Scientia Global Editions: CLAEC e-Books
Scientia International Press, in partnership with Editora CLAEC (Centro Latino-Americano de Estudos em Cultura), announces the Call for Chapters for the collective volume:
Amazonian Emergencies: Conflicts, Resistances, and Reexistences
This book is part of the Scientia Global Editions: CLAEC e-Books collection and invites critical, interdisciplinary, and engaged contributions addressing the multiple crises, conflicts, and forms of resistance shaping the contemporary Amazons.
About the Book
The volume seeks to bring together researchers, educators, activists, and public policy practitioners interested in the socioenvironmental, territorial, and political dynamics of the Amazonian regions.
Contributions should critically examine the structural violence, extractivist pressures, and militarized governance affecting the Amazons, while also highlighting forms of resistance, reexistence, and ontological alternatives developed by Indigenous peoples, traditional communities, and environmental movements.
The book welcomes theoretical, empirical, methodological, and reflective chapters grounded in the Social Sciences, Humanities, Education, Environmental Studies, and related fields.
