Summary:

"Just as one of the leading Brazilian intellectuals could do, in Dictionary of human rights and the like, Nei Lopes offers tools to broaden the world reading of researchers, activists, educators and students. More than words printed on paper, the meanings listed here have implications for practical life.The work gathers almost 500 entries that explain, in accessible language, terms related to this vast theoretical and praxis field that assures the dignity to all people, especially those belonging to non-hegemonic groups. And it does this by presenting with the same clarity and depth both popular concepts, such as "periphery", "hate speech" and "samba", and those that circulate more strictly, such as "decoloniality", "democratic rule of law" and "place of speech". It's a book to always have on hand.As Carlos Alberto Medeiros states in his preface, this Dictionary of human rights and the like "could be described as an anti-reactionary manual, capable of transmitting the basic principles to be defended by all those who value harmonious coexistence and mutual support among human beings."" -- Back cover (translated).
