Book excerpt: A comprehensive overview of the interdisciplinary field of Women's and Gender Studies, featuring original contributions from leading experts from around the world The Companion to Women's and Gender Studies is a comprehensive resource for students and scholars alike, exploring the central concepts, theories, themes, debates, and events in this dynamic field.

Original essays offer fresh perspectives on the mechanisms by which gender intersects with other systems of power and privilege, the relation of androcentric approaches to science and gender bias in research, how feminist activists use media to challenge misrepresentations and inequalities, disparity between men and women in the labor market, how social movements continue to change Women's and Gender Studies, and more.

Download or read book 'Mixed Race' Studies written by Jayne O. Ifekwunigwe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mixed race studies is one of the fastest growing, as well as one of the most important and controversial areas in the field of race and ethnic relations. Bringing together pioneering and controversial scholarship from both the social and the biological sciences, as well as the humanities, this reader charts the evolution of debates on 'race' and 'mixed race' from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century. The book is divided into three main sections: tracing the origins: miscegenation, moral degeneracy and genetics mapping contemporary and foundational discourses: 'mixed race', identities politics, and celebration debating definitions: multiraciality, census categories and critiques. This collection adds a new dimension to the growing body of literature on the topic and provides a comprehensive history of the origins and directions of 'mixed race' research as an intellectual movement. For students of anthropology, race and ethnicity, it is an invaluable resource for examining the complexities and paradoxes of 'racial' thinking across space, time and disciplines.

Download or read book Juan de la Rosa written by Nataniel Aguirre and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-04-29 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long considered a classic in Bolivia, Juan de la Rosa tells the story of a young boy's coming of age during the violent and tumultuous years of Bolivia's struggle for independence. Indeed, in this remarkable novel, Juan's search for his personal identity functions as an allegory of Bolivia's search for its identity as a nation. Set in the early 1800s, the novel is narrated by one of the last surviving Bolivian rebels, octogenarian Juan de la Rosa. Juan recreates his childhood in the rebellious town of Cochabamba, and with it a large cast of full bodied, Dickensian characters both heroic and malevolent. The larger cultural dislocations brought about by Bolivia's political upheaval are echoed in those experienced by Juan, whose mother's untimely death sets off a chain of unpredictable events that propel him into the fiery crucible of the South American Independence Movement. Outraged by Juan's outspokenness against Spanish rule and his awakening political consciousness, his loyalist guardians banish him to the countryside, where he witnesses firsthand the Spaniards' violent repression and rebels' valiant resistance that crystallize both his personal destiny and that of his country. In Sergio Gabriel Waisman's fluid translation, English readers have access to Juan de la Rosa for the very first time.

Download or read book Nomadic Subjects written by Rosi Braidotti and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-24 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than fifteen years, Nomadic Subjects has guided discourse in continental philosophy and feminist theory, exploring the constitution of contemporary subjectivity, especially the concept of difference within European philosophy and political theory. Rosi Braidotti's creative style vividly renders a productive crisis of modernity. From a feminist perspective, she recasts embodiment, sexual difference, and complex concepts through relations to technology, historical events, and popular culture. This thoroughly revised and expanded edition retains all but two of Braidotti's original essays, including her investigations into epistemology's relation to the "woman question;" feminism and biomedical ethics; European feminism; and the possible relations between American feminism and European politics and philosophy. A new piece integrates Deleuze and Guattari's concept of the "becoming-minoritarian" more deeply into modern democratic thought, and a chapter on methodology explains Braidotti's methods while engaging with her critics. A new introduction muses on Braidotti's provocative legacy.

Book excerpt: This book examines the evolution of the phenomenon and explores the genesis of overtourism and the system dynamics underlining it. The 'overtourism' phenomenon is defined as the excessive growth of visitors leading to overcrowding and the consequential suffering of residents, due to temporary and often seasonal tourism peaks, that lead to permanent changes in lifestyles, amenities and well- being. Enormous tensions in overtourism affected destinations have driven the intensification of policy making and scholarly attention toward seeking antidotes to an issue that is considered paradoxical and problematic. Moving beyond the 'top 10 things you can do about overtourism', this book examines the evolution of the phenomenon and explores the genesis of overtourism as well as the system dynamics underpinning it. With a rigorous scientific approach, the book uses systems-thinking and contemporary paradigms around sustainable development, resilience planning and degrowth; while considering global economic, socio-political, environmental discourses. Researchers, analysts, policy makers and industry stakeholders working within tourism as well as those within the private sector, community groups, civil society groups and NGOs will find this book an essential source of information.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducción de Javier Martínez Peinado. En este libro se presentan un conjunto de reflexiones sobre los rasgos estructurales de la economía global y del sistema capitalista mundial, convertidos en retos para el presente y el futuro: la imparable polarización social e internacional, la fragilidad crítica de la dinámica económica y la crisis del Estado-nación en el sistema global, expresada como pérdida de «soberanía nacional». La apropiación capitalista del trabajo asalariado global y de las rentas de la Naturaleza (mineras, petroleras, biológicas), a través de una mediación financiero-especulativa, sitúa los procesos de centralización capitalista en cada vez menos conglomerados empresariales globales. Como resultado, millones de trabajadores de la Periferia, con jornadas más largas y salarios más bajos, llenan de materias primas y productos bien baratos las fábricas y escaparates del Centro. O. Caputo fue gerente de CODELCO, institución que gestionó la industria nacionalizada del cobre bajo el gobierno de Salvador Allende en Chile. J. Estay es profesor e investigador de la Facultad de Economía de Puebla (México) y J. M. Vidal Villa fue catedrático de Economía Mundial en la Universidad de Barcelona.

