Abstract

»Postcolonial studies« haben in den Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften der vergangenen Jahre einen enormen Aufschwung erlebt. Bereits 1947 hat Joseph Höffner die Verdienste der spanischen Spätscholastik um einen menschenwürdigen Umgang mit den Bewohnern der kolonialisierten Gebiete in Süd- und Mittelamerika herausgearbeitet und so zu einem differenzierten Verständnis von Realpolitik und ethischer Refle-xion im 16. Jahrhundert beigetragen. Mit der Monographie »Kolonialismus und Evangelium« führt der vorliegende Band auf eindringliche Weise die Notwendigkeit von historisch sensibler Reflexion und systematischer Entschiedenheit vor Augen, derer es bedarf, wenn die christliche Rede von der »Würde des Menschen« nicht zu einer Leerformel verkommen soll.

Abstract

We try to clarify, from different disciplinary angles, from different theoretical positions, that complex, elusive and often surprising reality in Central America, which continues to challenge us in its diversity, in its pain and its sinuous and perhaps indecipherable hope. We are interested in not only the turbulent past of the region; its present — promising or unsettling — is certainly at the center of our attention.

Abstract

From a storefront law office in the US border city of El Paso, Texas, one man set out to tear down the great wall of indifference raised between the US and Mexico. Carlos Spector has filed hundreds of political asylum cases on behalf of human rights defenders, journalists, and political dissidents. Though his legal activism has only inched the process forward -- 98 percent of refugees from Mexico are still denied asylum -- his myriad legal cases and the resultant media fallout has increasingly put US immigration policy, the corrupt state of Mexico, and the political basis of immigration, asylum, and deportation decisions on the spot. We Built the Wall is an immersive, engrossing look at the new front in the immigration wars. It follows the gripping stories of people like Saúl Reyes, forced to flee his home after a drug cartel murdered several members of his family, and Delmy Calderón, a forty-two-year-old woman leading an eight-woman hunger strike in an El Paso detention center. Truax tracks the heart-wrenching trials of refugees like Yamil, the husband and father who chose a prison cell over deportation to Mexico, and Rocio Hernández, a nineteen-year-old who spent nearly her entire life in Texas and is now forced to live in a city where narcotraffickers operate with absolute impunity.

Abstract

Today's urban environments face ever-increasing flows of human movement, natural disasters, and iterative economic crises. In response, city planning has developed innovative, hybrid forms that go beyond conventional ways of planning. Integrating practices of other disciplines, planning has become increasingly intricate and at the same time dependent on the cross fertilization of data, ideas, and actions across economies, societies, and geographies. This richly illustrated book of edited essays aims at introducing new approaches towards the planning of cities across the world, including Central and South America, Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia. Covering demographically, politically, culturally, and socially diverse regions, it not only examines the use of conventional planning tools, but also explores more experimental and cross-disciplinary approaches of urban planning.
