Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tres momentos marcan la biografía de este vertiginoso ensamblaje. El primero es el despojo llevado a cabo durante la trata atlántico entre los siglos XV y XIX, cuando hombres y mujeres originarios de África son transformados en hombres-objetos, hombres-mercancías y hombres-monedas de cambio. Prisioneros en el calabozo de las apariencias, a partir de ese instante pasan a pertenecer a otros. Víctimas de un trato hostil, pierden su nombre y su lengua; continúan siendo sujetos activos, pese a que su vida y su trabajo pertenecen a aquellos con quienes están condenados a vivir sin poder entablar relaciones humanas. El segundo momento corresponde al nacimiento de la escritura y comienza hacia finales del siglo XVIII cuando, a través de sus propias huellas, los Negros, estos seres-cooptados-por-otros, comienzan a articular un lenguaje propio y son capaces de reivindicarse como sujetos plenos en el mundo viviente. Marcado por innumerables revueltas de esclavos y la independencia de Haití en 1804, los combates por la abolición de la trata, las descolonizaciones africanas y las luchas por los derechos civiles en los Estados Unidos, este período se completa con el desmantelamiento del apartheid durante los años finales del siglo XX. El tercer momento, a comienzos del siglo XXI, es el de la expansión planetaria de los mercados, la privatización del mundo bajo la égida del neoliberalismo y la imbricación creciente entre la economía financiera, el complejo post-imperial y las tecnologías electrónicas y digitales. Por primera vez en la historia de la humanidad, la palabra Negro no remite solamente a la condición que se les impuso a las personas de origen africano durante el primer capitalismo (depredaciones de distinta índole, desposesión de todo poder de autodeterminación y, sobre todo, del futuro y del tiempo, esas dos matrices de lo posible). Es esta nueva característica fungible, esta solubilidad, su institucionalización en tanto que nueva norma de existencia y su propagación al resto del planeta, lo que llamamos el devenir-negro del mundo.
Download or read book AfroLatinas and LatiNegras written by Rosita Scerbo and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-11-28 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AfroLatinas as a subject of scholarship are woefully underrepresented, and this edited volume, AfroLatinas and LatiNegras: Culture, Identity, and Struggle from an Intersectional Perspective, offers an important and timely intervention. The consistent attention to AfroLatinas’ agency across all the chapters is empowering and attentive to the difficult circumstances of asserting that agency, and to the tremendous breadth of what agency can look like. The authors argue for the analytical power of the concept of Intersectionality while considering the hegemonic pressures on AfroLatinidad and the essentializing moves that an intersectional approach enables: evading, overthrowing, and resisting systems of power. Through the study of multiple cultural expressions of Blackness, such as photography, colonial inquisition records, dance, music, fiction, non-fiction, poetic memoir, and religious expression, and throughout different region of the Americas, the chapter contributors of this book consider the relationship that social and historical processes, such as sovereignty and colonialism, have on narrative and cultural production. Rosita Scerbo, Concetta Bondi, and the contributors acknowledge that racial and gender equity cannot exist without Intersectionality, and the inclusion of activist voices broadens this volume's reach and links theory to praxis.

