Ist Assimilation eine reaktionäre Forderung? Der Band unterstreicht die analytische Fruchtbarkeit des Assimilationskonzepts und legt bisher vernachlässigte normative Gehalte frei.Anhand der jüdischen Assimilation und (post-)kolonialen Konstellationen werden Prozesse und Repräsentationen der Verähnlichung und Inkorporierung in ihrer Komplexität, Ambivalenz und Widerspenstigkeit untersucht. Assimilation erscheint dabei als politisches Geschehen, das nicht nur mit polemischen Äußerungsformen verbunden ist, sondern das Sprache selbst zum Gegenstand hat. Statt Eingliederung in eine Monokultur, so wird gezeigt, kann Assimilation auch reziprokes, nicht-hierarchisches Lernen bedeuten und besitzt damit ein interkulturelles Potenzial, das starre Grenzziehungen und Essentialisierungen aufbricht.

En Blancura y otras ficciones, la doctora López Rodríguez se enfoca en un tema que recientemente ha sido más tratado por antropólogos e historiadores que por críticos literarios: la emergencia, en el siglo XIX, de 'tipos' racializados republicanos y de identidades regionales racializadas en Colombia. Lo hace abordando, con inédita precisión, la cuestión de cómo los intelectuales colombianos del período entendieron la 'blancura'. Más específicamente, examina cómo los habitantes de los Andes nororientales fueron 'blanqueados' retóricamente tanto en la escritura de ficción como en las artes visuales, trabajando con textos publicados, canónicos y no canónicos, así como con ilustraciones, complementadas con algunos documentos de archivo. Un proyecto interdisciplinario que aporta sensibilidad y penetración a una gama de materiales y temas que cruzan los habituales límites disciplinarios.Nancy Appelbaum"Este libro desestabiliza nuestro entendimiento del mestizaje en el siglo XIX, tema sobre el cual hemos impuesto un modelo que realmente viene del siglo XX sin examinar los textos y documentos decimonónicos. Mercedes López sustenta claramente un argumento centrado en la importancia de la blancura para esta región, un análisis más matizado de lo que significaban esas categorías para un público escritor decimonónico."

Case studies from cities on five continents demonstrate the advantages of thinking comparatively about urban environments. The global discourse around urban ecology tends to homogenize and universalize, relying on such terms as “smart cities,” “eco-cities,” and “resilience,” and proposing a “science of cities” based largely on information from the Global North. Grounding Urban Natures makes the case for the importance of place and time in understanding urban environments. Rather than imposing a unified framework on the ecology of cities, the contributors use a variety of approaches across a range of of locales and timespans to examine how urban natures are part of—and are shaped by—cities and urbanization. Grounding Urban Natures offers case studies from cities on five continents that demonstrate the advantages of thinking comparatively about urban environments. The contributors consider the diversity of urban natures, analyzing urban ecologies that range from the coastal delta of New Orleans to real estate practices of the urban poor in Lagos. They examine the effect of popular movements on the meanings of urban nature in cities including San Francisco, Delhi, and Berlin. Finally, they explore abstract urban planning models and their global mobility, examining real-world applications in such cities as Cape Town, Baltimore, and the Chinese “eco-city” Yixing.
