"We Are Now the True Spaniards"
This book is a radical reinterpretation of the process that led to Mexican independence in 1821—one that emphasizes Mexico's continuity with Spanish political culture. During its final decades under Spanish rule, New Spain was the most populous, richest, and most developed part of the worldwide Spanish Monarchy, and most novohispanos (people of New Spain) believed that their religious, social, economic, and political ties to the Monarchy made union preferable to separation. Neither the American nor the French Revolution convinced the novohispanos to sever ties with the Spanish Monarchy; nor did the Hidalgo Revolt of September 1810 and subsequent insurgencies cause Mexican independence. It was Napoleon's invasion of Spain in 1808 that led to the Hispanic Constitution of 1812. When the government in Spain rejected those new constituted arrangements, Mexico declared independence. The Mexican Constitution of 1824 affirms both the new state's independence and its continuance of Spanish political culture.
The Ancient Maya of Mexico
The archaeological sites of Mexico's Yucatan peninsula are among the most visited ancient cities of the Americas. Archaeologists have recently made great advances in our understanding of the social and political milieu of the northern Maya lowlands. However, such advances have been under-represented in both scholarly and popular literature until now. 'The Ancient Maya of Mexico' presents the results of new and important archaeological, epigraphic, and art historical research in the Mexican states of Yucatan, Campeche, and Quintana Roo. Ranging across the Middle Preclassic to the Modern periods, the volume explores how new archaeological data has transformed our understanding of Maya history. 'The Ancient Maya of Mexico' will be invaluable to students and scholars of archaeology and anthropology, and all those interested in the society, rituals and economic organisation of the Maya region.

De costumbres y leyes
Los expedientes judiciales analizados en esta investigación desnudan los conflictos originados a partir de la implementación de una serie de mecanismos idealizados para defender la propiedad privada y cambiar el comportamiento de los sujetos históricos implicados en este proceso de "racionalización" de la vida económica y social. A partir de esta documentación se pudo vislumbrar cuáles eran los intereses materiales que el Estado y sus medios coactivos deberían proteger y quiénes fueron sus infractores. En este aspecto, ciertas demandas judiciales remiten a un problema más complejo que el delito en sí. Revelan más bien un choque entre distintos patrones y valores sociales y diferentes concepciones acerca de lo lícito e ilícito, justo e injusto, legal e ilegal, en otras palabras, revelan una confrontación entre los usos y costumbres locales y la justicia formal.

Nosotros somos ahora los verdaderos españoles
Este libro estudia el complejo proceso que derivó en la independencia de México y la formación de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos. Se trata de un nuevo enfoque respecto de la independencia en 1821. La presente obra desafía la perspectiva de la mayor parte de la literatura especializada. En ella se plantea que la transformación política en la monarquía española universal -que se aceleró tras la invasión francesa a España en 1808 y que culminó en la constitución hispánica de 1812, promulgada por las Cortes de Cádiz, y con las instituciones de gobierno autónomo que dicha Carta estableció, constituyó la revolución fundamental. El estudio que se presenta propone que las insurgenci...
