Caminos para descolonizar las relaciones norte-sur en torno a la transición energética

Climate coloniality manifests in the violent appropriation of territories in the Global South, including the extraction of strategic minerals such as copper and molybdenum to service energy transition and green growth for the major world powers. Peasant communities in the Intag river valley in Ecuador have been resisting large-scale mining for decades and, thus, have built up a local solidary economy as a livelihood alternative. This includes communitarian hydropower projects at different scales, which are designed not only to provide families with extra income or jobs but also to build virtuous circles that avoid deforestation, protect biodiversity, and strengthen relations in all their dimensions: within communities, with nature, and with organized actors in the Global North who recognize and wish to cancel their climate debt

End of Course Testing in Georgia High Schools

The requirement for end-of-course testing to replace Georgia\u27s current high school graduation test surfaced on January 30, 1999, when Representatives Porter, Jamieson, Taylor, Ashe, and O\u27Neal co-sponsored House Bill 308. This bill amended the Quality Basic Education Act to require that secondary school students pass end-of-course tests in order to receive credit for Algebra I, American and Georgia Government, American history, American literature, Biology I, Chemistry I, Geometry, and Writing and Composition. According to this bill, the State Board of Education no later than July 1, 2000, would be required to adopt end-of-course assessment instruments ... and shall establish a passing score for each such instrument. On and after September 1, 2000, students would not receive credit for these courses unless they earned a passing score (Georgia School Superintendents Association, 1999-2000). The bill passed the General Assembly and became law on July 1, 1999

Die urbane Frauenbewegung in Mexiko - Interventionen gegen sexistische Gewalt

"Mexiko gilt gemeinhin als die Wiege des 'machismo'. Obwohl verläßliche Statistiken bis heute nicht zur Verfügung stehen, scheinen dort, glaubt man der Medienberichterstattung der letzten Jahre, Gewalt und Erniedrigung vielleicht noch mehr als anderswo zum Alltag mexikanischer Frauen zu gehören. Doch Teile von ihnen haben sich genau dagegen zusammengeschlossen und organisiert: Ein Frauenhaus, vier Sonderkommissariate für Sexualdelikte, ein Zentrum für die Behandlung der Opfer innerfamiliärer Gewalt und eine stattliche Reihe geänderter oder neu verabschiedeter Gesetze im Straf- und Zivilrecht sind die greifbaren Ergebnisse der Interaktion zwischen Feministinnen und einem krisengeschüttelten mexikanischen Staat, die hier nachgezeichnet werden sollen. Fokus der Analyse ist dabei die Hauptstadt Mexiko-City, denn die dortigen Entwicklungen im politischen und gesetzgeberischen Bereich haben Vorreiterfunktion für die anderen mexikanischen Bundesstaaten."

Nabón: construyendo el Sumak Kawsay desde abajo

Nabón: Construyendo el Sumak Kawsay desde abajo relata varias etapas de los procesos sociales vividos en Nabón (Azuay). Presenta interesantes análisis sociológicos sobre el modelo de desarrollo alternativo, comprendido desde lo comunitario, la interactividad con la institucionalidad local, la complementariedad de la asistencia técnica y la cooperación internacional. La construcción colectiva de veinticinco años en Nabón, liderada por mujeres e inspirada en las prácticas indígenas de autogobierno, suscita interés mundial. La soberanía alimentaria, la producción agroecológica, el fortalecimiento de mercados locales, la reconstrucción de relaciones armónicas con la naturaleza y la profundización de la democracia, como se practican en Nabón, constituyen pistas para salir de la crisis social, ecológica, económica y política que la sociedad enfrenta

Pathways to decolonize North-South relations around energy transition

San Mao and the known world

It examines San Mao's portrayals of foreign countries and foreign people, and of herself in interaction with them. It endeavours to demonstrate the function of San Mao as an exemplary self for readers, and to situate the San Mao persona in relation to the world she created in her texts

Gritos, grietas y siembras de nuestros territorios del sur: Catherine Walsh y el pensamiento crítico-decolonial en América Latina

Este libro es un trabajo colectivo, de homenaje y reconocimiento al trabajo investigativo, pedagógico y activista de Catherine Walsh. Sus trayectorias han privilegiado el proyecto político, ético y existencial de la interculturalidad crítica y la decolonialidad, cuyos ejes centrales entretejen la geopolítica del conocimiento, las luchas políticas y la praxis social de los pueblos afrodescendientes e indígenas, los pensamientos feministas y las pedagogías alternativas. Cathy es una incansable tejedora de espacios colectivos que abren grietas y siembran semillas. Su tarea ha sido encaminar y acompañar a colectivos, líderes y lideresas que trabajan fuera de la academia. Y su compromiso ha sido ese: pensar “con”, nunca sobre o a propósito de otros. El activismo social, la in-disciplina, la desobediencia epistémica, el pensamiento crítico, enraizado en la lucha por la justicia social, contra la violencia y la deshumanización que viven hoy los pueblos y comunidades racializadas en América Latina, definen el caminar de Catherine Walsh. Aquí, quienes caminaron con ella, estudiantes, colegas, intelectuales y militantes latinoamericanos, relatan las dimensiones de la transformación impulsada por ella en los cuerpos, las comunidades y los territorios del pensar
