Book excerpt: La precaria gestión de la diferencia cultural genera fracturas que alientan la discriminación, el racismo y la xenofobia. Todas ellas tienen como eje común un sentimiento de superioridad, identidad y pertenencia concebido en clave de enfrentamiento e incompatibilidad que dificulta las relaciones interculturales. En tiempos de incertidumbre económica y desencuentro ético, cuando determinados colectivos se sienten amenazados, surgen conflictos identitarios. Con demasiada frecuencia, estos desafíos se afrontan con estereotipos y el menosprecio de determinadas culturas, fomentando la fragmentación en lugar de la cohesión social.Frente a los múltiples tipos de discriminación que se dan en las sociedades multiculturales, es necesario pensar en las exigencias de la lógica del reconocimiento que permite poner el énfasis en la negociación de los intereses contrapuestos desde la observancia de los derechos humanos. Con la finalidad de fomentar un debate e intercambio crítico sobre estas cuestiones, en el Instituto de Derechos Humanos de la Universitat de València, desde el proyecto Multihuri I+D+i (2015-65840-R MICINN/FEDER) titulado «Diversidad y convivencia: los derechos humanos como guía de acción», se ha venido trabajando para identificar y abordar los obstáculos a la convivencia intercultural en el contexto actual. Este libro, que recoge una parte del trabajo realizado en dicho proyecto, surge desde el convencimiento de que, para evitar un retroceso civilizatorio basado en la desigualdad, es imprescindible reflexionar sobre cómo es posible construir un modelo de convivencia pacífica en sociedades plurales y diversas, es decir, es necesario combatir la discriminación y el racismo para fomentar relaciones interculturales activas y positivas.

Download or read book Handbook of Research on Promoting Social Justice for Immigrants and Refugees Through Active Citizenship and Intercultural Education written by Barreto, Isabel María Gómez and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-06-11 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Migration movements have been a constant in the societies of the past, as well as in postmodern society. However, in the past ten years, the increase in political, economic, and religious conflict amongst nations; the increase of the poverty index; and many and various natural disasters have duplicated the forced displacement of millions of people across the seven continents of the planet. This situation brings important challenges in terms of the vulnerability, inequity, and discrimination that certain peoples suffer. Professionals from the fields of the social sciences, education, psychology, and international law share the fact that education represents an opportunity for children and young migrants to become members with full rights in the societies they arrive in. Empirical studies show that that the implementation of the right to education for migrants presents some challenges and dilemmas to the governments of host countries and more specifically to the education centers, NGOs, universities, and the professionals working in them, hence the need for more research on these issues of immigration, refugees, social justice, and intercultural education. The Handbook of Research on Promoting Social Justice for Immigrants and Refugees Through Active Citizenship and Intercultural Education provides visibility to issues such as the increase in migration and displacement and the difficulties in political agreements, educational contexts, and in cultural issues, stigmatization, vulnerability, social exclusion, racism, and hatred amongst host communities. This book gives possible solutions to this current complex situation and helps foster and promote sensitivity, perspective, and critical thinking for a respectful and tolerant coexistence and promotion of equity and social justice. The chapters promote cultural diversity and inclusion in classrooms by offering knowledge, strategies, and research on organizational development for educational institutions and multicultural environments. This book is essential for administrators, policymakers, leaders, teachers, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the promotion of social justice in education for immigrants and refugees.
Download or read book Del racismo a la interculturalidad written by Alfonso García Martínez and published by Narcea Ediciones. This book was released on 1998-01-23 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desde 1971, año denominado de Acción contra el Racismo y la Discriminación Racial por la ONU, hasta 1997, declarado Año Europeo contra el Racismo y la Xenofobia, la discriminación racial no ha ido disminuyendo, sino que, debido a múltiples causas económicas, políticas, sociales y religiosas, ha aumentado su intensidad, la variedad de sus expresiones y los terribles fenómenos a que da lugar. ¿Qué puede aportar la educación para contrarrestar u oponerse a este fenómeno? ¿Cómo puede promover la transformación social? La escuela debe ser una plataforma para el desarrollo de la interculturalidad, fomentando estrategias de aprendizaje que enseñen a los ciudadanos a leer el mundo desde diversas perspectivas, evitando el dogmatismo y la intolerancia. La Educación Intercultural se encarga de proponer un tipo de práctica escolar, en la que los educandos trabajan por mejorar las posibilidades reales de convivencia y de justicia social.
