Rethinking the Struggle for Puerto Rican Rights offers a reexamination of the history of Puerto Ricans'political and social activism in the United States in the twentieth century. Authors Lorrin Thomas and Aldo A. Lauria Santiago survey the ways in which Puerto Ricans worked within the United States to create communities for themselves and their compatriots in times and places where dark-skinned or ‘foreign'Americans were often unwelcome. The authors argue that the energetic Puerto Rican rights movement which rose to prominence in the late 1960s was built on a foundation of civil rights activism beginning much earlier in the century. The text contextualizes Puerto Rican activism within the broader context of twentieth-century civil rights movements, while emphasizing the characteristics and goals unique to the Puerto Rican experience. Lucid and insightful, Rethinking the Struggle for Puerto Rican Rights provides a much-needed introduction to a lesser-known but critically important social and political movement.

Sherry Arnstein, writing in 1969 about citizen involvement in planning processes in the United States, described a “ladder of citizen participation” that showed participation ranging from low to high. Arnstein depicted the failings of typical participation processes at the time and characterized aspirations toward engagement that have now been elevated to core values in planning practice. But since that time, the political, economic, and social context has evolved greatly, and planners, organizers, and residents have been involved in planning and community development practice in ways previously unforeseen.Learning from Arnstein's Ladder draws on contemporary theory, expertise, empirical analysis, and practical applications in what is now more commonly termed public engagement in planning to examine the enduring impacts of Arnstein's work and the pervasive challenges that planners face in advancing meaningful public engagement. This book presents research from throughout the world, including Australia, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Portugal, Serbia, and the United States, among others, that utilizes, critiques, revises, and expands upon Arnstein's aspirational vision. It is essential reading for educators and students of planning.

Esta obra reúne artigos na área do Direito e da Teologia e se torna peça fundamental para a compreensão do complexo sistema de interdisciplinaridade existente entre os dois campos do conhecimento. Sabe-se que é muito comum a menção ao nome de Deus em qualquer tipo de discurso político, na fundamentação jurídica, nos votos proferidos pelos parlamentares, ou até mesmo em qualquer tipo de posse em cargo, onde haja público na plateia. É como se o uso da teologia legitimasse o discurso, como forma de exaltação da religiosidade e não ao nome de Deus, em clara demonstração de uso inadequado da teologia no discurso político e no debate jurídico, tudo protegido pelo manto da laicidade. No campo do Direito são reunidos estudos sobre a obediência hierárquica no Direito Penal, examinada à luz do experimento realizado pelo psicólogo americano Stanley Milgram. Faz-se abordagem sobre a privatização de presídios dentro do conceito de Estado Mínimo. Integra a coletânea, também, análise sobre o custo do encarceramento no Brasil, feita sob a ótica da Análise Econômica do Direito, assim como a participação plena na democracia. No campo da Teologia são reunidas reflexões sobre a hermenêutica teológica e a hermenêutica jurídica, sobre os fundamentos teológicos da ideia de justiça, além do papel da Igreja na proteção do meio ambiente, tomando-se como base o conhecimento interdisciplinar.

A presente obra proporciona ao leitor um estudo de forma abrangente acerca da municipalização da execução da pena em perspectiva constitucional, utilizando-se de modelos já adotados na área da educação e do trânsito e, de forma especial, em algumas áreas da saúde, além de demonstrar que, mesmo a despeito do tratamento tímido na doutrina e a manifestação espargida da jurisprudência brasileira, a municipalização da execução da pena é a proposta mais factível e eficaz para arrostar a grave crise por que passa o sistema penitenciário brasileiro. A obra foi construída a partir da coleção de observações extraídas do funcionamento do sistema penitenciário brasileiro, em que despontam dois protagonistas: União e estados. Seja por falta de conhecimento acerca da responsabilidade dos municípios no âmbito do sistema prisional ou facilidade para se esquivar de oferecer soluções, o fato é que o tema jamais mereceu aprofundamento na academia ou na prática da execução penal. Contudo, esta obra se torna peça fundamental para a compreensão do complexo sistema de cumprimento de pena, para a conscientização da sociedade e mobilização das municipalidades para a participação comunitária mais efetiva nos programas de reintegração social de condenados.?

Designing Autonomy at Home. The ADA Project. An Interdisciplinary Strategy for Adaptation of the Homes of Disabled Persons. Housing adaptations are one of the main tools for improving quality of life for people with severe disabilities and for their caregivers. They are also the main tool of the ADA Project, an action research that developed a strategy to tailor adaptations to the specific user needs and profiles. After an introduction to disability, accessibility and housing adaptations, the book describes the ADA Project’s goals, stages and tools. It then focuses on the main scientific outcome of the Project: the ADA Assessment Model (AdAM), an interdisciplinary tool that analyses and assesses the functional and social profile of disabled persons and their relationship with the physical environment in which they live.

