Dynamics and Conflicts in a Cross-Border Region
This volume explores several issues pertinent to the history of the cross-border region between Mexico, Guatemala and Belize from new explanatory approaches in order to reflect on a history and a reality that are shared by three neighbouring societies, emphasizing the actors and local practices that shape cross-border dynamics. This analysis is contributed by eight specialists who study aspects that are fundamental to our understanding of a process involving various persons and institutions in a specific space. Dynamics and Conflicts in a Cross-Border Region addresses an issue of current relevance through studies that focus on the problems inhabitants of the region have faced over the years:...
Expresiones políticas, materiales y simbólicas de los procesos reformistas “liberales en Iberoamérica” durante el siglo XIX
El volumen que se presenta reúne una serie de trabajos escritos por especialistas de diversas instituciones académicas y científicas procedentes de distintos países iberoamericanos. Fueron convocados bajo una consigna general muy amplia. La idea era que este volumen tratara problemáticas relativas a lo que los procesos independentistas habían dejado o traído consigo. Dicha convocatoria fue decantando en la cuestión de las reformas genéricamente denominadas liberales por la historiografía y en cómo éstas se fueron plasmando en diversas fases y momentos en cada una de las sociedades emergentes después de las revoluciones. En ese sentido, el volumen está formado por capítulos que abordan diversas problemáticas locales y globales de los territorios del imperio español y lusitano, a partir de la crisis de las respectivas Monarquías y durante todo el siglo XIX
Experiencias de salvaguardia del patrimonio cultural inmaterial
Este es un libro en el que confluyen múltiples miradas, voces y plumas para abordar un tema en común: el patrimonio cultural inmaterial y su salvaguardia. En 2013 se llevó a cabo el "II Congreso Internacional sobre Experiencias en la Salvaguardia del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial" en la ciudad de Zacatecas. Algunas de las 134 ponencias allí presentadas dieron origen a los capítulos de este libro. De esta manera, se consolida la práctica de coordinar esfuerzos para la difusión de algunas de las múltiples experiencias que se realizan tanto desde el ámbito académico como desde diversas instituciones públicas, en materia de salvaguardia del PCI. Una de las características principale...
Dictablanda
In 1910 Mexicans rebelled against an imperfect dictatorship; after 1940 they ended up with what some called the perfect dictatorship. A single party ruled Mexico for over seventy years, holding elections and talking about revolution while overseeing one of the world's most inequitable economies. The contributors to this groundbreaking collection revise earlier interpretations, arguing that state power was not based exclusively on hegemony, corporatism, or violence. Force was real, but it was also exercised by the ruled. It went hand-in-hand with consent, produced by resource regulation, political pragmatism, local autonomies and a popular veto. The result was a dictablanda: a soft authoritar...
Advances in Food Bioproducts and Bioprocessing Technologies
The book explores and exploits the synergy and boundary between biotechnology, bioprocessing and food engineering. Divided into three parts, Advances in Food Bioproducts and Bioprocessing Technologies includes contributions that deal with new developments in procedures, bioproducts, and bioprocesses that can be given quantitative expression. Its 40 chapters will describe how research results can be used in engineering design, include procedures to produce food additives and ingredients, and discuss accounts of experimental or theoretical research and recent advances in food bioproducts and bioprocessing technologies.
Indigenous Peoples in Isolation in the Peruvian Amazon
"This book offers a historic and anthropological perspective from which to understand the fragility of isolated indigenous groups in the face of contact with outside society. It helps us appreciate the importance, in terms of cultural and biological diversity, of safeguarding their territories for both their future and that of the human race." "Drawing on scientific and legal principles, international agreements, and primarily from the perspective of human rights, Beatriz Huertas Castillo presents solid arguments concerning the urgent need for national and international efforts to defend the territories, cultural integrity and life ways of isolated indigenous peoples."--BOOK JACKET.
Cuba
In Cuba, internationally renowned artists, philosophers, and writers reflect on the idea of a nation displaced. Featuring contributions from Isabel Alvarez Borland, Antonio Benítez-Rojo, María Cristina García, William Navarrete, Eliana Rivero, Rafael Rojas, and Carlos Victoria, as well as many others, Cuba is a rich collection of essays, testimonials, and interviews that reveal the complex, often antagonistic cultural and political debates coexisting within the Cuban exile population. As a multivoiced text, Cuba formulates a deeper understanding of diasporic identity, and broadens the discussion of the manner in which Cuban cultural identity and nationhood have been constructed, negotiated, and transformed by physical and cultural displacement.
