Inequality and Climate Change
Author: Carlo Delgado-RamosPublisher: African Books Collective
ISBN: 286978676X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of the twenty-first century. Anthropogenic activities, such as fossil fuel consumption and other activities focused on enhancing economic growth, have been identified as the main drivers of changes in the environment that defy planetary boundaries. The transgression of planetary boundaries has profound implications for practically all biophysical and human systems and their impact could also be related to the exacerbation of existing problems such as land tenure insecurity, poverty and inequality, marginalization of poorer populations, climate induced migration, and resource wars or conflicts. From a global South perspective, research on the multifaceted nature of climate change is thus necessary and appropriate, including the analysis of socioeconomic, political and cultural aspects. This book is an outcome of the Comparative Research Workshop on Inequality and Climate Change: Perspectives from the South of the South-South Collaborative Programme of CLACSO-CODESRIA-IDEAS. It gathers a diversity of case studies from the South with ample biophysical differences and particular social and cultural realities. As such, it is a fresh contribution offering a vantage point from which to examine some of the current perspectives on inequality and climate change.

In Touch
Author: Paul BowlesPublisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1466882603
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 772
Book Description
This extraordinary collection of correspondence by Paul Bowles spans eight decades and provides an evolving portrait of an artist renowned for his privacy. From his earliest extant letter, written at the age of four, to his precocious effusions to Aaron Copeland and to Gertrude Stein; from his meditations on mescaline as relayed to Ned Rorem, to his intensely moving letters to Jane Bowles during her illness, In Touch fills in the lacunae left by previous biographers and offers a rare look at the many aspects of Bowles's brilliant career—as composer, novelist, short-story master, travel writer, translator, ethnographer, and literary critic. Here is Bowles on the genesis of his first novel, The Sheltering Sky; on his distaste for Western melodies and his dogged attempts to record indigenous Moroccan music; on the Beats, Gore Vidal, Truman Capote, and Tennessee Williams; on the nature and craft of writing; on Bernardo Bertolucci, David Byrne, and Sting; on the decline of American and the challenges of living in North Africa. Gossipy, reflective, enlightening, and always entertaining, In Touch stands as an epistolary autobiography of one of the legendary writers of our time, and a unique chronicle of the twentieth-century avant-garde.

Book Description
Le parcours de chercheur de Jean-Pierre Chauveau, aussi foisonnant que cohérent, suffirait à justifier l'hommage d'un livre. Au cours de plus de quarante années de recherches, d'enseignements et de débats scientifiques, il a, dans les échanges directs comme par ses écrits, influencé la façon de penser d'une foule de chercheurs et de praticiens du développement. Ses travaux ont jalonné la réflexion sur des dimensions structurantes des processus de développement et de construction mutuelle de la société civile et de l'État en Afrique sub-saharienne. Loin de la paraphrase ou de l'évocation hagiographique, les contributions réunies dans cet ouvrage proposent des mises en dialogue et en débat des analyses de Jean-Pierre Chauveau, parfois aussi des témoignages d'une rencontre marquante. Écrites par des chercheurs d'horizons divers, elles partagent avec leur inspirateur cette curiosité inépuisable pour la dynamique des sociétés africaines confrontées à la "mécanique" du développement, mais aussi, parfois, un certain émoi pour le temple d'un torero, les rebonds voluptueux d'une rumba ou ceux, plus capricieux, du ballon ovale. Cette suite de conversations avec l'oeuvre de Jean-Pierre Chauveau aborde, sur le registre scientifique, sans négliger celui de la "parenté à plaisanterie" qu'il manie avec art, les principales thématiques qui ont balisé une oeuvre dense et multiforme dans les champs de l'anthropologie historique, politique et économique, des études ivoiriennes et africaines, du développement, de l'innovation et de la gouvernance des ressources naturelles. Plus qu'un simple hommage, cet ouvrage s'adresse aux chercheurs et étudiants en sciences sociales, aux praticiens du développement et aux décideurs politiques que ces questions intéressent.
