Book Synopsis Multiculturalismo E Pluralismo Jurídico by : Valdoir Da Silva Santos
Download or read book Multiculturalismo E Pluralismo Jurídico written by Valdoir Da Silva Santos and published by Clube de Autores. This book was released on 2012-12-23 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apenas para ilustrar um dentre os diversos desafios a serem abrigados pelo novo direito, menciona-se que no Brasil os afrodescendentes representam aproximadamente 50% (cinqüenta por cento) da população. Paradoxalmente, na ocupação dos cargos no Poder Judiciário estima-se em apenas 1% (um por cento) a presença de afrodescendentes. Caso, seja do interesse, poder-se-á verificar esses cargos distribuídos na hierarquia interna do Poder Judiciário para constatar, de forma ainda mais contundente, a presença decrescente na medida em que a remuneração aumenta. A ausência ou insuficiência de estudos sobre a história da África, conforme constatei, em 1988, quando tive a oportunidade de contatar com historiadores autênticos daquele continente [Comissão de Resgate da Cultura Negra (SECET/SC) e Grupo pró-comemoração do Centenário da Abolição da Escravatura (UFSC)], associado com a lenta e tímida inserção de uma disciplina nos currículos oficiais da estrutura formal do ensino brasileiro, atestam o distanciamento entre os julgadores ou operadores estatais da justiça e domínio de aspectos próprios da cultura afro-brasileira.

Book Synopsis Geopolitics and Decolonization by : Fernanda Frizzo Bragato
Download or read book Geopolitics and Decolonization written by Fernanda Frizzo Bragato and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gathering researchers from or towards Global South epistemologies, this book enriches the debate on crucial questions for liberation in the South and the improvement of South relations. It argues that coloniality and colonialism are not outdated phenomena of the historical past, but contemporary marks that remain repressed. The dominance of Eurocentric paradigm in the social sciences explains the long-lasting detachment between thinkers and politicians from the Global South, which have been historically presented according to their respective relations with the West (Europe and North America). The dialogue on common problems and challenges to people and societies in the South, largely derived from their colonial past and condition, is still sparing. This book actively promotes and demonstrates the value of intercultural dialogue and debate amongst voices from within the Global South on issues to do with decoloniality, cultural rights, law and politics.

Book Synopsis ¿Hacia un paradigma cosmopolita del derecho? by : Nuria Belloso Martín
Download or read book ¿Hacia un paradigma cosmopolita del derecho? written by Nuria Belloso Martín and published by Dykinson Sl. This book was released on 2008 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El pensamiento pol¡tico de nuestro tiempo muestra un inter‚s renovado hacia las propuestas del cosmopolitismo. POr doquier, surgen aproximaciones te¢ricas de aliento cosmopolita que anuncian la emergencia de estructuras institucionales supraestatales y la definitiva superaci¢n de las angostas lindes del modelo estatal, cuyo agotamiento se muestra incontestable en las coordenadas de la globalizaci¢n. A pesar de ello, el derecho parece seguir quedando al margen, quiz s porque est tan aferrado a los moldes de una ciencia jur¡dica de corte estatalista, que le resulta una ardua labor asumir que la base de sus construcciones te¢ricas y la propia raz¢n de ser de sus conceptualizaciones, su propio paradigma explicativo, en suma, ha entrado en una crisis irreversible. El presente volumen nace del prop¢sito de estudiar de manera articulada los desaf¡os que ha de abordar en base a los tres elementos que componen el subtitulo de este trabajo: el pluralismo jur¡dico, la ciudadan¡a y la resoluci¢n de conflictos.
Book Synopsis Decolonizing Constitutionalism by : Boaventura de Sousa Santos
Download or read book Decolonizing Constitutionalism written by Boaventura de Sousa Santos and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern state, law, and constitution result from a legal canon that (re)produces the abyssal lines dividing the world that is validated from the world whose humanity and epistemological validity are denied. This book aims to contribute to a post-abyssal reflection on law and constitutionalism by considering the structural axes of power that are constitutive of modern law “capitalism, colonialism, and heteropatriarchy” alongside the legal plurality of the world. Is it possible to decolonize, decommodify, and depatriarchalize the constitution? The authors speak from multiple geographies, raise different questions, resort to differentiated theoretical approaches, and reveal varying levels of optimism about the possibilities of transforming constitutions. The readers are confronted with critical perspectives on the Eurocentric legal canon, as well as with the recognition of anti-capitalist, anti-colonial, and anti-patriarchal legal experiences. The horizon of this publication is the expansion of the possibilities of legal and political imagination.
