Al trazar las tendencias clave de la interfaz global-regional-local de poder, Inés Durán Matute, a través del caso de la comunidad indígena de Mezcala, México, demuestra cómo los procesos económico-políticos globales moldean las vidas, espacios, proyectos e identidades de las comunidades más remotas. A lo largo del libro, las entrevistas a profundidad, la observación participante y la recopilación de textos ofrecen al lector una visión del funcionamiento de la gobernanza neoliberal, de cómo ésta es sustentada por las redes de poder y las retóricas desplegadas, y cómo es vivida. Las personas, como participantes pasivos y activos en sus formas de proceder, son sumergidas en estas geografías de poder buscando estrategias de supervivencia, pero también construyendo proyectos autónomos que desafían estas formas de gobernanza. Este libro, al conectar la experiencia de una localidad geopolítica y la literatura del "Sur Global" latinoamericano con las discusiones de la academia del "Norte Global", ofrece un enfoque transdisciplinario original y oportuno que desafía las interpretaciones de poder y desarrollo, al mismo tiempo que prioriza y respeta la producción local de conocimiento.

Volume 7 of "Law and Anthropology" brings together a collection of studies that discuss legal problems raised by cultural differences between people and the law to which they are subject. This volume developed from the idea that it can be useful to consider current discussions in various legal systems facing issues of cultural difference that cannot be regarded as legal problems related to indigenous societies alone. The book focuses on contradiction between national law and complex and diverse kinship structures, which are essential for the cultural identity of both indigenous groups and cultural minorities. The social construction of gender relations and gender conflicts is an important theme in many essays. Some of the essays examine the area of conflict between cultural practices and universal human rights standards. The demand for cultural rights may collide with human rights standards, especially with the principles of gender equality. This volume will be of great interest to academics and to all those with practical involvement in the field of cultural pluralism. Previously published by VWGO Verlag in Austria, "Law and Anthropology" will be published and distributed by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers from Volume 7 onwards.

Cartography has a troubled history as a technology of power. The production and distribution of maps, often understood to be ideological representations that support the interests of their developers, have served as tools of colonization, imperialism, and global development, advancing Western notions of space and place at the expense of Indigenous peoples and other marginalized communities. But over the past two decades, these marginalized populations have increasingly turned to participatory mapping practices to develop new, innovative maps that reassert local concepts of place and space, thus harnessing the power of cartography in their struggles for justice. In twelve essays written by community leaders, activists, and scholars, Radical Cartographies critically explores the ways in which participatory mapping is being used by Indigenous, Afro-descendant, and other traditional groups in Latin America to preserve their territories and cultural identities. Through this pioneering volume, the authors fundamentally rethink the role of maps, with significant lessons for marginalized communities across the globe, and launch a unique dialogue about the radical edge of a new social cartography.
