No book has ever presented a selection of writings of anarchists from the Portuguese?speaking world to an English?speaking audience. In The Luso?Anarchist Reader, writings by feminist radicals such as Maria Lacerda de Moura and anarchist communists such as Neno Vasco are made available in English for the first time. Researchers and activists interested in achieving a more comprehensive understanding of people's movements could certainly stand to benefit from exposure to these texts. Groups such as the Anarchist Federation of Rio de Janeiro are organizing in both urban and rural Brazil, sometimes working as part of a larger umbrella organization known as Brazilian Anarchist Coordination or CAB coordinating the efforts of various anarchist associations. Anarchists participated in the massive 2013 protests in Brazil, protests that brought together millions of people to speak out against corruption and for a variety of social causes. Anarchists are active in anti?austerity protests in Portugal against the European troika. Given the visibility of anarchism in the Portuguese?speaking world, Brazil in particular, the need to understand the roots of this anarchist tradition is especially salient. Anarchism in the Portuguese?speaking world during the early twentieth century brought together immigrants, people of African and indigenous descent, and feminists to forge a solidarity?based alliance for change. The young anarchist activists questioning the status quo today stand on ground seeded by the hard work of their predecessors.

This handbook unites leading scholars from around the world in exploring anarchism as a political ideology, from an examination of its core principles, an analysis of its history, and an assessment of its contribution to the struggles that face humanity today. Grounded in a conceptual and historical approach, each entry charts what is distinctive about the anarchist response to particular intellectual, political, cultural and social phenomena, and considers how these values have changed over time. At its heart is a sustained process of conceptual definition and an extended examination of the core claims of this frequently misunderstood political tradition. It is the definitive scholarly reference work on anarchism as a political ideology, and should be a crucial text for scholars, students, and activists alike.

The rise of authoritarian, nationalist forms of populism and the implications for rural actors and settings is one of the most crucial foci for critical agrarian studies today, with many consequences for political action. Authoritarian Populism and the Rural World reflects on the rural origins and consequences of the emergence of authoritarian and populist leaders across the world, as well as on the rise of multi-class mobilisation and resistance, alongside wider counter-movements and alternative practices, which together confront authoritarianism and nationalist populism. The book includes 20 chapters written by contributors to the Emancipatory Rural Politics Initiative (ERPI), a global network of academics and activists committed to both reflective analysis and political engagement. Debates about ‘populism’, ‘nationalism’, ‘authoritarianism’ and more have exploded recently, but relatively little of this has focused on the rural dimensions. Yet, wherever one looks, the rural aspects are key – not just in electoral calculus, but in understanding underlying drivers of authoritarianism and populism, and potential counter-movements to these. Whether because of land grabs, voracious extractivism, infrastructural neglect or lack of services, rural peoples’ disillusionment with the status quo has had deeply troubling consequences and occasionally hopeful ones, as the chapters in this book show. The chapters in this book were originally published in The Journal of Peasant Studies.

Given the current social climate this book interrogates capitalism’s relationships to and influence on education. More importantly, this book is part of a greater effort to re?humanize society by generating dialogue, encouraging solidarity and providing analyses of power and avenues for agency in supporting a life beyond the logic of the state and its implied structure, global neoliberal capitalism. The authors speak to the conceptual and material manifestations of neoliberalism that order education. Imagining education is an informed public working against what is understood as self?interest, a reconsideration of a world beyond ideology; popular education aiding social transformation for community, a move away from divisiveness and social struggle. We do not offer easy answers to the problems of global neoliberal capitalism in education, instead the authors in this book offer frameworks for contextualizing neoliberalism, its history, and what education might be on the day after the end of capitalism. This is the rupture of the rationality of global neoliberal capitalism where we examine the potentialities of a world beyond the capitalist organization of consciousness.

