Democracy against Neoliberalism in Argentina and Brazil

From Fin de Siècle to Semi-Centennial Drama of Europe
This book delves into a selection of timeless dramatic texts of the late nineteenth and twentieth century from the interstices of new theories in co-eval times. The theoretical apparatuses offered by the field of Cultural Memory Studies, Vulnerability and Disability studies, Ontology, and Conjectural epistemes of the Anthropocene are equally imperative and competitive on the critical and theoretical spectrum of literary decodation other than post-colonial, feminist, post-structuralist, post-human discoveries of the canon. The intellectual impact of these re-visitations will be groundbreaking for future researchers, as using these critical methods of interpretation will build inroads to a number of both obscure and notable texts to latch on to the past and the cultural milieu for a vigilant future.
Precarious Protections
"Based on six years of ethnographic fieldwork and interviews spanning the Obama and Trump administrations, Precarious Protections chronicles the experiences and perspectives of Central American unaccompanied minors and their immigration attorneys as they pursue applications for refugee status in the US asylum process. The book reveals that the commonsense understanding of asylum as a form of protection for people who fear returning to their homes is nothing like how the asylum law works in action. Narrowly interpreted US asylum law fails to adequately recognize the experiences of youth fleeing Central America today, leaving too many at risk of deportation back to life-threatening danger"--
Migration, Health, and Inequalities
Drawing from an activist research project spanning Loja, Santo Domingo, New York, New Jersey, and Barcelona, this book offers a feminist intersectional analysis of the impact of migration on health and well-being. It assesses how social inequalities and migration and health policies, in Ecuador and destination countries, shape the experiences of migrants. The author also explores how individual and collective action challenges health, geopolitical, gender, sexual, ethnoracial, and economic disparities, and empowers communities. This is a thorough analysis of interpersonal, institutional, and structural mechanisms of marginalization and resistance. It will inform policy and research for better responses to migration’s negative effects on health, and progress towards greater equality and social justice.