Download or read book Histories of Anthropology written by Gabriella D'Agostino and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-22 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume presents, for the first time, a history of anthropology regarding not only the well-known European and American traditions, but also lesser-known traditions, extending its scope beyond the Western world. It focuses on the results of these traditions in the present. Taking into account the distinction between empire-building and nation-building anthropology, introduced by G. Stocking and taken up by U. Hannerz, the book investigates different histories of anthropology, especially in ex-colonial and marginal contexts. It highlights how the hegemonic anthropologies have been accepted and assimilated in local contexts, which approaches have been privileged by institutions and academies in different locations, how the anthropological approach has been modelled and adapted according to specific knowledge requirements related to the cultural features of different areas, and which schools emerge as the most consolidated today. Each chapter presents a “cultural history” of one of the historical-cultural and geo-political contexts that influenced and produced the specific disciplinary traditions. The chapters highlight the local contributions to the discipline, the influences that the world centres have on the peripheries, but also the ways in which the peripheries have “learned from the centres” in order to re-elaborate meaningful or otherwise recognisable disciplinary lines.

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 Bolivian Labor Immigrants Experiences in Argentina written by Cynthia Pizarro and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bolivian Labor Immigrants' Experiences in Argentina examines the projects, trajectories, and everyday lives of Bolivian immigrants. It gathers research results of specialists who have studied the various ways in which these immigrants participate in certain labor markets in different urban and rural areas of Argentina. It covers many aspects, including future prospects, and the influence of the juxtaposition of various inequalities. It highlights the ways in which xenophobic mechanisms naturalize harsh working and living conditions. The volume opens new horizons regarding novel migratory territories recently built by Bolivian laborers in Argentina. It collects the results of longstanding anthropology studies in different Provinces: Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Mendoza, Río Negro, Salta, and Tierra del Fuego. It refers to the trajectories of some Bolivians who had previously migrated to Spain and returned to Argentina after the European crisis in 2008. It also compares the south-south labor migration from Bolivia to Argentina, with the north-north one from Tajikistan to the Russian Federation. Bolivian Labor Immigrants' Experiences in Argentina highlights key issues regarding the structural factors that pattern the integration of Bolivian immigrants in certain labor markets segmented by inequalities based on class, gender, “ethny-race”, nationality, and migratory and legal status. It provides ethnographic insights about the various ways in which Bolivian immigrants experience harsh living and working conditions. Finally, it helps to understand that these men and women are capable of dealing with oppressive situations and of performing particular ways of resistance. The focus on labor migrants does not lead to a reductionist economic analysis of their trajectories, experiences, and prospects for the future. On the contrary, they are studied from a holistic anthropological approach, considering that migrants make sense of their territorial mobility from complex points of view anchored in their life experiences. Therefore, contributors consider that migration is a process that involves economic, social, cultural, and political dimensions
Download or read book Inventing Indigenism written by Natalia Majluf and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2021-12-21 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2023 ALAA Book Award, Association for Latin American Art/Arvey Foundation A fascinating account of the modern reinvention of the image of the Indian in nineteenth-century literature and visual culture, seen through the work of Peruvian painter Francisco Laso. One of the outstanding painters of the nineteenth century, Francisco Laso (1823–1869) set out to give visual form to modern Peru. His solemn and still paintings of indigenous subjects were part of a larger project, spurred by writers and intellectuals actively crafting a nation in the aftermath of independence from Spain. In this book, at once an innovative account of modern indigenism and the first major monograph on Laso, Natalia Majluf explores the rise of the image of the Indian in literature and visual culture. Reading Laso’s works through a broad range of sources, Majluf traces a decisive break in a long history of representations of indigenous peoples that began with the Spanish conquest. She ties this transformation to the modern concept of culture, which redefined both the artistic field and the notion of indigeneity. As an abstraction produced through indigenist discourse, an icon of authenticity, and a densely racialized cultural construct, the Indian would emerge as a central symbol of modern Andean nationalisms. Inventing Indigenism brings the work and influence of this extraordinary painter to the forefront as it offers a broad perspective on the dynamics of art and visual culture in nineteenth-century Latin America.
Download or read book Mexican Voices of the Border Region written by Laura Velasco Ortiz and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-18 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day, 40,000 commuters cross the U.S. Mexico border at Tijuana San Diego to go to work. Untold numbers cross illegally. Since NAFTA was signed into law, the border has become a greater obstacle for people moving between countries. Transnational powers have exerted greater control over the flow of goods, services, information, and people. Mexican Voices of the Border Region examines the flow of people, commercial traffic, and the development of relationships across this border. Through first-person narratives, Laura Velasco Ortiz and Oscar F. Contreras show that since NAFTA, Tijuana has become a dynamic and significant place for both nations in terms of jobs and residents. The authors emphasize that the border itself has different meanings whether one crosses it frequently or not at all. The interviews probe into matters of race, class, gender, ethnicity, place, violence, and political economy as well as the individual's sense of agency.