A volume in Critical Constructions: Studies on Education and Society Series Editor: Curry Stephenson Malott, West Chester University of Pennsylvania Arising from the street corners and underground clubs, Rebel Music: Resistance through Hip Hop and Punk, challenges standardized schooling and argues for equity, peace, and justice. Rebel Music is an important, one-of-a-kind book that takes readers through fun, radical, educational chapters examining Hip Hop and Punk songs, with each section addressing a particular social issue. Rebel Music values the experiences found in both movements as cultural capital that is de-valued in the current oppressive, standard, test-driven, rule-bound, and corporate schooling experience, making youth "just another brick in the wall." This collection is a "rebel yell" to administrators, teachers, parents, police, politicians, and counselors who demonize Hip Hop and Punk to listen up and respect youth culture. Finally, Rebel Music is a celebration of radical voices and an organizing tool for those who use music to challenge oppression.

This year (2012) marks ten years of No Child Left Behind and the U.S. federal government's official designation of what qualifies as "scientifically based research" (SBR) in education. Combined, these two policies have resulted in a narrowing of education via standardization and high stakes testing (Au, 2007) as well as the curtailment of forms of inquiry that are deemed legitimate for examining education (Wright, 2006). While there has been much debate about the benefits and limitations of the NCLB legislation (e.g., Au, 2010) and SBR (e.g., Eisenhart & Towne, 2003), critical researchers have held strong to their position: The reductionistic narrowing of education curricula and educational research cannot solve the present and historical inequities in society and education (Shields, 2012). Contrarily, reductionism (via standardization and/or methodological prescription) exacerbates the challenges we face because it effectively erases the epistemological, ontological, and axiological diversity necessary for disrupting hegemonic social structures that lie at the root of human suffering (Kincheloe, 2004). Not only has NCLB proven incapable of overcoming inequalities, but there seems to be sufficient evidence to suggest it was never really intended to eliminate poverty and human suffering. That is, it seems NCLB, despite its lofty title and public discourse, is actually designed to advance the agenda of handing public education over to for-profit corporations to manage and privatize thereby intensifying the capitalist class' war on those who rely on a wage to survive (Malott, 2010). In the present ethos, reductionism upholds and retrenches the status quo (i.e. the basic structures of power), and it puts at risk education and educational research as means of working toward social justice (Biesta, 2007). Because social justice can be interpreted in multiple ways, we might note that we understand critical social justice as oriented toward action and social change. Thus, critical education and research may have potential to contribute to a number of social justice imperatives, such as: redistributing land from the neo-colonizing settler-state to Indigenous peoples, halting exploitative labor relations and hazardous working conditions for wage-earners, and engaging in reparations with formerly enslaved communities.

Este ebook presenta "El banquero anarquista (texto completo, con índice activo)" con un sumario dinámico y detallado. El banquero anarquista es un libro de Fernando Pessoa editado por primera vez en el año 1922. El texto está armado como un diálogo entre el banquero y un amigo suyo, quienes conversan sin pausa y sin perder el hilo: ¿cómo un banquero es anarquista, y cómo un anarquista termina siendo banquero sin traicionarse? Es una entretenida ironía del ideario anarquista: lleva al extremo sus postulados a través de un protagonista −banquero, acaparador y usurero− que cuenta sus inicios en organizaciones políticas, critica a sus antiguos compañeros por no pasar más allá de la teoría, y ejerce un particular anarquismo basado en sofismas, en argumentos presentados de manera lógica e inteligente, pero mañosa; son tanto o más entretenidos que los argumentos de quienes proponen un mundo mejor a partir del homicidio selectivo y la coacción. Fernando Pessoa (1888 — 1935), es uno de los mayores poetas y escritores de la lengua portuguesa y de la literatura europea.

This volume explores the history, evolution, and future of Luso-Hispanic Cultural Studies as a discipline, a pedagogical tool, and a set of working practices by bringing together a diverse group of renowned specialists to examine how the field has grown out of and radically reconsidered some of the basic premises of British Cultural Studies since the 1950s to address the many cultures of the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking world. The chapters in this volume address How Cultural Studies is being practiced in the increasingly virtual mediascapes of the twenty-first century What happens to basic critical assumptions about culture and power after they have passed through the filter of Post-Colonial and Decolonial Studies of the Luso-Hispanic world How we understand the role of culture in light of recent experiences with radical demographic shifts, populism and civil unrest within Latin America, Iberian and the Latino U.S How new ways of practising Luso-Hispanic Cultural Studies have worked their way into our pedagogy and the structure of the curriculum in the age of the increasingly privatized neoliberal university Providing keen insight and reflection on these questions, this volume is an essential read for scholars and students of Visual and Film Studies, Latin American and Iberian Studies, Luso-Brazilian Studies, Language and Culture Pedagogy, Global Studies, and for anyone interested in Cultural Studies across the Luso-Hispanic world.