Download or read book Care for Sale written by Ana P. Gutierrez Garza and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In homes and brothels around the world, migrant women are selling a unique commodity: care. Care for Sale is an in-depth ethnography of a group of middle-class women from Latin America who exchange care and intimacy for money while working as domestic and sex workers in London. Illuminating the complexities of care work, the book offers a detailed study of women's lives and working conditions. It considers how their experience of migration and intimate labor is one of rupture that both enables and forces them to gradually reconstitute themselves, in their host cities, as people quite distinct from their normal selves back home. Care for Sale illustrates the connections and the factors that contribute to migrant women choosing either domestic or sex work, including their concerns about money and morality. It moves away from a narrow focus on migration and labor to focus instead on the creation and (re)creation of persons; and on the ways in which people fashion themselves and cultivate difference, inequality, or commonality as part of their self-making projects. By doing this, the book shows migrants not only as economic actors, but also as individuals involved in an intimate process that constantly modifies their sense of morality and personhood. Care for Sale is a volume in the series ISSUES OF GLOBALIZATION: CASE STUDIES IN CONTEMPORARY ANTHROPOLOGY, which examines the experiences of individual communities in our contemporary world. Each volume offers a brief and engaging exploration of a particular issue arising from globalization and its cultural, political, and economic effects on certain peoples or groups.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenta una teoría de la globalización fundamentada en el surgimiento de una clase capitalista transnacional y un estado transnacional. Robinson demuestra cómo la movilidad de capital le ha permitido a éste reorganizar los procesos productivos a lo ancho del mundo de acuerdo con una amplia gama de consideraciones que permiten la maximización de las oportunidades para la ganancia. Como resultado, los sistemas productivos anteriormente nacionales han sido fragmentados e integrados externamente en nuevos circuitos globalizados de acumulación. Al mismo tiempo esta descentralización y fragmentación de la producción da lugar a la concentración y la centralización del mando y control de la economía global en manos de capital transnacional. Esta nueva organización de la economía mundial encuentra su contraparte en el surgimiento de redes de un estado transnacional que permite a la élite transnacional coordinar y extender su radio de acción e imponer nuevas relaciones de dominación sobre las clases populares. La hegemonía en el siglo XXI no será ejercida por un Estado-nación determinado sino por esta nueva clase dominante global por medio de la maquinaria del estado transnacional. Pero el nuevo sistema de capitalismo global está impregnado de contradicciones explosivas entre ellas, la creciente brecha entre los ricos y los pobres y el deterioro ecológico. El futuro será testigo de continuos conflictos y disputas por el control entre el nuevo grupo dominante transnacional y las filas cada vez más numerosas de los desposeídos y marginados.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ángel Rama was one of twentieth-century Latin America's most distinguished men of letters. Writing across Cultures is his comprehensive analysis of the varied sources of Latin American literature. Originally published in 1982, the book links Rama's work on Spanish American modernism with his arguments about the innovative nature of regionalist literature, and it foregrounds his thinking about the close relationship between literary movements, such as modernism or regionalism, and global trends in social and economic development. In Writing across Cultures, Rama extends the Cuban anthropologist Fernando Ortiz's theory of transculturation far beyond Cuba, bringing it to bear on regional cultures across Latin America, where new cultural arrangements have been forming among indigenous, African, and European societies for the better part of five centuries. Rama applies this concept to the work of the Peruvian novelist, poet, and anthropologist José María Arguedas, whose writing drew on both Spanish and Quechua, Peru's two major languages and, by extension, cultures. Rama considered Arguedas's novel Los ríos profundos (Deep Rivers) to be the most accomplished example of narrative transculturation in Latin America. Writing across Cultures is the second of Rama's books to be translated into English.

This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este estudio nuevo provee una exposición original y provocativa del capitalismo global a través de sus múltiples dimensiones: económica, política, social, ecológica, militar y cultural. Basado en sus trabajos anteriores sobre globalización, William I. Robinson discute la naturaleza del nuevo capitalismo global, el crecimiento de una producción y un sistema financiero globalizados, y de una clase capitalista y un Estado trasnacionales quienes se han tenido que enfrentar a la nueva normalidad que ha resultado de la pandemia que estamos viviendo. Asimismo, nos advierte sobre el crecimiento de un Estado policial global para contener las contradicciones explosivas del sistema capitalista global que está totalmente en crisis y fuera de control. Robinson concluye con una exploración sobre cómo las diversas fuerzas sociales y políticas está respondiendo ante la crisis actual y los diversos escenarios que podemos adoptar en el futuro. Es interesante analizar a través de cada uno de los capítulos de este estudio, cómo han afectado a la humanidad las decisiones que han tomado los Estados policiales, las clases trasnacionales y el capitalismo global, llevándonos hacia una crisis global que se ha hecho más evidente a causa de la covid-19, por lo que, más que criticar y reprochar incesablemente nuestra realidad, Robinson nos aporta en este libro las ganas de cuestionar nuestra actualidad para así generar un cambio que, en definitiva, es necesario para poder salir de la crisis actual de la humanidad y seguir proyectándonos hacia adelante.
