Esta obra aborda, desde una perspectiva multidisciplinaria, la participación política de mujeres indígenas a través del análisis detallado de experiencias localizadas en cinco países de América Latina (México, Guatemala, Colombia, Chile y Argentina). Su propósito central es presentar los posicionamientos de autoras indígenas y no indígenas con respecto a las posibilidades, condicionantes, dificultades y obstáculos que ofrecen los marcos étnicos a la participación política de las mujeres. (Martha Patricia Castañeda Salgado) Esta compilación de textos representa dos características principales que la hacen única en nuestro contexto académico. Por un lado, este es prácticamente el único libro de esta índole en Colombia que presenta las voces de mujeres intelectuales indígenas, en roles de autoras y coautoras. Tanto los tres ejes de reflexión de esta obra como las preguntas propuestas permiten aportar elementos de comprensión al vasto e inexplorado campo emergente de los procesos de las mujeres indígenas en América Latina.

For more than fifteen years, Nomadic Subjects has guided discourse in continental philosophy and feminist theory, exploring the constitution of contemporary subjectivity, especially the concept of difference within European philosophy and political theory. Rosi Braidotti's creative style vividly renders a productive crisis of modernity. From a feminist perspective, she recasts embodiment, sexual difference, and complex concepts through relations to technology, historical events, and popular culture. This thoroughly revised and expanded edition retains all but two of Braidotti's original essays, including her investigations into epistemology's relation to the "woman question;" feminism and biomedical ethics; European feminism; and the possible relations between American feminism and European politics and philosophy. A new piece integrates Deleuze and Guattari's concept of the "becoming-minoritarian" more deeply into modern democratic thought, and a chapter on methodology explains Braidotti's methods while engaging with her critics. A new introduction muses on Braidotti's provocative legacy.

This is the first in-depth guide to global community psychology research and practice, history and development, theories and innovations, presented in one field-defining volume. This book will serve to promote international collaboration, enhance theory utilization and development, identify biases and barriers in the field, accrue critical mass for a discipline that is often marginalized, and to minimize the pervasive US-centric view of the field.

This publication provides an overview of the common and unique sustainability elements of Indigenous Peoples' food systems, in terms of natural resource management, access to the market, diet diversity, indigenous peoples’ governance systems, and links to traditional knowledge and indigenous languages. While enhancing the learning on Indigenous Peoples food systems, it will raise awareness on the need to enhance the protection of Indigenous Peoples' food systems as a source of livelihood for the 476 million indigenous inhabitants in the world, while contributing to the Zero Hunger Goal. In addition, the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition (2016-2025) and the UN Food Systems Summit call on the enhancement of sustainable food systems and on the importance of diversifying diets with nutritious foods, while broadening the existing food base and preserving biodiversity. This is a feature characteristic of Indigenous Peoples' food systems since hundreds of years, which can provide answers to the current debate on sustainable food systems and resilience.
