Navigating Life and Work in Old Republic São Paulo
This volume examines the experiences of São Paulo’s working class during Brazil’s Old Republic (1891–1930), showing how individuals and families adapted to forces and events such as urbanization, discrimination, migration, and World War I. In this unique study, Ball combines social and economic methods to present a robust historical analysis of everyday life along racial, ethnic, national, and gender lines. Drawing from both statistical data and primary sources such as letters, newspapers, and interview transcripts, Ball demonstrates how the nation’s coffee boom drew immigrants from Italy, Portugal, Germany, Lebanon, and northeastern Brazil. She examines the ways these workers respo...
The (un)rule of Law and the Underprivileged in Latin America
This study describes a Latin American legal system which punishes only the poor and a democratic state which fails to control its own agents' arbitrary practices. The contributors argue that judicial reform cannot be seperated from human rights and that justice must be made available to the poor.
Chains of Justice
National human rights institutions—state agencies charged with protecting and promoting human rights domestically—have proliferated dramatically since the 1990s; today more than a hundred countries have NHRIs, with dozens more seeking to join the global trend. These institutions are found in states of all sizes—from the Maldives and Barbados to South Africa, Mexico, and India; they exist in conflict zones and comparatively stable democracies alike.

As human rights norms gained visibi...

Legacies of the Left Turn in Latin America
Legacies of the Left Turn in Latin America: The Promise of Inclusive Citizenship contains original essays by a diverse group of leading and emerging scholars from North America, Europe, and Latin America. The book speaks to wide-ranging debates on democracy, the left, and citizenship in Latin America. What were the effects of a decade and a half of left and center-left governments? The central purpose of this book is to evaluate both the positive and negative effects of the Left turn on state-society relations and inclusion. Promises of social inclusion and the expansion of citizenship rights were paramount to the center-left discourses upon the factions' arrival to power in the late 1990s a...
Dostęp do prawa
Problematyka monografii dotyczy (...) kwestii kluczowych z punktu widzenia społeczeństwa oraz jakości jego instytucji. Kwestie dostępu do prawa były rzadko podejmowane przez polskich socjologów prawa, w odróżnieniu od socjologów ze Stanów Zjednoczonych i Europy Zachodniej, gdzie stanowiły one, i nadal stanowią, ważny przedmiot badań empirycznych i debaty teoretycznej, co z kolei stanowi impuls dla rozwoju socjologii prawa jako dziedziny nauki. Ponadto recenzowana monografia w sposób niezwykle obszerny i rzetelny przedstawia całość dorobku zagranicznego oraz polskiego i jest przykładem twórczej analizy tego dorobku, opartej na istotnych kompetencjach – teoretycznych i em...
