Latinas and the Politics of Urban Spaces

Latinas and the Politics of Urban Spaces
Sharon A. Navarro, "Latinas and the Politics of Urban Spaces "
English | ISBN: 0367432056 | 2020 | 122 pages | EPUB | 1530 KB
This book illuminates the ways in which Chicanas, Puerto Rican women, and other Latinas organize and lead social movements, either on the ground or digitally, in major cities of the continental United States and Puerto Rico. It shows how they challenge racism, sexism, homophobia, and anti-immigrant policies through their political praxis and spiritual activism. Drawing from a range of disciplines and perspectives, academic and activist authors offer unique insights into environmental justice, peace and conflict resolution, women's rights, LGBTQ coalition-building, and more―all through a distinctive Latina lens. Designed for use in a wide range of college courses, this book is also aimed at practitioners, community organizers, and grassroots leaders.

Japan's new security partnerships Japan's new security partnerships

Japan's new security partnerships Japan's new security partnerships
Wilhelm Vosse, "Japan's new security partnerships: Japan's new security partnerships "
English | ISBN: 1526123126 | 2018 | 264 pages | EPUB | 1534 KB
After decades of solely relying on the United States for its national security needs, over the last decade, Japan has begun to actively develop and deepen its security ties with a growing number of countries and actors in the Asia-Pacific region and Europe, a development that has further intensified under the Shinzo Abe administration. This is the first book that provides a comprehensive analysis of the motives and objectives from both the Japanese and the partner-countries' perspectives, and asks what this might mean for the security architecture in the Asia-Pacific region, and what lessons can be learned for security cooperation more broadly.
