Le statut des peuples autochtones
Cet ouvrage est le fruit de multiples rencontres réalisées durant les deux sessions du Campus international d'été sur le statut comparé des Peuples autochtones organisé à la Faculté de droit de l'Université de Rouen en 2010 et 2011. Manifestation unique en France, ce Campus, basé sur la philosophie de l'université populaire et donc ouvert à tous, a été conçu avant tout comme un lieu de dialogues. De différentes manières, la vie de ces peuples s'inscrit dans une histoire continuelle de luttes contre une menace récurrente d'ethnocide. Leur offrir un espace dédié à la parole et propice à un dialogue serein a contribué à une information que nous souhaitons partager, infor...

The Crisis of Multiculturalism in Latin America
This book presents a challenging view of the adoption and co-option of multiculturalism in Latin America from six scholars with extensive experience of grassroots movements and intellectual debates. It raises serious questions of theory, method, and interpretation for both social scientists and policymakers on the basis of cases in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, and Ecuador. Multicultural policies have enabled people to recover the land of their ancestors, administer justice in accordance with their traditions, provide recognition as full citizens of the nation, and promote affirmative action to enable them to take the place in society which is theirs by right. The message of this book ...
Haunting Biology
In Haunting Biology Emma Kowal recounts the troubled history of Western biological studies of Indigenous Australians and asks how we now might see contemporary genomics, especially that conducted by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander scientists. Kowal illustrates how the material persistence of samples over decades and centuries folds together the fates of different scientific methodologies. Blood, bones, hair, comparative anatomy, human biology, physiology, and anthropological genetics all haunt each other across time and space, together with the many racial theories they produced and sustained. The stories Kowal tells feature a variety of ghostly presences: a dead anatomist, a fetishized piece of hair hidden away in a war trunk, and an elusive white Indigenous person. By linking this history to contemporary genomics and twenty-first-century Indigeneity, Kowal outlines the fraught complexities, perils, and potentials of studying Indigenous biological difference in the twenty-first century.
Literature and Subjection
In Literature and Subjection, Horacio Legras employs theoretical, philosophical, cultural, political, and historical analysis to assess the factors that have both facilitated and stifled the integration of peripheral experiences into Latin American literature. Legras examines a handful of contemporary authors who have attempted in earnest to present marginalized voices to the Western world, and evaluates the success or failure of these endeavors. His deep and insightful evaluation of key works by novelists Juan Jose Saer (The Witness), Nellie Campobello (Cartucho), Roa Bastos (Son of Man), and Jose Maria Arguedas (The Fox from Up Above and the Fox from Down Below), among others, provides a theoretical basis for understanding the plight of the author, the peripheral voice, and the confines of the literary medium. What emerges is an intricate discussion of the clash and subjugation of cultures and the tragedy of a lost worldview.
Nahua Horizons
Nahua Horizons: Writing, Persuasion, and Futurities in Colonial Mexico investigates how Nahuas conceptualized their futures in the early colonial period. Scholar Ezekiel G. Stear delves deeply into canonical texts such as the Florentine Codex and the Crónica mexicayotl as well as understudied texts such as the Lienzo de Quauhquechollan, the Tira de Tepechpan, and the Anales de Juan Bautista. The study does more than describe how Nahuas conceived of their own futures: it also shows their specific plans for moving into the coming years. The book examines how Nahua writers in Central Mexico and other Mesoamerican voices in colonial Spanish America played an active, decisive role in shaping cul...

Le Téhéran des quartiers populaires
30 photos couleurs in texte Téhéran, capitale de l’Iran, a un double visage : celui d’une métropole moderne de treize millions d’habitants, composée de tours et de résidences de luxe, découpée par des réseaux d’autoroutes, et celui d’une ville ancienne et populaire avec un tissu urbain dense et vernaculaire. Cette recherche s’intéresse à cette deuxième « ville », située en périphérie, dans la zone sud ou dans le centre historique, proche du Grand Bazar. Ses quartiers, en apparence vétustes et à l’écart des changements, possèdent un dynamisme social et économique propre, solidement ancré. Les habitants, composés essentiellement de migrants, ont longtemps r...
