Caudillos, mártires y héroes sin fusil: la historiografía y las políticas de la historia en Nicaragua (1979-1996)
No full textSe analiza el establecimiento de la historia como ciencia en Nicaragua desde el siglo XIX, desarrollando un panorama general de las tradiciones historiográficas y, en base a ello, se aventura la hipótesis de la existencia de tres narrativas centrales en la historia oficial de Nicaragua: una primera que corresponde a la imagen de caudillos y/o prohombres, una segunda centrada en los mártires y la última, la de los héroes sin fusil
Insisting on Her Rights: and Other Afro-Brazilian Repertoires of Resisting Everyday Grey Racism
No full textThis paper, the first sociolegal study of the evolving nature of racial discrimination disputes in Brazil, examines the ongoing exchanges between racial domination and Afro-Brazilian resistance to racism. This paper argues that Brazilian racism as an everyday behavioural racism is fully embedded in convivial relations, that resistance to Brazilian racism is also fully embedded in convivial relations, and that the juxtaposition of the three, domination, resistance, and conviviality, have contributed to the misinterpretation of both racial domination and resistance. The paper explores the structural features of behavioural racism and borrows the notion of a grey structure of oppression that deconstructs and compromises the oppressed. It argues that this structural greyness shapes everyday resistance and constitutes a collective action problem for victims seeking to contest racism. The study presents an illustrative case of racism and resistance in which her repertoires of resistance responded to the ebb and flow of racial domination. This study shows that so-called “milder” Goffmanian repertoires of resistance have been utilized by victims who subsequently engaged in other acts of resistance that challenged racist hierarchy
Transnational Organized Crime and Hybrid Governance in Latin America: The Case of Forced Disappearance in Mexico
Full text linkThe present working paper aims to introduce the concept of hybrid governance as a form of mediation between tri-dimensional political actors: the state; violent non-state actors (VNSAs), and society. In the first instance, we create a virtual separation between the state, non-state actors, and society to clarify our analysis’s core. Since the 1980s, Latin America has been experiencing the emergence of several VNSAs with governance capacities, originating from distinct factors among which are economic, political, and social crises, as well as intrastate conflicts. We propose a qualitative methodological approach through which we explore the strategies developed in Mexican civil society to confront forced disappearance perpetrated by both organized crime and the state. We explore this situation of conviviality, understood as a set of social practices created by individuals or social groups to live under severe high levels of violence. The research is based on interviews conducted using an open model to indicate the possible paths developed as a form of resistance to contexts of extreme violence
