Slow Harms and Citizen Action
Slow Harms and Citizen Action chronicles the struggle against toxic exposure in urban Latin America. By examining cities in Argentina, Colombia, and Peru, Veronica Herrera shows how local movements fighting for pollution remediation can ally with resourced outsiders for impactful change. Moreover, Herrera illustrates how the most successful environmental movements occurred in settings where established human rights movements had previously helped dismantle state-sponsored militarized violence. By unpacking human rights movements as thoroughfares for environmental activism, Slow Harms and Citizen Action sheds new light on the struggles for environmental justice in Latin America.
Globalizing Cultures
With the crisis of the global capitalist economy the topic of global culture is regaining its importance and needs to be revisited from both theoretical and practical standpoints. How do we make sense of this rapid flow of global consumer culture across national borders? What is the role of corporations, governments, ONG and social movements in shaping the terms of these flows? How do these flows of money, people, culture, goods and services work in practice? How do these flows affect the lives of the majority of regular people consuming and producing in the global marketplace? Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this volume examines the way cultures and individuals oppose, resist and re-center globalization. Contributors are: Gwen I. Alexis, Andrea Borghini, Cory Blad, Jack Bratich, Enrico Campo, Rekha Datta, Ricardo A. Dello Buono, Peter Kivisto, Vincenzo Mele, Mihaela Moscaliuc, Nancy Naples, Ino Rossi,Victoria Reyes, Saliba Sarsar, Manal Stephan, Karen Schmelzkopf, and Marina Vujnovic.

El ejercicio profesional del trabajo social desde el proyecto ético-político
La publicación es resultado de una serie de reflexiones de investigación y acción, principalmente de docentes y egresados que han estado vinculados al Programa de Trabajo Social de la Universidad Externado de Colombia, y que confluyen en la misma experiencia del ambiente universitario, la cátedra, la investigación y la acción social, desarrollada en un ambiente inter- disciplinar que tiende a nuclear la investigación como transversal en la formación de las ciencias sociales. Desde sus inicios, la apuesta académica en el Externado intentó dar res- puesta al agitado ambiente político, económico y social que se vivía en América Latina y Colombia, el cual demandaba por profesionale...

Árboles ciudadanos en la memoria y en el paisaje cultural de Bogotá
No sólo son los Cerros Orientales y los humedales los protagonistas del paisaje natural de Bogotá. Entre sus calles alrededor de soberbias edificaciones como acompañantes singulares de los peatones en medio del caos y los distintos tipos de contaminación sobreviven numerosos árboles seres que si bien no hablan viven que aunque no se desplazan sí propician traslado y movimiento en el flujo de las memorias de quienes los contemplan. Son elementos patrimoniales por excelencia. Inobjetable entonces la importancia de una publicación que reproduzca imágenes de los árboles de Bogotá inscribiendo relatos de ciudadanos con respecto a aquellos y llamando la atención sobre la relevancia que ...
