Book series: Conviviality in Dispute

The result of interdisciplinary and collaborative research carried out by Mecila, the collection is based on a central question: how do human beings relate to one another and to other living beings in profoundly diverse and unequal societies?

Building on the understanding that conviviality and inequality are mutually constitutive, these books offer a critical reflection on the challenges of sharing spaces, rights and a common future in contexts marked by historical asymmetries and contemporary conflicts. Bringing together theoretical reflections and empirical studies, the series offers new perspectives for understanding the disputes, negotiations and forms of coexistence that have shaped Latin America’s past and present.

The Book Series Convivialidade em disputa  is the result of a collaboration between Mecila and Editora Hucitec.
