Folkloric Poverty
The &“technocratic revolution&” that ushered in the age of neoliberalism in Mexico under the presidency of Carlos Salinas (1988&–1994) helped create the conditions for, and the constraints on, a resurgence of activism among the indigenous communities of Mexico. This resurgence was given further impetus by the protests in 1992 against the official celebration of the five hundredth anniversary of Columbus&’s landing in America and by the Zapatista uprising in Chiapas in 1994.

Histories of Drug Trafficking in Twentieth-century Mexico
This work brings together a new generation of drug historians and new historical sources to uncover the history of the drug trade and its regulations. While the US and Mexican governments developed anti-drug discourses and policies, which criminalized both high-profile traffickers and small-time addicts, these authorities also employed the criminals and cash connected to the drug trade to pursue more pressing political concerns. The politics, socioeconomic relations, and criminal justice system of modern Mexico has been shaped by standing public and covert state policies as well as by the interaction of subnational trajectories of drug production and trafficking. The essays in this study explore this complicated narrative and provide insight into Mexico's history and the wider contemporary global drug trade.

Reproducción campesina, migración y agroindustria en Tierra Caliente, Guerrero
Esta obra se puede enmarcar dentro de una nueva concepción teórica de interpretación del campesinado en torno al concepto de la reproducción social, viejo concepto que hoy adquiere nuevas connotaciones frente a los procesos de la globalización y que abren una nueva perspectiva a la realidad social, que integra a toda la sociedad, en este caso se analiza, el papel de los campesinos en ese proceso. El punto de partida no es un modelo teórico preestablecido donde se desea entrar y demostrar su encuadre de una realidad, sino que se parte del estudio de las prácticas y actividades en un espacio concreto que realiza un grupo para sobrevivir y reproducirse. Su aporte consiste en estudiar y explicar una realidad a partir de los procesos y de las actividades que realizan esos grupos sociales, acotados entre las posibilidades y limitaciones de realizar un proyecto, cualquiera que este sea, y la voluntad de efectuarlo (entre libertad del individuo y restricción social, entre lo deseable y lo posible).