Identity and Struggle at the Margins of the Nation-State brings together new research on the social history of Central America and the Spanish-speaking Caribbean during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Aviva Chomsky and Aldo A. Lauria Santiago have gathered both well-known and emerging scholars to demonstrate how the actions and ideas of rural workers, peasants, migrants, and women formed an integral part of the growth of the export economies of the era and to examine the underacknowledged impact such groups had on the shaping of national histories.Responding to the fact that the more common, elite-centered “national” histories distort or erase the importance of gender, race, ethnicity, popular consciousness, and identity, contributors to this volume correct this imbalance by moving these previously overlooked issues to the center of historical research and analysis. In so doing, they describe how these marginalized working peoples of the Hispanic Caribbean Basin managed to remain centered on not only class-based issues but on a sense of community, a desire for dignity, and a struggle for access to resources. Individual essays include discussions of plantation justice in Guatemala, highland Indians in Nicaragua, the effects of foreign corporations in Costa Rica, coffee production in El Salvador, banana workers in Honduras, sexuality and working-class feminism in Puerto Rico, the Cuban sugar industry, agrarian reform in the Dominican Republic, and finally, potential directions for future research and historiography on Central America and the Caribbean.This collection will have a wide audience among Caribbeanists and Central Americanists, as well as students of gender studies, and labor, social, Latin American, and agrarian history.Contributors.

O livro Estudos com crianças e reflexões sobre a infância destaca as experiências de pesquisas e reflexões mediante as vozes e os fazeres das próprias crianças. Pesquisar com as crianças significa não somente o reconhecimento ontológico de cada criança em suas expressões, mas uma construção teórica e contextual pautada pela alteridade. Desse modo, a obra organiza-se em duas seções: 1) Pesquisando com crianças e 2) A infância e o contemporâneo: diálogos urgentes, que buscam apresentar os meandros de tais temáticas a partir de um conjunto de'olhares'que se conformam nas experiências dos diversos pesquisadores e estudiosos que ora tecem tal conjuntura. Pela possibilidade de aprofundar e ampliar as abordagens sobre a infância, esta leitura é um convite à reflexão e à compreensão do lugar das crianças hoje. É, assim, um convite a acadêmicos, professores, pesquisadores e a toda sociedade, para que possam vislumbrar inquietantes e profundas reflexões sobre os itinerários das crianças e infâncias.

This graduate-level primer presents a tutorial introduction to and overview of N = 2 supergravity theories - with 8 real supercharges and in 4, 5 and 6 dimensions. First, the construction of such theories by superconformal methods is explained in detail, and relevant special geometries are obtained and characterized. Following, the relation between the supergravity theories in the various dimensions is discussed. This leads eventually to the concept of very special geometry and quaternionic-Kähler manifolds.This concise text is a valuable resource for graduate students and young researchers wishing to enter the field quickly and efficiently.

This thesis offers a fascinating journey through various non-perturbative aspects of Conformal Theories, in particular focusing on the Conformal Bootstrap Programme and its extensions to theories with various degrees of symmetry. Because of the preeminent role of Conformal Theories in Nature, as well as the great generality of the results here obtained, this analysis directly applies to many different areas of research. The content of this thesis is certainly relevant for the physics community as a whole and this relevance is well motivated and discussed along the various chapters of this work.The work is self-contained and starts with an original introduction to conformal theories, defects in such theories and how they lead to constraints on data and an extension of the bootstrap programme. This situation is often realized by critical systems with impurities, topological insulators, or – in the high-energy context – by Wilson and't Hooft operators. The thesis continues with original research results of the author, including supersymmetric extensions. These results may be relevant non only in the high energy physics context - where supersymmetry is required for the theory to be consistent - but also for condensed matter systems that enjoy supersymmetry emergence at long distances.

Desires matter. What are desires? Many believe that desire is a motivational state: desiring is being disposed to act. This conception aligns with the functionalist approach to desire and the standard account of desire's role in explaining action. According to a second influential approach, however, desire is first and foremost an evaluation: desiring is representing something as good. After all, we seem to desire things under the guise of the good. Which understanding of desire is more accurate? Is the guise of the good even right to assume? Should we adopt an alternative picture that emphasizes desire's deontic nature? What do neuroscientific studies suggest? Essays in the first section of the volume are devoted to these questions, and to the puzzle of desire's essence. In the second part of the volume, essays investigate some implications that the various conceptions of desire have on a number of fundamental issues. For example, why are inconsistent desires problematic? What is desire's role in practical deliberation? How do we know what we want? This volume will contribute to the emergence of a fruitful debate on a neglected, albeit crucial, dimension of the mind.

