The Logic of the Latifundio
This book studies the changing social relations in a region of Costa Rica that does not conform to the country's image as an "agrarian democracy" and investigates why latifundios (large unproductive or under-utilized estates) still dominate much of Latin America.
Peasants Against Globalization
"The author argues that the experience of rural activism in Costa Rica in the 1980s and 1990s calls into question much current theory about collective action, peasantries, development, and ethnographic research. The book invites the reader to rethink debates about old and new social movements, to grapple with the ethical and methodological dilemmas of engaged ethnography, to retrace the long history of development ignored by its postmodernist critics, and to come face-to-face with peasants stubbornly committed to survival."--BOOK JACKET.

Migración interna, infancia y derecho a la educación
La migración de la que habla este libro es fundamentalmente consecuencia de un modelo económico que ha descuidado el desarrollo regional equilibrado y genera desigualdades profundas. El campesinado, incluyendo de manera especial a los indígenas ubicados en ese sector, ha sufrido en las últimas décadas un notable abandono y la agricultura temporalera, frente a los mercados globalizados, ha dejado de ser opción de sobrevivencia en muchas regiones del país.
Einführung in die Ethnologie Mesoamerikas
Erstmals im deutschsprachigen Raum gibt es mit diesem Handbuch ein Überblickswerk zu den rezenten indigenen Kulturen Mesoamerikas. Heutige Maya, Mixteken, Zapoteken und viele weitere autochthone Gemeinschaften sind einerseits Nachfahren der gleichnamigen vorkolonialen Kulturen, andererseits haben sie sich über die Jahrhunderte dynamisch weiterentwickelt und prägen die modernen Nationalstaaten der Region von Mexiko bis Nicaragua auf vielfältige Weise mit. In 32 Einzelkapiteln stellt das Handbuch die indigenen Kulturen Mesoamerikas aus zeitgeschichtlicher und ethnologischer Perspektive dar. Es greift aktuelle Entwicklungen auf und bietet ausgehend vom gegenwärtigen Stand empirischer Kultu...
Crisis for Whom?
Children feature centrally in the ubiquitous narratives of ‘migration crises’. They are often depicted as essentially vulnerable and in need of special protections, or suspiciously adult-like and a threat to national borders. At the same time, many voices, experiences, and stories are rarely heard, especially about children on the move within the global South. This bilingual book, written in English and Spanish, challenges simplistic narratives to enrich perspectives and understanding. Drawing on collaborations between young (im)migrants, researchers, artists and activists, this collection asks new questions about how crises are produced, mobility is controlled, and childhood is conceptu...
