"De que temos medo no nosso confronto com as grandes urbes? Que figuras da ameaça convocam receios e evitamentos de espaços, grupos ou indivíduos específicos? Como molda a hipótese predatória o viver quotidiano, como se reflete o rumor insecurizante na nossa experiência de cidade? A Imagem Predatória da Cidade: Uma Etnografia do Medo é o livro que resulta da tese de doutoramento de Ximene Rego. Um trabalho a vários títulos singular: porque é uma etnografia levada a cabo por uma psicóloga, porque traz para a prática etnográfica um objeto aparentemente intangível como o sentimento de insegurança, porque põe frente a frente o medo à cidade nos portuenses e nos cariocas, com a investigação conduzida no Porto e no Rio de Janeiro. O rigor metodológico e a profundidade do trabalho de campo, a ampla discussão de um objeto tecido no cruzamento da antropologia, da sociologia, da criminologia e da psicologia, bem como uma escrita cuja firmeza não dispensa a elegância são a marca que Ximene Rego traz para a análise dos fenómenos urbanos que nos inquietam e fascinam. Fascínio é também aquilo de que são capazes as páginas deste livro, se nos deixarmos embrenhar na narrativa sobre o medo à cidade que elas nos propõem", Luís Fernandes.

This book addresses the constitutional journey of religious minorities in modern Turkey, specifically the Lausanne minorities, who have been both coded and blacklisted in the official records for decades. It focuses on the non-Muslim citizens who have maintained their lives with confidential codes without knowing that these codes have been instrumentally used for strategic purposes. In spite of such discriminatory practices, they are on the way to a new democratic and civil constitution. It is significant to note that this will be their first constitutional experience in post-republic history.The first book to document the role of religious minorities in constitution making in modern Turkey, it lists recent discussions and findings on this controversial process. One of the important findings of this study is that government-led initiatives endeavouring to be inclusive have had the opposite effect.

This collection of essays, Protecting the human rights of sexual minorities in contemporary Africa, contains papers that were first presented at a colloquium on sexual minority rights in Africa, which took place at the Centre for Human Rights, University of Pretoria, in December 2014. This event was made possible with the generous support of the Government of the Kingdom of Norway, through its Embassy in South Africa. These papers were subsequently peer-reviewed and reworked. Viewing homosexuality through a legal and rights-based prism, this volume brings together fourteen essays focusing on various aspects of homosexuality, covering a wide rage of countries from across the continent. The situation in nine countries (Botswana, Cameroon, Kenya, Mauritius, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda and Zimbabwe) is reviewed; while other contributions are more regional in their perspective. This makes this publication one of the most comprehensive collections of African voices on this topic. For too long African voices have been silent on the fledgling discourse on sexual minorities. This volume seeks to amend this shortcoming. The editors and authors and contributors are not only African, but also, with a few exceptions, graduates of the Centre’s Master’s programme in Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa. The publisher is an African-based publisher, the Pretoria University Law Press (PULP), based at the Centre for Human Rights.

The new settlements were based on the prin...
