O livro traz uma perspectiva conceitual revisitada para os direitos humanos, apresentando a necessidade de rompimento com a epistemologia dominante na América Latina. Foi realizado um estudo de alguns casos sobre Justiça de Transição e as violações aos Direitos Humanos cometidas durante a ditadura civil-militar brasileira (1964-1985). A perspectiva adotada é a do Sistema Interamericano de Direitos Humanos e considera a forma como o conceito de Justiça de Transição foi construído mundialmente. São trabalhados os conceitos de modernidade, de eurocentrismo e dos legados das colonialidades – poder, saber, ser e gênero. A partir da aplicação da teoria decolonial e das previsões do Novo Constitucionalismo Latino-Americano, aborda a possibilidade de reconhecimento da América Latina como lócus de enunciação e a necessidade de revisão do conceito de direitos humanos, aprofundando o debate sobre a geopolítica do conhecimento no diálogo Norte-Sul.
Jurgen Habermas is unquestionably one of the foremost philosophers writing today. His notions of communicative action and rationality have exerted a profound influence within philosophy and the social sciences. This volume examines the historical and intellectual contexts out of which Habermas' work emerged, and offers an overview of his main ideas, including those in his most recent publications. -- Publisher description.
Unlike many social movements, the gay and lesbian struggle for visibility and rights has succeeded in combining a unified group identity with the celebration of individual differences.

This updated and revised edition of Hamers and Blanc's successful textbook presents state-of-the-art knowledge about languages in contact from individual bilingualism (or bilinguality) to societal bilingualism. It is both multi- and interdisciplinary in approach, and analyses bilingualism at individual, interpersonal, and societal levels. Linguistic, cognitive and sociocultural aspects of bilingual development are explored, as are problems such as bilingual memory and polyglot aphasia. Hamers and Blanc analyse the relationship between culture, identity, and language behaviour in multicultural settings, as well as the communication strategies in interpersonal and intergroup relations. They also propose theoretical models of language processing and development, which are then applied to bilingual behaviour. Other topics reviewed include language shift, pidgins and creoles, language planning and bilingual education. This book will be invaluable to students, teachers and scholars interested in languages in contact in a range of disciplines including psycholinguistics, linguistics, the social sciences, education and language planning.
The primary focus of the book is to illuminate intersections of gender, sexuality, work, race and economic relations in the Caribbean.
This study was written in English in the 1930s when Adorno, one of the 20th century's most influential thinkers, was living in the United States. It is a pioneering analysis of a member of what we now call the Radical Right—the now-forgotten Martin Luther Thomas, an American fascist-style demagogue who used the radio to appeal to and to manipulate his adherents.