Book Synopsis Law and Society in Latin America by : Cesar Garavito
Download or read book Law and Society in Latin America written by Cesar Garavito and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-04 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, legal thought and practice in Latin America have changed dramatically: new constitutions or constitutional reforms have consolidated democratic rule, fundamental innovations have been introduced in state institutions, social movements have turned to law to advance their causes, and processes of globalization have had profound effects on legal norms and practices. Law and Society in Latin America: A New Map offers the first systematic assessment by leading Latin American socio-legal scholars of the momentous transformations in the region. Through an interdisciplinary and comparative lens, contributors analyze the central advances and dilemmas of contemporary Latin American law. Among them are pioneering jurisprudence and legal mobilization for the fulfillment of socioeconomic rights in a highly unequal region, the rise of multicultural constitutionalism and legal struggles around identity politics, the globalization of legal education and practice, tensions between developmental policies and environmental justice, and the emergence of a regional human rights system. These and other processes have not only radically altered the institutional landscape of the region, but also produced academic and practical innovations that are of global interest and defy conventional accounts of Latin American law inherited from law-and-development studies. Painting a portrait of the new Latin American legal thought for an international audience, Law and Society in Latin America: A New Map will be of particular interest to students of comparative law, legal mobilization, and Latin American politics.
Book Synopsis Frontiers – Law, Theory and Cases by : Dimitri Endrizzi
Download or read book Frontiers – Law, Theory and Cases written by Dimitri Endrizzi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on current frontier-related issues such as humanitarian crises, economic crises, discrimination of migrants in certain countries, different typologies of borders such as land, maritime, air, space, and even cyberspace borders, and environmental protection of water resources at borders. It addresses legal and theoretical considerations and presents empirical cases showing the manifestations of the concept in the real world and its dynamics. Without claiming to exhaust the debate on frontiers, especially given the breadth of the subject and the large number of viewpoints from which the phenomenon can be examined, this book intends to be a helpful source of insights for academics, university students, and others who wish to explore the complex and multifaceted worlds that emerge, particularly in a globalized society, from the interaction between the various actors and scenarios that shape the reality of frontiers.
Book Synopsis Violence Against Women in Legally Plural settings by : Anna Barrera
Download or read book Violence Against Women in Legally Plural settings written by Anna Barrera and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses a growing area of concern for scholars and development practitioners: discriminatory gender norms in legally plural settings. Focusing specifically on indigenous women, this book analyses how they, often in alliance with supporters and allies, have sought to improve their access to justice. Development practitioners working in the field of access to justice have tended to conceive indigenous legal systems as either inherently incompatible with women’s rights or, alternatively, they have emphasised customary law’s advantageous features, such as its greater accessibility, familiarity and effectiveness. Against this background – and based on a comparison of six thus far underexplored initiatives of legal and institutional change in Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia – Anna Barrera Vivero provides a more nuanced, ethnographic, understanding of how women navigate through context-specific constellations of interlegality in their search for justice. In so doing, moreover, her account of ongoing political debates and local struggles for gender justice grounds the elaboration of a comprehensive conceptual framework for understanding the legally plural dynamics involved in the contestation of discriminatory gender norms.

Book Synopsis Citizenship and Disadvantaged Groups in Chile by : Pablo Marshall
Download or read book Citizenship and Disadvantaged Groups in Chile written by Pablo Marshall and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2018-11-27 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Citizenship and Disadvantaged Groups in Chile seeks to overcome an existing void in the literature of Latin American studies addressing the impact of Chile’s post dictatorial legal framework on its historically and structurally disadvantaged groups, concentrating on the various issues and challenges that affect them. Within its eleven chapters it explores the changing social and legal status of LGBTI people, the political disenfranchisement and the social exclusion that affects imprisoned individuals, the harshness of policing on poor and marginalized communities, the deprivation of indigenous peoples of meaningful rights, the vulnerability that affects workers as a consequence of the existing model of labor relations, the disenfranchisement that affects migrants seeking economic opportunities, the denial of citizenship to women involved in the prohibition of abortion, the unsatisfactory regulation of sex work, the prevalence of domestic violence, and the absence of adequate means for disadvantaged groups to institutionalize their political representation. This book offers a distinctive contribution, focusing on a specific country in the Global South that is presently undergoing a process of economic consolidation while facing many of the problems of traditional and unequal Latin American societies.
Book Synopsis The Challenge of Legal Pluralism by : Marc Simon Thomas
Download or read book The Challenge of Legal Pluralism written by Marc Simon Thomas and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the Latin American context, legal pluralism is often depicted as a dichotomy between customary law and national law. In addition, the use of customary law alongside national law is frequently portrayed as a vehicle of resistance. This book argues that, because ordinary Indians are not positively biased in favor of customary law per se, a heterogeneity of legal practices can be observed on a daily basis, which consequently undermines the commonly held view of customary law as a "counter-hegemonic strategy", even if, on other socio-geographical levels, this thinking in terms of resistance holds true. Based on qualitative research, the work analyzes how internal conflicts among indigenous inhabitants of the Ecuadorian highlands are being settled in a situation of formal legal pluralism, and what can be learned from this in terms of Indian-state relationships. It is shown that, on a local level, the phenomenological dimension of legal pluralism can be termed "interlegality." On a macro level, ontological assumptions underscore that legal pluralism is still seen as a dichotomy between customary and national law. Multidisciplinary in nature, the book will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of Legal Pluralism, Cultural Anthropology and Latin American Studies.
