Pensando como um Negro: Ensaio de Hermenêutica Jurídica
A Editora Contracorrente apresenta a segunda edição do aclamado livro "Pensando como um Negro: Ensaio de Hermenêutica Jurídica". Trata-se uma obra bastante peculiar sobre interpretação constitucional. Ela se afasta das premissas da neutralidade e da objetividade para defender uma perspectiva hermenêutica politicamente engajada. Essa proposta encontra fundamento no pressuposto de que cabe ao operador do direitono atual paradigma constitucional, interpretar normas legais a partir dos propósitos estabelecidos pela nossa ordem constitucional, notoriamente o compromisso com a construção de uma sociedade igualitária. Ao longo do ensaio, o autor defende a tese segundo a qual o processo d...
Beyond Straight and Gay Marriage
Part of the Queer Ideas series, edited by Michael Bronski QUEER IDEAS-a new series of LGBT hardcovers that address important intellectual questions facing the movement. The debate over marriage equality for same-sex couples rages across the country. Beyond (Straight and Gay) Marriage boldly moves the discussion forward by focusing on the larger, more fundamental issue of marriage and the law. The root problem, asserts law professor and LGBT rights activist Nancy Polikoff, is that marriage is a bright dividing line between those relationships that legally matter and those that don't. A woman married to a man for nine months is entitled to Social Security survivor's benefits when he dies; a wo...
Constitutionalism in Context
A broad-ranging, interdisciplinary, and context-rich exploration of the fields of constitutional studies and comparative constitutional law for research and teaching.
The Global South and Comparative Constitutional Law
This volume makes a timely intervention into a field which is marked by a shift from unipolar to multipolar order and a pluralization of constitutional law. It addresses the theoretical and epistemic foundations of Southern constitutionalism and discusses its distinctive themes, such as transformative constitutionalism, inequality, access to justice, and authoritarian legality. This title has three goals. First, to pluralize the conversation around constitutional law. While most scholarship focuses on liberal forms of Western constitutions, this book attempts to take comparative law's promise to cover all major legal systems of the world seriously; second, to reflect critically on the episte...
The Oxford Handbook of Constitutional Law in Latin America
Constitutional law in Latin America embodies a mosaic of national histories, political experiments, and institutional transitions. No matter how distinctive these histories and transitions might be, there are still commonalities that transcend the mere geographical contiguity of these countries. This Handbook depicts the constitutional landscape of Latin America by shedding light on its most important differences and affinities, qualities and drawbacks, and by assessing its overall standing in the global enterprise of democratic constitutionalism. It engages with substantive and methodological conundrums of comparative constitutional law in the region, drawing meaningful comparisons between ...
Comparative Equality and Anti-Discrimination Law, Third Edition
This revised and updated casebook comprehensively compares the U.S. legal approach to problems of inequality and discrimination with the approaches of a variety of other legal systems around the world.
The Constitution of Brazil
This book offers an original and comprehensive analysis of Brazilian constitutional law and shows how the 1988 Constitution has been a cornerstone in Brazil's struggle to achieve institutional stability and promote the enforcement of fundamental rights. In the realm of rights, although much has been done to decrease the gap between constitutional text and constitutional practice, several types of inequalities still affect and sometimes impair the enforcement of the ambitious bill of rights laid down by the Brazilian Constitution. Within the organisation of powers, the book not only describes how its legislative, executive and judicial functions are organised, but above all else, it analyses ...
