Abstract

"The Religion of Life examines the interconnections and relationship between Catholicism and eugenics in early twentieth-century Chile. Specifically, it demonstrates that the popularity of eugenic science was not diminished by the influence of Catholicism there. In fact, both eugenics and Catholicism worked together to construct the concept of a unique Chilean race, la raza chilena. A major factor that facilitated this conceptual overlap was a generalized belief among historical actors that male and female gender roles were biologically determined and therefore essential to a functioning society. As the first English-language study of eugenics in Chile, The Religion of Life surveys a wide variety of different materials (periodicals, newspapers, medical theses, and monographs) produced by Catholic and secular intellectuals from the first half of the twentieth century. What emerges from this examination is not only a more complex rendering of the relationship between religion and science but also the development of White supremacist logics in a Latin American context." -- Amazon

Abstract

This book explores contemporary cultural, historical and geopolitical connections between Latin America and Australia from an interdisciplinary perspective. It seeks to capitalise on scholarly developments and further unsettle the multiple divides created by the North-South axis by focusing on processes of translocal connectivities that link Australia with Latin America. The authors conceptualise the South-South not as a defined geographic space with clear boundaries, but rather as a mobile terrain with multiple, evolving and overlapping translocal processes. Fernanda Peñaloza is Senior Lecturer in Latin American Studies and Chair of the Department of Spanish and Latin American Studies at the University of Sydney. Sarah Walsh is Teaching Fellow in the Department of History at Washington State University, USA.

Abstract

Dit boek bevat vijftig inspirerende verhalen over kinderen uit allerlei landen en van alle tijden die de wereld een beetje beter maakten. Er zitten dromers bij, denkers, doeners, vechters en makers, supersterren en onbekende helden. Zij gaven niet op, zetten door en maakten dingen mogelijk. Het boek bestaat uit vijf delen: knappe koplopers, waaronder uitvinders en activisten (Pascal, Greta Thunberg); creatieve geesten, zoals Mozart, Picasso en Louis Braille; hoopvolle helden, zoals de dappere voorvechtster voor vrouwenrechten Malala; sterke overwinnaars (vooral uit de sportwereld) en dappere strijders (voor gelijke rechten en beter onderwijs). Sommige kinderen moesten overleven in moeilijke omstandigheden, anderen namen de leiding toen niemand anders iets deed. Ook zijn er kinderen bij met een groot talent. Hun levensverhaal wordt aangevuld met citaten, kleurenfoto?s en kleurrijke illustraties van allerlei afmetingen. Achter in het boek zijn miniatuurportretten van alle kinderen opgenomen met naam, geboorte- en sterfjaar. Mooi verzorgde uitgave met voorwoord, woordenlijst en register. In dezelfde opzet verscheen o.a. 'Wereldvrouwen : 50 vrouwen en meisjes die het verschil maakten'* (2018). Inspirerende uitgave, vanaf ca. 10 t/m 13 jaar.S.E. van Zonneveld© NBD Biblion