We are all caught up in one another, Scott Lauria Morgensen asserts, we who live in settler societies, and our interrelationships inform all that these societies touch. Native people live in relation to all non-Natives amid the ongoing power relations of settler colonialism, despite never losing inherent claims to sovereignty as indigenous peoples. Explaining how relational distinctions of “Native” and “settler” define the status of being “queer,” Spaces between Us argues that modern queer subjects emerged among Natives and non-Natives by engaging the meaningful difference indigeneity makes within a settler society.Morgensen's analysis exposes white settler colonialism as a primary condition for the development of modern queer politics in the United States. Bringing together historical and ethnographic cases, he shows how U.S. queer projects became non-Native and normatively white by comparatively examining the historical activism and critical theory of Native queer and Two-Spirit people.Presenting a “biopolitics of settler colonialism”—in which the imagined disappearance of indigeneity and sustained subjugation of all racialized peoples ensures a progressive future for white settlers—Spaces between Us newly demonstrates the interdependence of nation, race, gender, and sexuality and offers opportunities for resistance in the United States.

'Il libro di Enrico del Mercato ed Emanuele Lauria è nella scia di quel grande giornalismo meridionale che, pagando spesso a carissimo prezzo questa scelta (ricordiamo, tra gli altri, i sacrifici di Giuseppe Fava, Mario Francese, Mauro De Mauro, Peppino Impastato...), ha dato formidabili esempi di correttezza, capacità professionale, indipendenza di giudizio, onestà intellettuale nel raccontare tutte le cose che non vanno proprio in nome dell'amore per la propria terra. Perché la rabbia e l'indignazione sono maggiori quando si ha a che fare con qualcuno o qualcosa che si ama. Per questo Emanuele ed Enrico hanno scritto questo libro – documentato, denso, ironico, irriverente, coraggioso – sulla'loro'isola.'Gian Antonio Stella La Regione Sicilia conta 3.500 geometri e ingegneri assunti 23 anni fa per il disbrigo di pratiche di sanatoria che non sono mai state esaminate; ha un parlamento i cui membri si fregiano del titolo di onorevole e guadagnano quanto i senatori della Repubblica, con un bonus da 6.400 euro annui spettante agli ex deputati a titolo di aggiornamento culturale; permette che gli amministrativi vadano in pensione anticipata anche con meno di 25 anni di servizio, guadagnando una cifra fino al 108 per cento dell'ultimo stipendio; concede all'ex segretario generale di mettersi a riposo a 47 anni e subito dopo gli consente di fare l'assessore regionale; ammette che l'ex presidente dell'agenzia per i rifiuti, con i suoi 1.358 euro al giorno, si guadagni la palma di pensionato pubblico più ricco d'Italia: una cifra dietro l'altra, una pagina dietro l'altra, ed ecco ricostruito nel dettaglio il caso-scandalo della Regione Sicilia a cominciare dal 1946, con la creazione dello Statuto autonomista, fino ai giorni nostri. La Sicilia è di fatto la prima forma di federalismo e la più avanzata finora esistente in Italia con competenze esclusive in tema di tasse, personale, urbanistica, perfino di ordine pubblico. Una autonomia speciale indicata come esempio anche dalla Lega che ha prodotto negli anni una incredibile macchina che divora soldi e produce privilegi altrove sconosciuti. Vai al blog del libro

To Rise in Darkness offers a new perspective on a defining moment in modern Central American history. In January 1932 thousands of indigenous and ladino (non-Indian) rural laborers, provoked by electoral fraud and the repression of strikes, rose up and took control of several municipalities in central and western El Salvador. Within days the military and civilian militias retook the towns and executed thousands of people, most of whom were indigenous. This event, known as la Matanza (the massacre), has received relatively little scholarly attention. In To Rise in Darkness, Jeffrey L. Gould and Aldo A. Lauria-Santiago investigate memories of the massacre and its long-term cultural and political consequences.Gould conducted more than two hundred interviews with survivors of la Matanza and their descendants. He and Lauria-Santiago combine individual accounts with documentary sources from archives in El Salvador, Guatemala, Washington, London, and Moscow. They describe the political, economic, and cultural landscape of El Salvador during the 1920s and early 1930s, and offer a detailed narrative of the uprising and massacre. The authors challenge the prevailing idea that the Communist organizers of the uprising and the rural Indians who participated in it were two distinct groups. Gould and Lauria-Santiago demonstrate that many Communist militants were themselves rural Indians, some of whom had been union activists on the coffee plantations for several years prior to the rebellion. Moreover, by meticulously documenting local variations in class relations, ethnic identity, and political commitment, the authors show that those groups considered “Indian” in western El Salvador were far from homogeneous. The united revolutionary movement of January 1932 emerged out of significant cultural difference and conflict.
