Latin America's Multicultural Movements
Bringing together the expertise of dozens of Latin American scholars, Latin America's Multicultural Movements examines multicultural rights recognition in theory and in practice. The authors move beyond abstract debates common in the literature on multiculturalism to examine indigenous rights recognition in different real-world settings, comparing cases in unitary states (Bolivia, Ecuador) with subnational autonomy regimes in Mexico's federal states (Chiapas, Oaxaca, and Yucat?n).
Against Racism
Powerful narratives often describe Latin American nations as fundamentally mestizo. These narratives have hampered the acknowledgment of racism in the region, but recent multiculturalist reforms have increased recognition of Black and Indigenous identities and cultures. Multiculturalism may focus on identity and visibility and address more casual and social forms of racism, but can also distract attention from structural racism and racialized inequality, and constrain larger antiracist initiatives. Additionally, multiple understandings of how racism and antiracism fit into projects of social transformation make racism a complex and multifaceted issue. The essays in Against Racism examine actors in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico that move beyond recognition politics to address structural inequalities and material conflicts and build common ground with other marginalized groups. The organizations in this study advocate an approach to deep social structural transformation that is inclusive, fosters alliances, and is inspired by a radical imagination.

Una visión hermenéutica del contexto cultural contemporáneo
Nos encontramos actualmente en una especie de tránsito que nos está llevando a un abandono o revisión minuciosa de un paradigma, el de la Modernidad, hacia otro que aún no alcanzamos a vislumbrar a plenitud. Este tránsito solicita una comprensión del momento por el que estamos pasando en diversos ámbitos de nuestra realidad, para ello el mejor recurso con el que actualmente contamos es el de la hermenéutica, que ni está totalmente restringida como lo puede estar un riguroso método, ni es totalmente especulativa de tal manera que quepa cualquier cosa, lo que le permite inmiscuirse en diversos ámbitos sin perder cierta rigurosidad, es decir, incursionar en espacios como la ciencia y...
