Gender, Health, and Society in Contemporary Latin America and the Caribbean takes a multilayered approach to the contemporary peoples of Latin America, the Caribbean, and Latinx peoples in the greater diaspora. Central to this edited collection, and critical to its creative significance and contribution, is the conceptual unification of gendered health, the embodiment of identity, societal structures, and social inequality, and the ways in which gender, health, and society intersect daily. By emphasizing the complex ways in which gender and health intersect in Latin America, the contributors to this collection offer a more detailed look at how gender embodies health inequities in these populations and how societal woes impact and constrain gendered bodies in public spheres.
Este trabalho consiste num exercício de descrição interpretativa de um microcosmo social habitado por pessoas da Terceira Idade de Brasília. A pesquisa foi feita nos espaços de convívio habitualmente frequentados por eles. Os temas tratados guardam uma relação próxima com seu dia-a-dia. O relato foi redigido sob a forma de depoimentos, um apanhado de trechos que supomos representativos, elaborados a partir de notas de campo, conversas informais e de algumas dezenas de entrevistas. A grande motivação é a de que o relato possa evocar a um leitor desavisado, distante desta realidade, uma imagem vívida, o mais colorida possível, de como estes os idosos levam suas vidas em Brasília hoje.

Privatization is under attack. Beginning in the 1980s, thousands of failing state-owned enterprises worldwide have been turned over to the private sector. But public opinion has turned against privatization. A large political backlash has been brewing for some time, infused by accusations of corruption, abuse of market power, and neglect of the poor. What is the real record of privatization and are the criticisms justified? 'Privatization in Latin America' evaluates the empirical evidence on privatization in a region that has witnessed an extensive decline in the state's share of production over the past 20 years. The book is a compilation of recent studies that provide a comprehensive analy...
