Not Just Tourists
In communities around the world, participants in short-term mission trips pour cement, teach children English, provide medical care, and serve meals, seeking to “serve the poor.” Like many tourists, short-term missionaries seek new experiences, personal transformation, and a broader understanding of the world. A number of scholars examining the short-term mission phenomenon have drawn on the substantial theoretical work on tourism to understand a…

Nationally, the image of Argentina as a "European" nation denies the inclusion of indigenous peoples. Moreover, …
Two Steps Back
Depuis la chute du communisme, on assiste en Europe de l'Est a une regression de la position des femmes quant a leur sphere d'activite. A nouveau cantonnees dans les roles traditionnels de femmes au foyer et de meres, ce mouvement apparait comme une vague d'anti-feminisme.
