International Perspectives on Intimate Partner Violence
This book examines international perspectives on intimate partner violence (IPV). It highlights the current state of IPV prevention and intervention efforts across countries, including Colombia, Iran, Russia, China, India, Turkey, Nigeria, the United Kingdom, Finland, and the United States.

In addition, it addresses growth areas and challenges regarding IPV prevention and intervention, including legal issues as well as cultural and social contexts and their relation to IPV – and the clinical interventions used – within each country. ...
Dwellers of Memory
Dwellers of Memory is an ethnographic study of how urban youth in Colombia came to be at the intersection of multiple forms of political, drug-related, and territorial violence in a country undergoing forty years of internal armed conflict. It examines the ways in which youth in the city of Medellin reconfigure their lives and, cultural worlds in the face of widespread violence. This violence has transgressed familiar boundaries and destroyed basic social supports and networks of trust. This volume attempts to map and understand its patterns and flows. The author explores how Medellin's youth locate themselves and make, sense of violence through contradictory and shifting memory practices. T...
Evil Paradises
Evil Paradises, edited by Mike Davis and Daniel Bertrand Monk, is a global guidebook to phantasmagoric but real places—alternate realities being constructed as “utopias” in a capitalist era unfettered by unions and state regulation. These developments—in cities, deserts, and in the middle of the sea—are worlds where consumption and inequality surpass our worst nightmares. Although they read like science fiction, the case studies are shockingly real. In Dubai, where child slavery existed until very recently, a gilded archipelago of private islands known as “The World” is literally being added to the ocean. In Medellín and Kabul, drug lords—in many ways textbook capitalists—...
Northwest Line Ecological Bananas Association
The aim of this document is to describe and analyse the development of an organization of small family farmers in the Dominican Republic that was formed 26 years ago and which shows positive results in economic, social and environmental terms for the member families. Such successful experiences may serve as a reference point for designing public policy proposals, and act as a stimulus for producers in other regions, demonstrating that “it is possible to get ahead with one's own effort” and belief in one's peers, obtaining support from public and international entities that can provide advice in important fields for the organization’s performance, and continuously improving bargaining c...
A Century of Revolution
A collection exploring the ideological hardening and accelerated polarization that marked twentieth-century Latin America and its epochal cycles of revolutionary and counterrevolutionary violence.
La Educación Superior
La idea de pagar por los estudios (en todos los niveles de enseñanza), ha logrado instalarse en el sentido común de una porción importante de las clases medias y ha modificado las prácticas al tiempo que colaboró en la configuración de un esquema societal cada vez menos capaz de intervenir como integrador social. El proceso de privatización de la vida pública (e incluso privada) se instaló en los núcleos rectores del sentido y en todos aquellos espacios desde los cuales se organiza la vida social. En este marco, la definición del rol de la Educación Superior exige respuestas inteligentes que superen el terreno de la mera consigna para adentrarse de lleno en la problemática priva...
