Download or read book Barrio Democracy in Latin America written by Eduardo Canel and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transition to democracy underway in Latin America since the 1980s has recently witnessed a resurgence of interest in experimenting with new forms of local governance emphasizing more participation by ordinary citizens. The hope is both to foster the spread of democracy and to improve equity in the distribution of resources. While participatory budgeting has been a favorite topic of many scholars studying this new phenomenon, there are many other types of ongoing experiments. In Barrio Democracy in Latin America, Eduardo Canel focuses our attention on the innovative participatory programs launched by the leftist government in Montevideo, Uruguay, in the early 1990s. Based on his extensive ethnographic fieldwork, Canel examines how local activists in three low-income neighborhoods in that city dealt with the opportunities and challenges of implementing democratic practices and building better relationships with sympathetic city officials.

Download or read book Engendering Forced Migration written by Doreen Indra and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 1998-12-01 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the turn of the new millenium, war, political oppression, desperate poverty, environmental degradation and disasters, and economic underdevelopment are sharply increasing the ranks of the world's twenty million forced migrants. In this volume, eighteen scholars provide a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary look beyond the statistics at the experiences of the women, men, girls, and boys who comprise this global flow, and at the highly gendered forces that frame and affect them. In theorizing gender and forced migration, these authors present a set of descriptively rich, gendered case studies drawn from around the world on topics ranging from international human rights, to the culture of aid, to the complex ways in which women and men envision displacement and resettlement.

Download or read book Mafalda written by Isabella Cosse and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2019-12-23 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its creation in 1964, readers from all over the world have loved the comic Mafalda, primarily because of the sharp wit and rebellious nature of its title character—a four-year-old girl who is wise beyond her years. Through Mafalda, Argentine cartoonist Joaquín Salvador Lavado explores complex questions about class identity, modernization, and state violence. In Mafalda: A Social and Political History of Latin America's Global Comic—first published in Argentina in 2014 and appearing here in English for the first time—Isabella Cosse analyzes the comic's vast appeal across multiple generations. From Mafalda breaking the fourth wall to speak directly to readers to express her opposition to the 1966 Argentine coup, to Spanish students' protest signs bearing her face, to the comic's cult status in Korea, Cosse provides insights into the cartoon's production, circulation, and incorporation into social and political conversations. Analyzing how Mafalda reflects generational conflicts, gender, modernization, the Cold War, authoritarianism, neoliberalism, and much more, Cosse demonstrates the unexpected power of humor to shape revolution and resistance.
Download or read book Repression Exile and Democracy written by Saúl Sosnowski and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Repression, Exile, and Democracy, translated from the Spanish, is the first work to examine the impact of dictatorship on Uruguyan culture. Some of Uruguay's best-known poets, writers of fiction, playwrights, literary critics and social scientists participate in this multidisciplinary study, analyzing how varying cultural expressions have been affected by conditions of censorship, exile and "insilio" (internal exile), torture, and death. The first section provides a context for the volume, with its analyses of the historical, political, and social aspects of the Uruguayan experience. The following chapters explore various aspects of cultural production, including personal experiences of exile and imprisonment, popular music, censorship, literary criticism, return from exile, and the role that culture plays in redemocratization. This book's appeal extends well beyond the study of Uruguay to scholars and students of the history and culture of other Latin American nations, as well as to fields of comparative literature and politics in general.

Download or read book Development Diaspora written by Wenona Mary Giles and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extrait de l'introduction : "The survival strategies and resilience of refugee women are vital to substenance and social change in their households, workplaces and communities. As we write this introduction, Rwandese women and men and their families are becoming refugees in huge numbers, just as in the past, people from Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Bosnia, Sudan, Mozambique ..., have moved into exile. News reports tell of the devastating circumstances that often await refugees : makeshift camps devoid of water, food, health care and other basic human needs, in addition to threats to security. The forced displacement of millions of people across the world indicates that to remain safely in one's home community and country is no longer a fundamental human right. It is difficult to step back from devastating images of refugees to see these women as individuals ... And it is equally difficult to distance oneself by theoretical and abstract analysis. But feminist praxis must always be informed by theory, and theory by praixs. In this book we work toward change by examining the position of various groups of refugee women - in history and theory, cross-culturally and across disciplines and professions."

Download or read book After Exile written by Amy K. Kaminsky and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can an exiled writer ever really go home again? What of the writers of Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile, whose status as exiles in the 1970s and 1980s largely defined their identities and subject matter? After Exile takes a critical look at these writers, at the effect of exile on their work, and at the complexities of homecoming -- a fraught possibility when democracy was restored to each of these countries. Both famous and lesser known writers people this story of dislocation and relocation, among them Jose Donoso, Ana Vasquez, Luisa Valenzuela, Cristina Peri Rossi, and Mario Benedetti. In their work -- and their predicament -- Amy K. Kaminsky considers the representation of both physical uprootedness and national identity -- or, more precisely, an individual's identity as a national subject. Here, national identity is not the double abstraction of "identity" and "nation, " but a person's sense of being and belonging that derives from memories and experiences of a particular place. Because language is crucial to this connection, Kaminsky explores the linguistic isolation, miscommunication, and multilingualism that mark late-exile and post-exile writing. She also examines how gender difference affects the themes and rhetoric of exile -- how, for example, traditional projections of femininity, such as the idea of a "mother country, " are used to allegorize exile. Describing exile as a process -- sometimes of acculturation, sometimes of alienation -- this work fosters a new understanding of how writers live and work in relation to space and place, particularly the place called home.
Download or read book Mental Health and Exile written by Liliana Munoz and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This seminar was divided into three parts. Part One describes the psychopathology of exile, from personality disorders to grief and loneliness, and establishes the general features of common experience which L. Munoz, in her paper, likens to bereavement. The cherished image of the country (the beloved), she says, is an obstacle to adjustment. Part Two deals with individual and collective therapy. A paper presented by the Latin American Social Work Collective (COLAT), summarizes the work of social work collectives in Belgium which integrate the technical experience of mental health workers with the organization and enthusiasm of the community. Part Three concerns children. The paper by the Comité inter-mouvement auprès des évacués (CIMADE), Paris, describes a common reaction to the refugee experience by children who later react by withdrawing from emotional conflict. Another paper, by Ana Vasquez, examines the development of Latin American adolescents and concludes that they generally integrate well. The final paper by Fundación de Ayuda Social de las Iglesias Cristianas (FASIC), presents a socio-psychological study of twenty-five families who returned to their own countries after years of absence.
