Transitions to School: Perspectives and Experiences from Latin America
This book showcases the quality work that Latin American researchers have done on transition to school in Latin American countries by offering the English-speaking world, first-hand access to some Latin American transitions research, practices, and policies. This book shows the work carried out in countries such as Brazil, Chile, Cuba, and Mexico with regards to the way in which the transition to primary school is experienced from different stakeholders' perspectives, and how Latin American educational policies and cultural practices shape such an important process for stakeholders. This book was importantly framed by the COVID-19 pandemic which placed the world in a global health emergency,...

Embodying Mexico
Embodying Mexico examines two performative icons of Mexicanness--the Dance of the Old Men and Night of the Dead of Lake Pátzcuaro--in numerous manifestations, including film, theater, tourist guides, advertisements, and souvenirs. Covering a ninety-year period from the postrevolutionary era to the present day, Hellier-Tinoco's analysis is thoroughly grounded in Mexican politics and history, and simultaneously incorporates choreographic, musicological, and dramaturgical analysis. Exploring multiple contexts in Mexico, the USA, and Europe, Embodying Mexico expands and enriches our understanding of complex processes of creating national icons, performance repertoires, and tourist attractions, drawing on wide-ranging ethnographic, archival, and participatory experience. An extensive companion website illustrates the author's arguments through audio and video.
Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
Batallas de Michoacán
José Gil Olmos El presente libro parte de un intento por responder preguntas elementales: por qué surgió el fenómeno de las autodefensas y por qué en Tierra Caliente y, al mismo tiempo, desbrozar el confuso panorama de Michoacán. Se pretende dar algunos elementos para entender que se trata de una tierra tradicionalmente productora de drogas (marihuana y opio), en la que ha emergido un actor dentro de un escenario de por sí complejo: se trata de las autoridades ciudadanas, que llegaron a inspirar a pueblos y comunidades de otros estados a tomar en sus manos las armas para protegerse y, en algunos casos, establecer su propio sistema de justicia.
Los Diputados Regionales de Castilla-La Mancha (1983-2019)
Este trabajo constituye una contribución al conocimiento de la representación política parlamentaria, un análisis que pretende desbordar los límites de la exposición biográfica para convertirse en una aportación a la historia de la región castellanomanchega y del Estado en su conjunto. Desde este punto de vista, el objetivo de esta investigación se ha centrado en examinar en todos sus matices, humanos y políticos, al colectivo compuesto por los diputados regionales presentes en las Cortes de Castilla-La Mancha desde 1983 a 2019. Se contienen aquí las biografías de 301 representantes, aquellos que por su condición de diputados autonómicos han ejercido un protagonismo de especial relevancia en el afianzamiento y el desarrollo del autogobierno político en la Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla-La Mancha. Se configura, por tanto, como un análisis social de la política a través de algunos de sus más importantes actores, tomando como opción metodológica el estudio biográfico y prosopográfico. Una orientación que ubica esta obra en las corrientes actuales de los estudios históricos y en el interés de la sociedad por la vida de las personas.
Popular Piety and Political Identity in Mexico's Cristero Rebellion
Dr Butler provides a new interpretation of the cristero war (1926-29) which divided Mexico's peasantry into rival camps loyal to the Catholic Church (cristero) or the Revolution (agrarista). This book puts religion at the heart of our understanding of the revolt by showing how peasant allegiances often resulted from genuinely popular cultural and religious antagonisms. It challenges the assumption that Mexican peasants in the 1920s shared religious outlooks and that their behaviour was mainly driven by political and material factors. Focusing on the state of Michoacán in western-central Mexico, the volume seeks to integrate both cultural and structural lines of inquiry. First charting the u...
