Biography of a Hacienda
Winner, James Deetz Book Award (Society for Historical Archaeology) Biography of a Hacienda is a many-voiced reconstruction of events leading up to the Mexican Revolution and the legacy that remains to the present day. Drawing on ethnohistorical, archaeological, and ethnographic data, Elizabeth Terese Newman creates a fascinating model of the interplay between the great events of the Revolution and the lives of everyday people. In 1910 the Mexican Revolution erupted out of a century of tension surrounding land ownership and control over labor.

Cerámica Y Cultura
By examining both historic and contemporary examples, the editors move discussion of the enameled earthenware known as mayolica beyond its stylistic merits in order to understand it in historic and cultural context. It places the ceramics in history and daily life, illustrating their place in trade and economics.
Escritura de Nuu Dzaui
This book offers a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the development of writing in the region of Ñuu Dzaui (the Mixtec people in Southern Mexico) from its earliest manifestations up to the present. Specialist essays (mostly in English, some in Spanish) present new archeological data, contribute to the decipherment of precolonial pictorial manuscripts, and analyze historical documents written in Mesoamerican languages during the colonial period. From this diachronic perspective much attention is given to the changing social contexts as well as to methodological and interpretive issues. In addition, contemporary projects are discussed, which register oral tradition, create space for native languages within the national school system, and produce new poetic works. The inclusion of two Mixtec documentary films on a inserted dvd provokes important comments on the representation of indigenous American cultures in general.

Generals in the Palacio
While there is considerable literature on civilian-military relations worldwide, there is as yet no study of the Mexican military. Despite their intense desire to remain unexamined, Camp's portrait of the Mexican military from 1946 to 1990 takes us inside their world to examine their values, relationships, backgrounds, education, and promotion patterns, and considers these findings in the context of Mexican society and politics. Camp provides fresh empirical data for testing claims concerning civil-military relations worldwide.

A Texas-Mexican Cancionero
The folksongs of Texas's Mexican population pulsate with the lives of folk heroes, gringos, smugglers, generals, jailbirds, and beautiful women. In his cancionero, or songbook, Américo Paredes presents sixty-six of these songs in bilingual text—along with their music, notes on tempo and performance, and discography. Manuel Peña's new foreword situates these songs within the main currents of Mexican American music.
Teotihuacan, ciudad excepcional de Mesoamérica
En esta obra, donde se condensan más de cuatro décadas de trabajo multidisciplinario dedicado a la comprensión de Teotihuacan, se presenta una breve historia de dicha urbe así como los descubrimientos más recientes que se han hecho en torno a su organización política, cultural, religiosa, social y económica. Cada tópico se plantea de manera amena y fluida, haciéndola asequible al lector tanto común como especializado. En sus páginas se puede apreciar la excepcionalidad de esta ciudad mesoamericana, “por su magnitud, su planificación, su estructura corporativa, y por el esfuerzo invertido en construirse a sí misma como la Tollan por excelencia”, como dice la doctora Manzanilla Naim.
