El ejercicio profesional del trabajo social desde el proyecto ético-político
La publicación es resultado de una serie de reflexiones de investigación y acción, principalmente de docentes y egresados que han estado vinculados al Programa de Trabajo Social de la Universidad Externado de Colombia, y que confluyen en la misma experiencia del ambiente universitario, la cátedra, la investigación y la acción social, desarrollada en un ambiente inter- disciplinar que tiende a nuclear la investigación como transversal en la formación de las ciencias sociales. Desde sus inicios, la apuesta académica en el Externado intentó dar res- puesta al agitado ambiente político, económico y social que se vivía en América Latina y Colombia, el cual demandaba por profesionale...
la reconceptualización del trabajo social en Colombia
La Reconceptualización, tema recurrente en Trabajo Social, es para el autor asunto no debidamente investigado y cuya comprensión es necesaria para construir un sólido proyecto profesional. Este libro, reúne el conocimiento gestado por más de una década de investigación. La argumentación se edifica sobre algunos supuestos: 1) Trabajo Social es una profesión determinada por relaciones sociales de producción capitalistas; 2) El auge y la crisis del capital tienen correlatos en la historia profesional; 3) La Reconceptualización debe entenderse en el marco de dicha crisis; y 4) Las dinámicas del capital tienen raíces estructurales-globales y expresiones locales, ambas inciden en la c...
América Latina na encruzilhada
O livro América Latina na encruzilhada é um balanço, nem sempre otimista e alentador, das duas últimas décadas de transformações em nosso continente. Após uma euforia inicial, parecida com aquela experimentada nos primeiros anos da Unidade Popular com Salvador Allende no Chile em 1970-1973, uma série de governos populares na Argentina, Brasil, Bolívia, Equador e, ainda uma vez, no Chile, fez ressurgir a possibilidade de mudanças profundas num continente onde, desde suas origens, a colonidade parecia ser um destino inexorável. No entanto, uma série de golpes, mesmo que com novas roupagens, primeiro em Honduras, depois no Paraguai, Brasil e Bolívia viria explicitar que mesmo os g...
A história pelo avesso
São vários os méritos deste livro, destacamos apenas dois: o primeiro é a radical superação do histórico endogenismo de que enfermou o estudo do processo constitutivo da profissão, herança do velho conservadorismo; o segundo é a amplitude do seu horizonte analítico, que vai além das fronteiras brasileiras e latino-americanas. Para os profissionais do Serviço Social, este livro recupera criticamente a sua história recente (1960-1980) e lhes oferece parâmetros para a análise da sua contemporaneidade. Para os leitores da área das ciências sociais, atesta a maturidade intelectual alcançada pelos assistentes sociais no continente (e também na Europa Ocidental e nos Estados Unidos).
Trabajo social en tiempo de capital fetiche
En esta nueva obra, Marilda Iamamoto, una referencia indispensable para el trabajo social y el pensamiento crítico brasileño y latino-americano, que viene formando generaciones, realiza un denso análisis del significado de la profesión a la luz de la dinámica contemporánea del capital. Aquí se encuentra su síntesis de la crítica marxista de la economía política actual – el tiempo del capital fetiche – para lanzar luces sobre sobre la radicalización de las expresiones de la cuestión social y sus impactos para el ejercicio y la formación profesional, en una clara actualización del texto fundador de 1982. Son visibles el aliento, la inquietud y la tenacidad de la investigaci...
Land Policies for Growth and Poverty Reduction
This volume synthesizes insights from the vast literature on land policy, taking due account of actual experiences in policy implementation, and suggests ways to design land policies that promote growth as well as poverty reduction.
The Age of Unproductive Capital
This book offers a very direct and readable analysis of the main challenges facing our societies today, such as reducing inequality, protecting the planet, and in particular mobilizing our financial resources which linger in tax havens and feed speculation, instead of funding the sustainable development we need. It precisely considers the most important factors, including corporate governance, financialization, capturing political power, and the limits to adequate national economic policies in a world dominated by global finance. The book’s presentation of how sensible and productive policies are dismantled will be highly interesting for the international community, whether in the academic, corporate or government spheres.
Humanities
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon became the editor in 2000. The subject categories for Volume 58 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Humanities Art History (including ethnohistory) Literature (including translations from the Spanish and Portuguese) Philosophy: Latin American Thought Music

Drug Trafficking, Corruption and States
Drug Trafficking, Corruption and States is cutting edge research. Garay Salamanca and Salcedo-Albarán, along with their contributing authors help document the transition from economic to political imperatives within transnational drug cartels. The break from the Zetas by La Familia Michoacana is one example contained in their empirical survey. Social Network Analysis is their tool for illuminating the varying dynamics of cartel-state inter-penetration and reconfiguration. In doing so they clearly discern between State Capture (StC) and Co-opted State Reconfiguration (CStR). As the drug wars and criminal insurgencies rage in the Americas and beyond, this seminal framework will facilitate efforts by scholars, law enforcement officials, intelligence analysts and policymakers to understand shifts in sovereignty, and to illuminate the mechanisms of transnational illicit networks and their interaction with the state.
