Critically examining narratives of participation in governance and development, this volume adds Caribbean voices and experiences to the global discourse on youth participation. The essays provide empirical case studies of institutions, practices and processes of youth engagement in the politics of Caribbean development, orienting the reader to the political culture of the Caribbean and the position of youth within small societies.Covering experiences at intergovernmental, national and local levels, as well as formal and informal modes of participation, it examines how young people have organised themselves or have been organised to engage with the state and with community agents in politics, public policy and activism. It illustrates the heterogeneity of youth political participation, employing multi- disciplinary, multi- level and mixed- method analyses from the fields of demography, political science, social policy, development studies and youth development. Critical themes addressed include regional governance, democratic representation, online engagement, local governance and community development. In exploring these themes, the book discusses the legitimacy and inclusiveness of governance in relation to age, gender, race, geography and socio-economic status.The findings will be useful to students, researchers and policymakers alike who are keen to improve governance and contribute to inclusive sustainable development in the Caribbean.

"Elena Châavez nos sumerge una vez mâas en las entraänas de un sistema polâitico donde la corrupciâon parece haberse convertido en la norma. A travâes de testimonios contundentes, se pone al descubierto câomo el presidente y sus câomplices han creado intrincados esquemas ilegales en beneficio propio. En esta investigaciâon, la autora aborda casos alarmantes que van desde la Secretarâia de Educaciâon Pâublica, convertida en una escuela de malversaciâon, hasta la policâia transformada en una caja de fondos ilâicitos. Tambiâen explora los coqueteos de la presente administraciâon con el crimen organizado y la destrucciâon de instituciones como Notimex. Ademâas, expone las prâacticas de influyentismo y nepotismo de diversos funcionarios pâublicos, las finanzas inexplicables de la autodenominada "no primera dama" o las actividades extorsionadoras de los hijos del presidente. Sin embargo, el epicentro se sitâua en el robo a los adultos mayores, el programa estandarte de Lâopez Obrador. A pesar de sus condenas de 'pecado social' hacia sus opositores, este libro presenta pruebas de que una de sus operadoras principales tambiâen ha cometido un 'pecado social' al desviar millones de pesos, inflando de manera exponencial el padrâon de beneficiarios. Asâi, esta obra desenmascara al Rey del cash bajo otro nombre, el Gran corruptor, y se constituye como un llamado a la reflexiâon crâitica y una valiente denuncia de los abusos de poder que amenazan el futuro del paâis."--Back cover.

"Los poemas de Lo cortés y lo valiente son pacientes ejercicios de contemplación del mundo. La poesía de Julio Torres-Recinos lleva a su lector por los pasillos familiares del día a día y se asoma a las ventanas de nuestros espacios familiares, para intentar encontrar sentido a un mundo que, por momentos, parece que dejamos de comprender. Como todo buen libro de poemas, la lenta brevedad de este volumen hace contrapeso a un mundo que en su rápido tránsito parece diluir el mundo".Marco Ramírez Rojas, Lehman College/City University of New York"En este nuevo poemario, Julio Torres-Recinos nos ofrece una mirada sensata a los dominios del tiempo, el espacio y la memoria, desplazándose audazmente por sitios naturales, urbanos e imaginarios en momentos de amor y compasión, tanto para rememorar como para escapar a los recuerdos, sin olvidar a quienes viven tiempos difíciles. En una poesía cuyas iteraciones son bien intencionadas el verso abierto se presta fácilmente al ritmo, sin faltar ni la palabra seria ni el sentido del humor".David Rozotto, University of Waterloo, Canadá

A militant reading of struggles and developments in Bolivia form a balance sheet of possibility for a Left program in the country, hemisphere, and the world. Bolivia beyond the Impasse sketches the primary characteristics of the current political, social, and economic situation of Bolivia. Longtime militant researchers Michael Hardt and Sandro Mezzadra explain not only how this situation came about but also the obstacles that confront today’s progressive forces and have led to an impasse. Right-wing political and social forces continue to gain strength and constantly hinder or thwart progressive initiatives. Obstacles also arise from within movements, including the vexed question of leadership, which has increasingly surfaced between Evo Morales as leader of the MAS party and Luis Arce as president of the government. Hardt and Mezzadra do not dwell on these obstacles, however, because they also recognize the extraordinary power and innovation that a new phase of political struggle in Bolivia could unleash beyond the impasse. The current situation, they argue, remains open to new political inventions rooted in the wide range of progressive and revolutionary forces both inside and outside the government and the MAS party. Firmly grounded in the Bolivian situation, Hardt and Mezzadra keep their eye on the Latin American context because they believe that, just as it was twenty years ago, many of today’s most stubborn political and economic obstacles can only be overcome through mechanisms beyond national boundaries, by inventing effective mechanisms of regional cooperation. Although the path forward is not clear and that new and old right-wing forces constitute continuing and increasing threats throughout the region—from Brazil to Argentina and from Colombia to Chile—Hardt and Mezzadra offer a reading of the struggles that form the balance sheet of possibility for a Left program in the country, and consequently the hemisphere, and world. Despite all the threats and obstacles that feed the impasse, however, dynamics of insurgency and struggle continue to resonate and circulate throughout Latin America. As they powerfully demonstrate, discovering how to defend against violent reactionary forces while furthering democratic initiatives and projects for liberation will be a key task for social movements and progressive governments. Bolivia beyond the Impasse makes the claim with passion and rigor that this regional space of political action and innovation is where the potential for moving beyond the impasse is most promising.

A historic and cultural dive into the world of Mexico's most beloved sport

The "revelatory" (The New York Review of Books) story of an ordinary man, his century, and his home. Jamaica Kincaid's first obsession, the island of Antigua, comes vibrantly to life under the gaze of Mr. Potter, an illiterate chauffeur who makes his living along the wide, open roads that pass the only towns he has ever seen. The sun shines squarely overhead, the ocean lies on every side, and suppressed passion fills the air.As Mr. Potter's narrative unfolds in linked vignettes, his story becomes the story of a vital, damaged community. Amid his surroundings, he struggles to live at ease: to purchase a car, to have girlfriends, and to shake off the encumbrance of his daughters-one of whom will return to Antigua after he dies and tell his story with equal measures of distance and sympathy.In Mr. Potter, Kincaid breathes life into a figure unlike any other in contemporary fiction, an individual consciousness emerging gloriously out of an unexamined life.