Download or read book Colonialist Gazes and Counternarratives of Blackness written by Ana León-Távora and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-24 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the growing field of Afropean Studies, this interdisciplinary and intermedial collection of essays proposes a dialogue on Afro-Spanishness that is not exclusively tied to immigration and that understands Blackness as a non-essentialist, heterogeneous and diasporic concept. Studying a variety of twentieth- and twenty-first-century cultural products, some essays explore the resilience of the colonialist paradigms and the circulation of racial ideologies and colonial memories that promote national narratives of whitening. Others focus on Black self-representation and examine how Afro-Spanish authors, artists, and activists destabilize colonial gazes and constructions of national identity, propose decolonial views of Spain and Europe’s literature and history, articulate Afro-Diasporic knowledges, and envision Afro-descendance as an empowering tool.
Download or read book Inside the Mathematics Class written by Uwe Gellert and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-26 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a forward–looking intersection of Sociological perspectives on mathematics classrooms and socio-political perspectives on mathematics education. The first perspective has generated a substantial body of knowledge in the mathematics education. Interactionist research has deepened our understanding of interaction processes, socio-mathematical norms and the negotiation of meaning, generating a ‘micro-sociology’ or a ‘micro-ethnography’ of the mathematics classroom. More recently, socio-political perspectives on mathematics education interrelate educational practices in mathematics with macro-social issues of social equity, class, and race and with the policies that regulate institutionalized mathematics education. This book documents, strings together and juxtaposes research that uses ethnographical classroom data to explain, on the one hand, how socio-political issues play out in the mathematics class. On the other hand, it illuminates how class, race etc. affect the micro-sociology of the mathematics classroom. The volume advances the knowledge in the field by providing an empirical grounding of socio-political research on mathematics education, and it extends the frame in which mathematical classroom cultures are conceived.
Download or read book Beyond Mestizaje written by Tania Islas Weinstein and published by Amherst College Press. This book was released on 2024-04-30 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Racism has historically been a taboo topic in Mexico. This is largely due to the nationalist project of mestizaje which contends that because all Mexicans are racially mixed, race is not a salient political issue. In recent years, however, race and racism have become important topics of debate in the country’s public sphere and academia. This book introduces readers to a sample of these diverse and sometimes conflicting views that also intersect with discussions of class. The activists and scholars included in the volume come from fields such as anthropology, linguistics, history, sociology, and political science. Through these diverse epistemological frameworks, the authors show how people in contemporary Mexico interpret the world in racial terms and denounce racism.
Download or read book Neoliberalism and Unequal Development written by Roser Manzanera-Ruiz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1970s, neoliberalism has evolved from ideology to political programme, from political programme to public policy, and from public policy to constitutional rule. This process of change has been made possible through the endorsement of an uncritical, a-historical, and apolitical economic theory that legitimized technocratic despotism, financial deregulation, precarious labour, and constitutional-political emptying. This book examines critical perspectives in mainstream neoliberal development analysis. It examines the neoliberal experiment as a global historical construct through the cases of Africa, Latin America, and Europe. The analysis begins in 1980 with the Structural Adjustment Plans in Latin America and Africa, followed in 1990 by Maastricht in the case of Europe and the euphoric shift that took place, typified by the Africa Rising narrative, which attempts to promote the idea of an economically emerging continent. It also considers the weakness of the state resulting from neo-liberal austerity and fiscal stabilization policies, which have amplified the inability to collectively deal with the social, economic, and political impact of the COVID-19 crisis. One of the key features of the book is the extensive comparative analysis between regions, using case studies, including examples from African countries. The authors connect the different regional perspectives, included in the book, in a clear and coherent way, such that it will appeal to students and scholars interested in the social, economic, and political outcomes of globalization and will also be of interest to official development agencies and third sector organizations in Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa and Europe.
Download or read book Black Feminist Constellations written by Christen A. Smith and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2023-12-05 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of essays, interviews, and conversations by and between scholars, activists, and artists from Latin America and the Caribbean that paints a portrait of Black women's experiences across the region. Black women in Latin America and the Caribbean suffer a triple erasure: as Black people, as women, and as non-English speakers in a global environment dominated by the Anglophone North. Black Feminist Constellations is a passionate and necessary corrective. Focused on and written by Black women of the southern Americas, the original works composing this volume make legible the epistemologies that sustain radical scholarship, art, and political organizing by Black women everywhere. In essays, poems, and dialogues, the writers in Black Feminist Constellations reimagine liberation from the perspectives of radical South American and Caribbean Black women thinkers. The volume’s methodologically innovative approach reflects how Black women come together to theorize the world and challenges the notion that the university is the only site where knowledge can emerge. A major work of intellectual history, Black Feminist Constellations amplifies rarely heard voices, centers the uncanonized, and celebrates the overlooked work of Black women.

This book was released on 2019-06-13 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capitalism in its modern form has become universal and has a presence in practically every country in the world, including those which once called themselves Communist.

Download or read book Planetary Mine written by Martín Arboleda and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planetary Mine rethinks the politics and territoriality of resource extraction, especially as the mining industry becomes reorganized in the form of logistical networks, and East Asian economies emerge as the new pivot of the capitalist world-system. Through an exploration of the ways in which mines in the Atacama Desert of Chile-the driest in the world-have become intermingled with an expanding constellation of megacities, ports, banks, and factories across East Asia, the book rethinks uneven geographical development in the era of supply chain capitalism. Arguing that extraction entails much more than the mere spatiality of mine shafts and pits, Planetary Mine points towards the expanding webs of infrastructure, of labor, of finance, and of struggle, that drive resource-based industries in the twenty-first century.
Download or read book The Right and the Nation written by Toni Morant i Ariño and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-12 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the influence of right-wing political cultures (including conservatism, political Catholicism, reactionary nationalism and fascism) on nation-building processes and the creation of national identities in modern times. The chapters extend the focus of analysis across the different cultures and movements of the Right, their broad geographical spread, as well as cultural factors. Adopting a transnational perspective, this volume highlights the significance of a series of processes – such as the growth of nationalist imaginaries and political cultures – that extended beyond national boundaries and were often articulated via cross-border dynamics. Special attention is paid to the political cultures and transnational networks of the Right in Europe and Latin America. Case studies including countries such as Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, Brazil and Argentina provide the reader with a broad overview of the circulation of right-wing and conservative thinking. Through an innovative approach, this volume offers scholars, students and the interested reader a valuable historical perspective to understand the development and expansion of right-wing nationalist and authoritarian positions.

