Islam, Muslims, and the Coloniality of Being: Reframing the Debate on Race and Religion in Modernity by Iskander Abbasi

“…Two areas of concern are investigated: First, how Islamophobia aided in forming the coloniality of being in ways that decolo-nial scholarship – namely that of leading Latin American decolonial thinker, Nelson Maldonado-Torres – is seemingly unaware of or downplays, and second, how a rereading of a number of the key events and figures that define a decolonial discourse on race and religion, such as the Valladolid debates (1550-1551) and the figure of Christopher Columbus, help to more rigorously conceptualize the figure of the Muslim in relation to the coloniality of being. …”

Desenvolvimento econômico e satisfação com a democracia: uma análise da América Latina by Roberta Carnelos Resende, Sara de Sousa Fernandes Epitácio

“…The main goal of this work is to find out in which way the satisfaction with democracy can be associated with the level of economic development of the Latin American countries (1997-2009).

Tourism Public Policies in Brazil (2003-2011): between Neoliberalism and Neodevelopmentalism by Larissa Prado Rodrigues, Cristiane Alcantara de Jesus Santos, Antonio Carlos Campos

“…Neoliberal policies in Brazil were introduced in the political-economic scenario from the 1990s onwards, inciting a late neoliberalization process in the country comparing to Latin American scenario.
