Decolonial Mourning and the Caring Commons
This book is the product of an endless individual and collective process of mourning. It departs from the author’s mourning for her parents, their histories and struggles in Germany as Gastarbeiter, while it also engages with the political mourning of intersectional feminist movements against feminicide inCentral and South America; the struggles against state and police misogynoir violence of #SayHerName in the United States; the resistance of refugees and migrantized people against the coloniality of migration in Germany; and the intense political grief work of families, relatives, and friends who lost their loved ones in racist attacks from the 1980s until today in Germany. Bearing witness to their stories and accounts, this book explores how mourning is shaped both by its historical context and the political labor of caring commons, while it also follows the building of a conviviality infrastructure of support against migration-coloniality necropolitics, dwelling toward transformative and reparative practices of common justice.
The Palgrave Handbook of Critical Race and Gender
This handbook unravels the complexities of the global and local entanglements of race, gender and intersectionality within racial capitalism in times of #MeToo, #BlackLivesMatter, the Chilean uprising, Anti-Muslim racism, backlash against trans and queer politics, and global struggles against modern colonial femicide and extractivism. Contributors chart intersectional and decolonial perspectives on race and gender research across North America, Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, and South Africa, centering theoretical understandings of how these categories are imbricated and how they operate and mean individually and together. This book offers new ways to think about what is absent/present and why, how erasure works in historical and contemporary theoretical accounts of the complexity of lived experiences of race and gender, and how, as new issues arise, intersectionalities (re)emerge in the politics of race and gender. This handbook will be of interest to students and scholars across the social sciences and humanities.

¿Femicidio o feminicidio? Marcela Lagarde y Montserrat Sagot: dos visiones complementarias
En este número de la serie Pensadoras feministas latinoamericanas, Mariana Berlanga Gayón contrasta los conceptos de femicidio y feminicidio, acuñados por Montserrat Sagot y Marcela Lagarde, respectivamente, y comenta puntualmente las diferencias y los puntos en común entre ambas definiciones. Al mismo tiempo, la académica feminista hace una revisión del fenómeno de la violencia y los asesinatos contra mujeres que se multiplican por el mundo, en particular en América Latina y México.
Ruina y escombro en Latinoamérica
La historia de las ruinas recientes de América Latina apenas comienza a ser escrita a partir del continente mismo, por quienes habitan el territorio y han vivido el fenómeno de nuestra irregular modernidad. Se escribe a través de la palabra, del cuerpo, de las imágenes. No es una historia estática sino en movimiento, como las ruinas mismas, que siempre están en un proceso de degradación material, convirtiéndose en una especie de segunda naturaleza, como muestran las intervenciones performáticas que reúnen cuerpo y materia, así como la poesía y la gráfica popular que escribe, raya y pinta nuestras ciudades a riesgo de dejar en eso la vida. En este sentido, este libro es, por su diversidad de lugares y épocas, su propuesta interdisciplinaria y transversal, y su realización participativa y colectiva, una gran contribución a esa historia repleta de incongruencias y paradojas que hace que nuestro continente sea tan singular e inaprehensible.
Roberto López Moreno
La obra literaria de López Moreno es un muestrario de vigorosos registros entre las formas poéticas ligadas a la tradición y dos apuestas experimentales: el Poemuralismo y el Movimiento Laconista. El Poemural es expresión poética de nuestro tiempo, un desborde lingüístico e imaginativo, pero también una vanguardia que inspecciona la tradición cultural, artística y social para irrumpir y romper con ella.
Radical Women in Latin America
The rationale stated for studying radical women of Latin America is first to throw light on the development of dictatorship and authoritarianism, second to transcend the stereotype of inherently violent men and inherently peaceful women, and finally to demonstrate that there is no automatic sisterhood among women even of the same class and ethnicity. Brief chronologies of three countries each in Central and South America open the two sections. The contributors are historians and political scientists primarily from the US.

Children and Peace
This open access book brings together discourse on children and peace from the 15th International Symposium on the Contributions of Psychology to Peace, covering issues pertinent to children and peace and approaches to making their world safer, fairer and more sustainable.

Chapters contextualize each issue within specific social ecologi...