Book Synopsis Gender Justice and Legal Pluralities by : Rachel Sieder
Download or read book Gender Justice and Legal Pluralities written by Rachel Sieder and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender Justice and Legal Pluralities: Latin American and African Perspectives examines the relationship between legal pluralities and the prospects for greater gender justice in developing countries. Rather than asking whether legal pluralities are ‘good’ or ‘bad’ for women, the starting point of this volume is that legal pluralities are a social fact. Adopting a more anthropological approach to the issues of gender justice and women’s rights, it analyzes how gendered rights claims are made and responded to within a range of different cultural, social, economic and political contexts. By examining the different ways in which legal norms, instruments and discourses are being used to challenge or reinforce gendered forms of exclusion, contributing authors generate new knowledge about the dynamics at play between the contemporary contexts of legal pluralities and the struggles for gender justice. Any consideration of this relationship must, it is concluded, be located within a broader, historically informed analysis of regimes of governance.

Book Synopsis Multiple InJustices by : R. Aída Hernández Castillo
Download or read book Multiple InJustices written by R. Aída Hernández Castillo and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last two decades have witnessed two political transformations that have deeply affected the lives of the indigenous peoples of Latin America. First, a discourse on indigeneity has emerged that links local struggles across the continent with transnational movements whose core issues are racism and political and cultural rights. Second, recent constitutional reforms in several countries recognize the multicultural character of Latin American countries and the legal pluralism that necessarily follows. Multiple InJustices synthesizes R. Aída Hernández Castillo’s twenty-four years of activism and research among indigenous women’s organizations in Latin America. As both feminist and critical anthropologist, Hernández Castillo analyzes the context of legal pluralism wherein the indigenous women of Mexico, Guatemala, and Colombia struggle for justice. Through ethnographical research in community, state, and international justice, she reflects on the possibilities and limitations of customary, national, and international law for indigenous women. Colonialism, racism, and patriarchal violence have been fundamental elements for the reproduction of capitalism, Hernández Castillo asserts. Only a social policy that offers economic alternatives based on distribution of wealth and a real recognition of cultural and political rights of indigenous peoples can counter the damage of outside forces such as drug cartels on indigenous lands. She concludes that the theories of indigenous women on culture, tradition, and gender equity—as expressed in political documents, event reports, public discourse, and their intellectual writings—are key factors in the decolonization of Latin American feminisms and social justice for all.
Book Synopsis Minority Rights and Social Change by : Kyriaki Topidi
Download or read book Minority Rights and Social Change written by Kyriaki Topidi and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-19 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Minority movements tirelessly continue to engage in the process of social change, trying to promote and enforce minority protection norms and to have their world views, cultural practices, and norms recognized by the state. Through an examination of selected cases, this book problematizes how collective identities are not structurally guaranteed but rather constructed in dialectically interrelated positions and identity layers. The authors show the kind of impact that these processes can, or fail to, have on minority norms, actors, and strategies. Going beyond abstract normative principles, this collection reflects both Global North as well as Global South perspectives and examines through a variety of angles the role that race and ethnicity, culture, or religion play within social mobilization towards social change. The volume offers global insight on actor and strategy attempts to foster social change through the instrumental use and interpretation of minority rights as norms. This book will be of interest to those researching minority rights broadly understood within the disciplines of law, anthropology, sociology, and political science.
Book Synopsis Routledge Handbook of Law and Society in Latin America by : Rachel Sieder
Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Law and Society in Latin America written by Rachel Sieder and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 978 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An understanding of law and its efficacy in Latin America demands concepts distinct from the hegemonic notions of "rule of law" which have dominated debates on law, politics and society, and that recognize the diversity of situations and contexts characterizing the region. The Routledge Handbook of Law and Society in Latin America presents cutting-edge analysis of the central theoretical and applied areas of enquiry in socio-legal studies in the region by leading figures in the study of law and society from Latin America, North America and Europe. Contributors argue that scholarship about Latin America has made vital contributions to longstanding and emerging theoretical and methodological debates on the relationship between law and society. Key topics examined include: The gap between law-on-the-books and law in action The implications of legal pluralism and legal globalization The legacies of experiences of transitional justice Emerging forms of socio-legal and political mobilization Debates concerning the relationship between the legal and the illegal. The Routledge Handbook of Law and Society in Latin America sets out new research agendas for cross-disciplinary socio-legal studies and will be of interest to those studying law, sociology of law, comparative Latin American politics, legal anthropology and development studies.
