascencia, Magaly Rodríguez García, Kelvin Santiago-Valles, Nicole J. Siller, Marcel van der Linden, Sven Van Melkebeke.
Peace in Political Unsettlement
International peacebuilding has reached an impasse. Its lofty ambitions have resulted in at best middling success, punctuated by moments of outright failure. The discrediting of the term ‘liberal peacebuilding’ has seen it evolve to respond to the numerous critiques. Notions such as ‘inclusive peace’ merge the liberal paradigm with critical notions of context, and the need to refine practices to take account of ‘the local’ or ‘complexity’. However, how this would translate into clear guidance for the practice of peacebuilding is unclear. Paradoxically, contemporary peacebuilding policy has reached an unprecedented level of vagueness. Peace in political unsettlement provides a...
Voces polifónicas del derecho en la construcción de una sociedad en paz a través de la educación
La diversidad y profundidad de los tópicos abordados revelan el alcance y la relevancia contemporánea del derecho en un contexto globalizado y en constante cambio. Desde la intersección entre neurociencia y derecho penal hasta el papel de la inteligencia artificial en la lucha contra la criminalidad organizada, estas páginas desvelan la interrelación inextricable entre disciplinas aparentemente dispares, demostrando la imperiosa necesidad de un enfoque interdisciplinario en la resolución de los desafíos legales del siglo XXI.
Aborto y control social
Es una obra que analiza el fenómeno del aborto desde una perspectiva sociocultural y política, explorando cómo las normas y las políticas públicas influyen en las decisiones individuales y colectivas en torno a este tema. El libro busca examinar el aborto no solo como un tema de salud reproductiva, sino también como un asunto que refleja dinámicas de control social, género y derechos humanos.
Fresh Banana Leaves
A 2022 Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist in Science & Technology An Indigenous environmental scientist breaks down why western conservationism isn't working--and offers Indigenous models informed by case studies, personal stories, and family histories that center the voices of Latin American women and land protectors. Despite the undeniable fact that Indigenous communities are among the most affected by climate devastation, Indigenous science is nowhere to be found in mainstream environmental policy or discourse. And while holistic land, water, and forest management practices born from millennia of Indigenous knowledge systems have much to teach all of us, Indigenous science has long bee...
The Persistence of Violence
Colombia’s headline story, about the peace process with guerrilla and its attendant controversies, does not consider the fundamental contradiction of a nation that spans generosity and violence, warmth and hatred—products of its particular pattern of invasion, dispossession, and enslavement. The Persistence of Violence fills that gap in understanding. Colombia is a place that is two countries in one—the ideal and the real—summed up in the idiomatic expression, not unique to Colombia, but particularly popular there, "Hecha la ley, hecha la trampa" (When you pass a law, you create a loophole). Less cynically, and more poetically, the Nobel Laureate Gabriel García Márquez deemed Colombians capable of both the most noble acts and the most abject ones, in a world where it seems anyone might do anything, from the beautiful to the horrendous.The Persistence of Violence draws on those contradictions and paradoxes to look at how violence—and resistance to it—characterize Colombian popular culture, from football to soap opera to journalism to tourism to the environment.
Política criminal sistémica
"Desde una aproximación criminológica y sistémica, esta obra se aproxima al entendimiento de la política criminal, pasando por sus diferentes vertientes y desarrollos, lo cual, permite entender el comportamiento de la misma en el hoy y las acciones que se privilegian desde esta. Se entiende que el entendimiento de la conducta delictiva y su sanción, es una tarea que trasciende los límites del derecho y acoge saberes diversos, por lo cual, la obra discute acerca del rol de diferentes disciplinas que históricamente se han involucrado con el objeto de estudio criminológico como: la criminología, la sociología, la penología, la psicología, las ciencias políticas y la antropología. ...
