Power and Pilgrimage is an in-depth anthropological study of life at a Bolivian pilgrimage site. It focuses on the experiences of pilgrims and how, in their Marian devotion, they express and learn to live with the various inequalities they experience in everyday life. Issues of poverty and class inequality lead them to approach the Virgin of Urkupina to support them in their quest for economic betterment. Another social inequality that comes to the fore is based on gender: in particular Bolivian women seek Mary's support to deal with violence and oppression in their homes. Finally, ethnic inequalities are discussed by analysing the dance processions in honour of the Virgin, since these reflect contested ethnic identities.

Several authors analyze the economic and health costs imposed by domestic violence, documenting that domestic violence is both a serious public health issue and a severe impediment to economic development. Others examine promising approaches that have been used to combat domestic violence, including community treatment and prevention networks, telephone hotlines, judicial and police reform, anti-violence curricula in primary and secondary schools, street theatre, and creative use of the mass media. The book is based on the 1997 IDB conference, Domestic Violence in Latin America and the Caribbean: Costs, Programs and Policies.

Esta historia es una de las tantas que suceden en el mundo. La tuya pudiera ser la próxima en escribirse. En ella veras las diferentes caras del sufrir. Historias como estas nunca terminan. Día a día se repiten en multitudes de seres humanos quienes diariamente padecen aflicciones y calamidades. La historia de Ruthie no es la única; todos tenemos también una historia que contar. Este libro te pondrá los "pelos de punta" a medida que leas y vayas descubriendo lo que la vida le ha dado a esta humilde mujer. Muchos de nosotros de una manera u otra hemos sido víctimas del sufrir y de los defectos que este deja; en el caso de Ruthie, los efectos son más que dolorosos. Sus sufrimientos te tocaran el alma. La palabra sufrir se quedará corta cuando veas el despliegue de tormentas y ataques que la vida misma ha hecho contra ella. Lee este libro detalladamente y veras que no estoy exagerando. Sé parte de esta historia e identifícate con el personaje para que tú también seas testigo de los atropellos que se atreve hacer el sufrir y de los rastros que éste deja. Entérate si el sufrimiento de Ruthie se convierte al fin y al cabo en felicidad; si ella le gana la batalla a la vida; si ella le da un adiós definitivo al sufrimiento, o una acogedora bienvenida a la felicidad. Su fe y perseverancia en Dios le da esperanza; pero aun la pregunta original queda en el aire: ¿Terminarán algún día los Sufrimientos de Ruthie? Eso sólo la sabe Dios.

The shift from response to recovery is now noticeable as the world moves past the paralyzing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. This book explores responses to the pandemic by international, regional, and local institutions, multilateral action, and crisis prevention efforts at different levels of governance, with a specific focus on the situation of women and children. The contributions in this volume address novel topics and expand the analysis to the different challenges faced by women and children, linking these to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, to create a holistic view of the true impact of the pandemic. The focus on international and regional cooperation provides further insights on how management of the COVID-19-induced crisis can be altered and improved. Immediate effects of the pandemic were focused on healthcare, but long-term and knock-on effects spread to different societal sectors and must be analyzed to ensure they will be addressed and, ultimately, resolved.
