(Re)pensando el vínculo entre migración y crisis. Perspectivas desde América Latina y Europa

Over the years, it has become clear that migration is a structural phenomenon in our societies and not a sporadic one. However, in recent decades, governments, international organizations and academia have associated migration with the concept of crisis. Why is human mobility still linked to the idea of an extraordinary event of modernity? Is migration a consequence of the crisis or a cause? How do different governments and international organizations construct the concept of migration crisis?

This case raises the question that guides this paper: How to understand Cherán's autonomous political project from an ethnic perspective?

Poscolonialismo a prueba. Cuba, Puerto Rico y las Filipinas desde una perspectiva comparada

This volume examines the social, political, economic and cultural legacies of the last three colonies of the Spanish Empire: Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines. The three former colonies offer an ideal setting for applying a comparative framework of analysis, insofar as they coincide in that their long-term colonial experiences were shaped by the same colonial powers and, moreover, converge in the difference of their geographical contexts and in their postcolonial trajectories.
