"The Iberian world played a key role in the global trade of enslaved people from the 15th century onwards. Scholars of Iberian forms of slavery face challenges accessing the subjectivity of the enslaved, given the scarcity of autobiographical sources. This book offers a compelling example of innovative methodologies that draw on alternative archives and documents, such as inquisitorial and trial records, to examine enslaved individuals' and collective subjectivities under Iberian political dominion. It explores themes such as race, gender, labour, social mobility and emancipation, religion, and politics, shedding light on the lived experiences of those enslaved in the Iberian world from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic. Contributors are: Sophia Blea Nuñez, Magdalena Candioti, Patricia Faria e Souza, James Fujitani, João José dos Reis, Michel Kabalan, Silvia Lara, Marta Macedo, Hebe Mattos, Michelle McKinley, Robson Pedroso Costa, Fernanda Pinheiro, Rômulo da Silva Ehalt, Lisa Surwillo, Miguel Valerio and Lisa Voigt"

In his monumental On Justice and Rights, the Jesuit Luis de Molina (1535-1600) discussed the legal and ethical aspects of the Portuguese trade in African and Asian enslaved persons. Molina surveys, develops, and problematizes the criteria necessary for the legitimate possession, sale, and purchase of human freedom. He insists that, even under legally valid slavery, persons who have sold or lost their freedom have inalienable rights as human beings, such as the freedom to make contracts, to marry, and even, under certain circumstances, to sue their owners in court. Molina also devotes attention to the ways in which slavery could be ended and whether and under what circumstances slaves had the right to escape from their owners. Well informed about the political structures and customs of many peoples in Africa, as well as Japan, China, and India, Molina paints a vivid and detailed picture of Portuguese trade. He gives specific accounts of the origins and development of the slave trade, region by region, and of the nature of the relationship between local rulers and the Portuguese kingdom. In doing so, he carefully describes the deception, coercion, and general indifference that pervades this trade regarding the rights to freedom of these people. It also attempts to identify the political, ecclesiastical, and market agents involved in this great injustice and their varying degrees of culpability. While Molina does not condemn slavery as a legal institution, the deeply flawed and even immoral behavior of sellers, buyers, regulators, and political rulers both in Portugal and in the slave-supplying regions that Molina denounces casts a heavy shadow on the morality of the trade.

Le seul livre récent sur le travail de rue. Coordonné par des praticiens-formateurs, cet ouvrage s’adresse aux intervenants de rue, aux étudiants en travail social et en santé, et aux décideurs. Il articule la présentation de pratiques de terrain avec des prises de recul, des analyses et des propositions.Le travail de rue est une constellation du travail social, au caractère particulièrement fédérateur : santé, social, humanitaire, médiation, accompagnement éducatif… se trouvent impliqués. En effet, il s’agit d’aller vers les usagers où ils sont et comme ils sont, et parfois vers des personnes qui n’ont rien demandé, pour leur proposer une attention, une écoute, un service, un accompagnement… Ce travail se fait en public, dans la rue, sous le regard de tous.Cet ouvrage répond à des questions pratiques : comment initier une action de rue ? Avec quels partenaires ? Comment y travailler la santé somatique et la santé mentale ? Quels liens avec la problématique du logement ? Y a-t-il des publics « particuliers » : mineurs, femmes ? Comment faire avec la non-demande ? Quelles places pour les bénévoles et les travailleurs-pairs ? Comment se positionner, avec quelle distance et/ou quelle proximité ? Comment s’y former, comment y former ?Des témoignages d’équipes de rue sont croisés avec les analyses et les propositions des auteurs de l’ouvrage, formateurs et praticiens expérimentés.
