Occupying Schools, Occupying Land
In Occupying Schools, Occupying Land, Rebecca Tarlau looks at the Brazilian Landless Workers' Movement over the past thirty-five years to illustrate how social movements can use state services, such as schools, to support their social change goals. Through a detailed ethnographic and long-term examination of the MST's educational struggle, Tarlau shows how educational institutions can in turn help movements build capacity and social influence. This bookprovides an analysis of how activists convinced government officials to implement these educational practices and how these initiatives strengthened the movement.
The Tradition of the Image of Edessa
The Image of Edessa was an image of Christ, which, according to tradition, was of miraculous origin. It was taken from Edessa to Constantinople in 944, and disappeared from known history in the aftermath of the Fourth Crusade in 1204. It generated, however, a vast amount of literature and hundreds of copies in churches all over the Byzantine world. This book is a study of the literature, paintings, icons and other aspects related to the Image of Edessa. It examines how it was used as a tool to express Christ’s humanity and for various other purposes, and how some of the related literature became completely decontextualised and used as a magical charm, especially in the West.
Pueblos indígenas y educación No. 66
El sentimiento de esperanza se deja animar por la promesa de que, pese a todas las condiciones adversas que logran replegar y desplazar las lenguas y culturas indígenas, los pueblos originarios se resisten a que estas desaparezcan. Siguen reinventando formas de resistencia, a veces propositiva, a veces expectante, a menudo esgrimiendo los recursos de la negociación con el Estado, las más de las veces sustentando sus voces en la memoria colectiva. En el marco del Año Internacional de las Lenguas impulsado desde el sistema de Naciones Unidas, esperamos contribuir en este número de nuestra revista a la reflexión y al diálogo, al reconocimiento, valoración y desarrollo de estas lenguas y...
Educación intercultural bilingüe en Ecuador (1989 - 2007)
La invasión europea a los territorios, luego conocidos como América, ocurrida hace más de 500 años, fue el inicio de la colonización. Además del uso de la fuerza, se inició un sistemático proceso de imposición de la cultura dominante como mecanismo para subyugar al indígena. Esos intentos dieron, más bien, lugar a la resistencia de los pueblos originarios, desde un proceso de lucha por sus derechos; lucha que aún no ha terminado. Uno de ellos era el derecho a la educación que finalmente pudo darse en su propia lengua y hacia la integración intercultural con la sociedad dominante. Este estudio analiza la Educación Bilingüe Intercultural (EIB) desde su reconocimiento oficial e...
Land of Necessity
Published in cooperation with the William P. Clements Center for Southwest Studies, Southern Methodist University. In Land of Necessity, historians and anthropologists unravel the interplay of the national and transnational and of scarcity and abundance in the region split by the 1,969-mile boundary line dividing Mexico and the United States. This richly illustrated volume, with more than 100 images including maps, photographs, and advertisements, explores the convergence of broad demographic, economic, political, cultural, and transnational developments resulting in various forms of consumer culture in the borderlands. Though its importance is uncontestable, the role of necessity in consume...