Download or read book Criminalization of Activism written by Valeria Vegh Weis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-22 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Criminalization of Activism draws on a multiplicity of perspectives and case studies from the Global South and the Global North to show how protest has been subject to processes of criminalization over time. Contributors include scholars and activists from different disciplinary backgrounds, with a balance between authors from the Global North and the Global South. An introduction frames the topic within critical criminology, while also highlighting the possible disciplinary approaches and definitions of criminalization of resistance/activism. The editor also investigates the particularities of the current times in comparison to dynamics of criminalization in prior stages of capitalism. Bringing together a range of criminalization themes into a single volume, compromising historical criminology, Indigenous studies, gender studies, critical criminology, southern criminology and green criminology, it will be of great interest to scholars and students of criminology, social movement theory and social sciences, as well as those involved in activism and with a stand against criminalization.

Download or read book Cr tica da Raz o Negra written by Achille Mbembe and published by n-1 edições. This book was released on 2020-06-25 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De todos os humanos, o negro é o único cuja carne foi convertida em mercadoria. Aliás, negro e raça têm sido sinônimos no imaginário das sociedades europeias. Desde o século XVIII, constituíram ambos o subsolo inconfesso e muitas vezes negado a partir do qual se difundiu o projeto moderno de conhecimento - e também de governo. Será possível que a relegação da Europa à categoria de mera província do mundo acarretará a extinção do racismo, com a dissolução de um de seus mais cruciais significantes, o negro? Ou, pelo contrário, uma vez desmantelada essa figura histórica, todos nós nos tornaremos os negros do novo racismo fabricado em escala global pelas políticas neoliberais e securitárias, pelas novas guerras de ocupação e predação e pelas práticas de zoneamento? Neste ensaio ao mesmo tempo erudito e iconoclasta, Achille Mbembe empreende uma reflexão crítica indispensável para responder à principal questão sobre o mundo contemporâneo: como pensar a diferença e a vida, o semelhante e o dessemelhante?
Download or read book Cr tica de la raz n cr tica written by Jonathan Ramos and published by Sekotia. This book was released on 2023-09-27 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonathan Ramos, a través de esta obra, ofrece la información necesaria para conocer y comprender el entramado político, económico y social que se ha gestado desde la antigüedad hasta nuestros días, conformado por un pensamiento único y débil. Ofrece una visión serena y explica que “la muerte de Dios”, más bien provocó la muerte del hombre al aniquilar conceptos como “dignidad humana” para ser solo consumidor de placeres y bienes aparentes, con la consecuente pérdida del sentido de la vida, la belleza y la bondad. ¿Por qué “la diosa razón” no es suficiente para mantener vivo al ser humano? ¿Qué sucedió al trasladar la teología luterana a la vida política y social? El texto, minuciosamente elaborado, deja claro cómo han influido a lo largo del tiempo, las críticas y propuestas de Marx y Nietzsche en el comportamiento humano, pero también cómo sus escritos han sido manipulados en la práctica y trasladados a circunstancias ajenas a las cuestiones concretas que les inspiraron en su época. También señala la influencia de Hobbes y Hegel; la ligereza con la que se ha dado asentimiento a autores como Foucault y Derrida; el regreso de los sofistas y los estragos de los imperialismos de toda índole, sean religión-estado o autoritarismos socialistas y liberales. Concluye con lo que podemos considerar consecuencias del Progresismo: Posthumanismo, Tranhumanismo, neo-nihilismo, y neo-cinismo. Cataloga los orígenes de las guerras, las migraciones, la trata de personas, la pobreza extrema, las ideologías desfragmentadoras como parte de la crisis decadente de las últimas décadas. Frente a este catálogo de deconstrucción social, Ramos ahonda en los fundamentos metafísicos de la antropología filosófica para defender la dignidad humana, el orden como custodio del ser ontológico de la persona y la verdad para el diálogo social, entre otros aspectos. Es una obra que pone en diálogo a filósofos de todos los tiempos a los enfrenta con situaciones actuales del siglo XXI, como economía, política, sociología, antropología, medicina, investigación científica, neurociencias, tecnología, ciberespacio, centrando la trascendencia con perspectiva de comunidad. “Crítica de la razón crítica”, debe ser leída para comprender las causas que generan la incertidumbre de hoy, es decir, el desconcierto existencialista, ya sea global o local. «El progresismo es hoy la ideología oficial del sistema-mundo. El progresismo es obsolescencia programada; es moda, industria cultural y farándula. De ahí que hoy podamos construir nuestro propio mundo, e incluso aquello que somos, simplemente comprando». Del prólogo de Agustín Laje
