Este es el segundo libro de una trilogía dedicada a los procesos agroecológicos, al reconocimiento de la agricultura campesina familiar y comunitaria y a las formas dignas de coexistencia que desde allí se tejen en Colombia. Procura aportar desde un enfoque socio político una categoría social que enriquece de manera complementaria la invitación que la agroecología hace para entender los procesos ecosistémicos y la importancia de revalorizar los saberes y haceres de las comunidades locales para transformar su realidad. Gustavo Wilches-Chaux insiste en que este es un libro urgente en estos tiempos de grandes exigencias donde el cuidado mutuo se convierte en una prioridad y el llamado nos convoca a reexistir con dignidad y armonía. En esta ocasión la Cátedra Unesco en Desarrollo Sostenible presenta el trabajo articulado entre el Instituto de Estudios Ambientales IDEA de la Universidad Nacional y la Universidad del Rosario, el cual enaltece estas experiencias agroecológicas como estrategias ejemplarizantes de conectividad y transformación social en el país.

Women and Social Movements in Latin America

Autor: Lynn Stephen

Número de Páginas: 353

Women's grassroots activism in Latin America combines a commitment to basic survival for women and their children with a challenge to women's subordination to men. Women activists insist that issues such as rape, battering, and reproductive control cannot be divorced from women's concerns about housing, food, land, and medical care. This innovative, comparative study explores six cases of women's grassroots activism in Mexico, El Salvador, Brazil, and Chile. Lynn Stephen communicates the ideas, experiences, and perceptions of women who participate in collective action, while she explains the structural conditions and ideological discourses that set the context within which women act and interpret their experiences. She includes revealing interviews with activists, detailed histories of organizations and movements, and a theoretical discussion of gender, collective identity, and feminist anthropology and methods.

Radical Women in Latin America

Autor: Victoria González-rivera , Karen Kampwirth

Número de Páginas: 356

The rationale stated for studying radical women of Latin America is first to throw light on the development of dictatorship and authoritarianism, second to transcend the stereotype of inherently violent men and inherently peaceful women, and finally to demonstrate that there is no automatic sisterhood among women even of the same class and ethnicity. Brief chronologies of three countries each in Central and South America open the two sections. The contributors are historians and political scientists primarily from the US.

Promoting Democracy

Autor: Manal A. Jamal

Número de Páginas: 344

How Western donor assistance can both help and undermine democracy in different parts of the world Democracy promotion is a central pillar of the foreign policy of many states, but the results are often disappointing. In Promoting Democracy, Manal A. Jamal examines why these efforts succeed in some countries, but fail in others. A former journalist and researcher in the Palestinian territories, she offers an up-close perspective of the ways in which Western donor funding has, on one hand, undermined political participation in cases such as the Palestinian territories, and, on the other hand, succeeded in bolstering political engagement in cases such as El Salvador. Based on five fieldwork trips and over 150 interviews with grassroots activists, political leaders, and directors and program officers in donor agencies and NGOs, Jamal brings into focus an often-overlooked perspective: the experiences of those directly affected by this assistance. Promoting Democracy makes an important and timely argument about how political settlements ultimately shape democracy promotion efforts, and what political choices Western state sponsored donors can make to maximize successful outcomes in...

Feminism and the Legacy of Revolution

Autor: Karen Kampwirth

Número de Páginas: 297

In many Latin American countries, guerrilla struggle and feminism have been linked in surprising ways. Women were mobilized by the thousands to promote revolutionary agendas that had little to do with increasing gender equality. They ended up creating a uniquely Latin American version of feminism that combined revolutionary goals of economic equality and social justice with typically feminist aims of equality, nonviolence, and reproductive rights. Drawing on more than two hundred interviews with women in Nicaragua, El Salvador, and the Mexican state of Chiapas, Karen Kampwirth tells the story of how the guerrilla wars led to the rise of feminism, why certain women became feminists, and what sorts of feminist movements they built. Feminism and the Legacy of Revolution: Nicaragua, El Salvador, Chiapas explores how the violent politics of guerrilla struggle could be related to the peaceful politics of feminism. It considers the gains, losses, and internal conflicts within revolutionary women’s organizations. Feminism and the Legacy of Revolution challenges old assumptions regarding revolutionary movements and the legacy of those movements for the politics of daily life. It will...

Urban Rituals in Sacred Landscapes in Hellenistic Asia Minor

Autor: Christina G. Williamson

Número de Páginas: 537

In Urban Rituals in Sacred Landscapes in Hellenistic Asia Minor, Christina G. Williamson examines the phenomenon of monumental sanctuaries in the countryside of Asia Minor that accompanied the second rise of the Greek city-state in the Hellenistic period. Moving beyond monolithic categories, Williamson provides a transdisciplinary frame of analysis that takes into account the complex local histories, landscapes, material culture, and social and political dynamics of such shrines in their transition towards becoming prestigious civic sanctuaries. This frame of analysis is applied to four case studies: the sanctuaries of Zeus Labraundos, Sinuri, Hekate at Lagina, and Zeus Panamaros. All in Karia, these well-documented shrines offer valuable insights for understanding religious strategies adopted by emerging cities as they sought to establish their position in the expanding world.

AN8 - El Libro de los Ochos

Autor: Tomás Morales Y Durán

Número de Páginas: 211

El octavo libro del Aṅguttara Nikāya, la Colección de los Discursos Numerados del Buddha, recoge 627 suttas o discursos cuya temática se centra en grupos de ocho tópicos, aunque no siempre. Este libro contiene una notable acumulación de suttas importantes, algunos de ellos únicos, lo que le hace imprescindible, en contraste con la anodina falta de interés de los libros anteriores de esta Colección Numérica. Aun así, no se entiende que al final del libro haya suttas que repiten otros anteriores con diferencias inapreciables. Este libro contiene un afamado sutta completamente falso: AN 8.51 con Gotami. Contiene la triste historia de un Buddha huérfano amamantado por su tía que sirve para que su misógino autor interponga límites a las mujeres. En la trama aparece, cómo no, el criado Ānanda manipulando al Buddha para que acepte la ordenación de mujeres. Tiene todos los componentes de los suttas falsos. Por ejemplo, aparece un Ānanda sobrevalorado, una historia que contradice a todos los suttas que hablan de la renuncia del bodhisatta, cuando la madre y el padre le despiden con ojos llorosos. O en esta misma colección, en AN 8.70 Terremotos, donde el Mara le...
