Decolonial Feminism in Abya Yala
This is a collection of eleven chapters and an introduction that develop key arguments in decolonial feminism, particularly, the coloniality of gender, the critique of white and Eurocentric feminisms, the imbrication between gender, race, and colonialism, feminicides, and the coloniality of democracy and public institutions. The introduction addresses the path of decolonial feminism: from a new approach to understanding the relationship between gender as a category, race, and colonialism that combined U.S. Third World feminism and scholarship on coloniality and decoloniality to its exponential growth in the hands of activists and engaged scholars from Latin America and the Caribbean. Today, much of the literature on decolonial feminism in Latin America and the Caribbean remains unknown in the U.S. This anthology seeks to start remedying this problem with seven translations of work originally written in Spanish, and three essays originally written in English that address the fundamental concepts of decolonial feminism as well as its contributions to important contemporary political and intellectual debates.
Critical Epidemiology and the People's Health
How can we create a more rigorous and effective epidemiology? Critical Epidemiology and the People's Health invites readers to the next great paradigm in public health by promoting a progressive, transdisciplinary, intercultural, community-building approach--one that is radically divergent from the presiding object-based, empiricist mode of thinking.
Ethnomathematics in Action
This book presents a collection of ethnomathematical studies of diverse mathematical practices in Afro-Brazilian, indigenous, rural and urban communities in Brazil. Ethnomathematics as a research program aims to investigate the interrelationships of local mathematical knowledge sources with broader universal forms of mathematics to understand ideas, procedures, and practices found in distinct cultural groups. Based on this approach, the studies brought together in this volume show how this research program is applied and practiced in a culturally diverse country such as Brazil, where African, indigenous and European cultures have generated different forms of mathematical practice. These stud...
Etnohistorias de América Latina y el Caribe
Este es un trabajo colectivo, a partir de una convocatoria abierta, que dio como resultado el libro titulado: Perfiles etnohistóricos en América Latina y el Caribe, que contiene artículos que presentan resultados de investigaciones, reflexiones críticas, teóricas, metodológicas y técnicas de investigación utilizadas en los estudios etnohistóricos del área. El interés de la obra fue generar el debate sobre la articulación de los contextos locales a los procesos de la globalización y sus nexos históricos, políticos, sociales y culturales con América Latina y el Caribe. Es por lo que, en su mayoría, los textos trascienden las barreras geográficas y geopolíticas, y van más al...

A Strange and Sublime Address
Abhi, a Bengali boy, spends his school holidays at his uncle's home in Calcutta, trying to make sense of the often confusing world of adults around him. Heatwaves, thunderstorms, mealtimes, prayer-sessions, shopping expeditions and family visits create the shifting tectonic plates that will eventually shape the family's life. Delicate, nuanced, full of exquisite detail, A Strange and Sublime Address is also a paean to the city, with nine short stories that illustrate the world of Amit Chaudhuri's imagination. With a foreword by Colm Tóibín
Between Heaven and Earth
Between Heaven and Earth explores the relationships men, women, and children have formed with the Virgin Mary and the saints in twentieth-century American Catholic history, and reflects, more broadly, on how people live in the company of sacred figures and how these relationships shape the ties between people on earth. In this boldly argued and beautifully written book, Robert Orsi also considers how scholars of religion occupy the ground in between belief and analysis, faith and scholarship. Orsi infuses his analysis with an autobiographical voice steeped in his own Italian-American Catholic background--from the devotion of his uncle Sal, who had cerebral palsy, to a "crippled saint," Marga...
Oralidades y escrituras kichwas
Las tensiones entre oralidad y escritura han caracterizado silenciosamente tanto los estudios como los esfuerzos de enseñanza/aprendizaje y de revitalización de las lenguas minorizadas en sus diferentes contextos sociales, culturales, históricos y políticos en la región. Ese tránsito de ida y vuelta entre los universos de la oralidad y la escritura, mediado de manera creciente por medios audiovisuales, ha provocado discusiones y dilemas en distintos ámbitos de uso de estas lenguas. En este contexto, est elibro recoge un selecto conjunto de estudios que aborda estas complejas dinámicas desde distintas perspectivas temáticas y experiencias sociales, en este caso, del quichua ecuatoriano.
