Résumé:
Le capitalisme et la modernité seraient intrinsèquement liés à un racisme d’essence coloniale et à la domination de l’Occident sur le Sud global : tel est le postulat des décoloniaux. Face à une rationalité considérée comme eurocentrique, face à un système de pouvoir qui chercherait à maintenir les « non-Blancs » dans une position subalterne, ils prônent un retour aux formes de savoir et aux visions du monde des peuples indigènes. À l’heure où les théories décoloniales, nées en Amérique latine, gagnent du terrain dans les milieux universitaires et militants, les auteurs de ce livre, ancrés eux aussi dans ce continent, font entendre une autre voix. Ils démontrent comment ces théories propagent une lecture simpliste de l’histoire et des rapports de pouvoir, et comment leur focalisation sur les questions d’identité ethno-raciale relègue au second plan l’opposition pourtant fondamentale entre riches et pauvres. À l’horizon, une conviction : seul un anticolonialisme fondé sur une critique radicale du capitalisme permettra de sortir de cette impasse, en dépassant toute soif de revanche pour retrouver le contenu universel des luttes d’émancipation.

Résumé:
Ce « Petit dictionnaire » a été écrit à partir des années 1970 et se compose d’une cinquantaine d’entrées. Alice Ceresa resémantise une partie de notre vocabulaire quotidien pour proposer une vision philosophique et surtout organique du féminin. Elle repense non seulement des termes du champ sémantique du féminisme mais redéfinit aussi la biologie, la religion ou la littérature. En s’emparant avec beaucoup d’originalité de la forme du dictionnaire, elle invente une structure à son image: libre et percutante. Sa prose est furieuse et son ton d’une ironie mordante. Parce qu’elle réfléchit le monde différemment, Ceresa nous invite à le remettre à notre tour en question. Publiée à titre posthume, cette œuvre audacieuse est traduite pour la première fois en français.

Résumé:
Humanity has always excluded Others on the basis of race and gender. What happens to people who choose to flee, following in the footsteps of those who resisted enslavement? This audacious manifesto draws on the legacies of bell hooks, Audre Lorde, Angela Davis and others to consider the ways in which Black women have been excluded from, struggled to achieve and opted to reject the category of ‘human’. Sociologist Akwugo Emejulu argues that it is only through embracing the status of the ‘fugitive’ that Black women can determine their own liberation. ''Fugitive Feminism'' is a call for the collective process of speculative dialogue and a bold new model for action.

Résumé:
The storyteller is the living memory of her time: at once an oracle, weaver, healer, warrior, witch, protectress, teacher and great mother. Her powers are to do with passing on – not only the stories but transmission itself: "what grandma began, granddaughter completes and passes on to be further completed." In contrast to the idea that a story is "just a story", pioneering postcolonial feminist theorist and filmmaker Trinh T. Minh-ha recodes ideas about truth and fantasy to tell a different story about power, civilisation, history, medicine and magic. "Grandma’s Story" shows how creative speech is connected to women’s powers of enchantment, drawing upon and speaking with storytellers including Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Clarice Lispector, Maxine Hong Kingston, Leslie Marmon Silko and Zora Neale Hurston – all who may be known as ‘'she who breaks open the spell'’.

Résumé:
''Pathways to Utopia'' explores how Brazil's ''Landless Workers Movement'' (''Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra", or MST), against all odds, has endured for forty years as one of the world's largest social movements—while transforming the way we understand the temporality of activism. Taking his cue from MST members and their generational struggle for land and justice, anthropologist Alex Ungprateeb Flynn reveals how the movement's longevity stems not only from its strong organization and collective vision but also from the productive tensions between established utopian ideals and emerging counter-utopian practices. Perceived by some as a shortcoming, this friction has proven to be a generative force, sparking creative gestures that reimagine social relations and ensuring the MST's adaptability in an ever-changing political landscape. Flynn chronicles the everyday lives of families navigating an extraordinary political reality over a fifteen-year period. At the heart of ''Pathways to Utopia'' is the realization that activism is not a momentary act but an ongoing, relational practice—one where even the smallest community actions reverberate, reshaping the very structures through which people seek to change the world.

Résumé:
''The political ecology of education'' examines the opportunities for and constraints on advancing food sovereignty in the 17 de Abril settlement, a community born out of a massacre of landless Brazilian workers in 1996. Based on immersive fieldwork over the course of seven years, David Meek makes the provocative argument that critical forms of food systems education are integral to agrarian social movements’ survival. While the need for critical approaches is especially immediate in the Amazon, Meek’s study speaks to the burgeoning attention to food systems education at various educational levels worldwide, from primary to postgraduate programs. His book calls us to rethink the politics of the possible within these pedagogies.

Résumé:
Brazil is a country of extreme inequalities, one of the most important of which is the acute concentration of rural land ownership. In recent decades, however, poor landless workers have mounted a major challenge to this state of affairs. A broad grassroots social movement led by the Movement of Landless Rural Workers (MST) has mobilized hundreds of thousands of families to pressure authorities for land reform through mass protest. This book explores the evolution of the landless movement from its birth during the twilight years of Brazil's military dictatorship through the first government of Luiz In cio Lula da Silva. It uses this case to test a number of major theoretical perspectives on social movements and engages in a critical dialogue with both contemporary political opportunity theory and Mancur Olson's classic economic theory of collective action.

Résumé:
Linda Lainé et Jean Viard ont réuni et fusionné leurs ouvrages récents sur le voyage et le tourisme pour s'interroger ensemble : le tourisme va-t-il enfin sortir de sa longue croissance continue pour devenir une politique publique, avec des choix, des stratégies, des engagements écologiques et un projet social et culturel ? Le laisser-faire qui mène à des crispations ponctuelles, des embouteillages, du surtourisme peut-il être remplacé par une gouvernance qui améliore la vie des habitants des régions touristiques, le bien-être des voyageurs et diminue l'impact écologique de ces millions de voyageurs souvent passionnés ? Et le monde des professionnels de l'accueil, de l'accompagnement et du service peut-il vivre décemment de ces métiers et en retirer plaisir et fierté? L'objet de ce livre est de présenter une réflexion de fond sur le rôle positif du voyage dans notre époque troublée ainsi que de nombreuses analyses de cas concrets et de politiques locales innovantes.

Résumé:
Changing the world is difficult. One reason is that the most important problems, like climate change, racism, and poverty, are structural. They emerge from our collective practices: laws, economies, history, culture, norms, and built environments. The dilemma is that there is no way to make structural change without individual people making different—more structure-facing—decisions. In ''Somebody Should Do Something'', Michael Brownstein, Alex Madva, and Daniel Kelly show us how we can connect our personal choices to structural change and why individual choices matter, though not in the way people usually think. The authors paint a new picture of how social change happens, arguing that our most powerful personal choices are those that springboard us into working together with others—warehouse worker Chris Smalls’s unionization at Amazon is one powerful example. Taking inspiration from the writer Bill McKibben, they stress how one “important thing an individual can do is be somewhat less of an individual.”
