Acupuntura en la Ciudad
En este libro se analiza la situación actual de las Fábricas de Artes y Oficios de la Ciudad de México. Estas fábricas constituyen una de las políticas culturales más exitosas en nuestro país. La primera de ellas abrió sus puertas hace 18 años en el Oriente de la Ciudad de México. Posteriormente se inauguraron cuatro más que se articularon en la Red de Faros de la Ciudad de México. Al publicarse este libro, dos más están construcción. Esta expansión se debe a su éxito pero también implica hacer un corte de caja para dar cuenta de sus alcances y limitaciones, pero sobre todo para intentar aprehender el modelo de atención e intervención cultural que en ellas opera con diferentes matices. Este libro no es un manual; ante todo es un ejercicio reflexivo cuyo objetivo central es contribuir a la consolidación y expansión de estas fábricas que además de descentralizar la cultura inciden directamente en la construcción de ciudadanías plenas, tan necesarias y fundamentales para la democracia mexicana.

Why INEGI? The saga of a Mexican institution in search of the truth
The book presents the National Institute of Statistics and Geography, what is and how it has developed over time, since it was founded in 1983. The Institute is today an eminently technical and at the same time autonomous body of the Mexican State.Beyond a chronology of events, this book raises two needs that have marked the Institute's evolution: the first, to properly measure the many components of reality, whether social, economic or natural; and the second, decisive for the public's trust and whose absence would invalidate the purposes of the previous need, to preserve the information from any consideration, other than strictly professional, in all stages of its production and dissemination.This work conveys INEGI's transcendence as an indispensable institution for the country to respond to the fundamental question, common to all human beings: to know and understand the reality of their environment.
The Broken Spears
For hundreds of years, the history of the conquest of Mexico and the defeat of the Aztecs has been told in the words of the Spanish victors. Miguel León-Portilla has long been at the forefront of expanding that history to include the voices of indigenous peoples. In this new and updated edition of his classic The Broken Spears, León-Portilla has included accounts from native Aztec descendants across the centuries. These texts bear witness to the extraordinary vitality of an oral tradition that preserves the viewpoints of the vanquished instead of the victors. León-Portilla's new Postscript reflects upon the critical importance of these unexpected historical accounts.
Mexico's Disappeared
"This 176-page report documents nearly 250 "disappearances" during the administration of former President Felipe Calderón, from December 2006 to December 2012. In 149 of those cases, Human Rights Watch found compelling evidence of enforced disappearances, involving the participation of state agents."--Publisher's website.
Terrorizing Women
More than 600 women and girls have been murdered and more than 1,000 have disappeared in the Mexican state of Chihuahua since 1993. Violence against women has increased throughout Mexico and in other countries, including Argentina, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Peru. Law enforcement officials have often failed or refused to undertake investigations and prosecutions, creating a climate of impunity for perpetrators and denying truth and justice to survivors of violence and victims’ relatives. Terrorizing Women is an impassioned yet rigorously analytical response to the escalation in violence against women in Latin America during the past two decades. It is part of a feminist effort to categoriz...
The Zapatista Movement and Mexico's Democratic Transition
Transitions from authoritarian to democratic governments can provide ripe scenarios for the emergence of new, insurgent political actors and causes. During peaceful transitions, such movements may become influential political players and gain representation for previously neglected interests and sectors of the population. But for this to happen, insurgent social movements need opportunities for mobilization, success, and survival. This book looks at Mexico's Zapatista movement, and why the movement was able to mobilize sympathy and support for the indigenous agenda inside and outside of the country, yet failed to achieve their goals vis-à-vis the Mexican state.
