In Search for a Decolonizing Actor: Contradictions Between Brazilian State Policies and Social Emancipation of Quilombolas
(2018)
This paper explores the articulations between the present social struggles of Quilombolas (Maroons’ descendants of those who escaped enslavement), state policies, coloniality and global inequality.

(2018-04)

The eurozone crisis has also left its imprint on the European regulatory landscape. Since 2012, the European Commission (EC) has resumed its single financial market agenda ...

Based on the assumption that the outcome of previous events depicts a relevant contextual cue which influences anticipation towards a subsequent event in time-constrained sport situations even in the presence of ...