Após uma longa e rigorosa pesquisa sobre as condições sociais e políticas que permitiram o surgimento de um movimento emancipatório de mulheres na Espanha revolucionária de 1936, Martha A. Ackelsberg narra os esforços da Federação Mulheres Livres para criar uma organização de alcance nacional constituída por e para as mulheres da classe trabalhadora, com o objetivo de prepará-las para ocupar seu lugar na revolução em curso e na nova sociedade que se avizinhava — e que, infelizmente, foi detida pelo avanço do fascismo. *** Comecei esta pesquisa muitos anos atrás, num contexto político bastante distinto do atual. Quando este livro foi publicado pela primeira vez, nos Estados Unidos, em 1991, o Muro de Berlim tinha caído havia pouco, a União Soviética estava no mesmo caminho, Nelson Mandela tinha acabado de ser solto da prisão em Robben Island, e o Brasil se recuperava dos anos de ditadura militar. Eram os primórdios das revoluções digital e tecnológica que transformariam as economias pelo mundo, e mal se podia imaginar que assistiríamos a manifestações contra a globalização — a Organização Mundial do Comércio (omc) sequer havia sido criada. Havia muito trabalho pela frente para enfrentarmos a desigualdade e a injustiça em todo o mundo, mas, ao mesmo tempo, havia também um sentimento de esperança e a expectativa por mudanças. Não vejo nenhuma ironia no fato de que a edição brasileira de Free Women of Spain seja publicada agora, num momento em que tanto o Brasil como os Estados Unidos enfrentam a ascensão de coalizões de direita, não tão diferentes daquelas que provocaram a Guerra Civil Espanhola. Apesar dos esforços dos movimentos sociais populares de oposição, em ambos os países candidatos pseudopopulistas tiveram êxito nas eleições presidenciais ao apelar para os altos níveis de alienação e descrédito dos políticos tradicionais, afirmando que tirariam o país das mãos de elites corruptas que, por muito tempo, foram indiferentes aos problemas da população. Ainda que a eleição de Jair Bolsonaro, em 2018, não tenha sido, talvez, tão inesperada quanto a de Donald Trump, em 2016, o fato é que parece que estamos testemunhando a ascensão de governos autoritários e movimentos neofascistas pelo mundo. Ativistas em ambos os países (e em muitos outros) temem pelo futuro de suas instituições democráticas relativamente novas — e também por aquelas mais antigas —, e se perguntam como transformar a agenda pública e o equilíbrio do poder político para começar a recuperar espaços perdidos. Sou extremamente grata à Editora Elefante por garantir a oportunidade de introduzir este livro entre o público brasileiro contemporâneo, e por me permitir — e às mulheres da Mulheres Livres — contribuir de alguma maneira para esse diálogo em curso. — Martha A. Ackelsberg, no prefácio à edição brasileira

This book simultaneously provides multiple analyses of critical pedagogy in the twenty-first century while showcasing the scholarship of this new generation of critical scholar-educators. Needless to say, the writers herein represent just a small subset of a much larger movement for critical transformation and a more humane, less Eurocentric, less paternalistic, less homophobic, less patriarchical, less exploitative, and less violent world. This volume highlights the finding that rigorous critical pedagogical approaches to education, while still marginalized in many contexts, are being used in increasingly more classrooms for the benefit of student learning, contributing, however indirectly, to the larger struggle against the barbarism of industrial, neoliberal, militarized destructiveness. The challenge for critical pedagogy in the twenty-first century, from this point of view, includes contributing to the manifestation of a truly global critical pedagogy that is epistemologically democratic and against human suffering and capitalist exploitation. These rigorous, democratic, critical standards for measuring the value of our scholarship, including this volume of essays, should be the same that we use to critique and transform the larger society in which we live and work.
