An Impossible Living in a Transborder World
They are known as cundinas or tandas in Mexico, and for many people these local savings-and-loan operations play an indispensable role in the struggle to succeed in today’s transborder economy. With this extensively researched book, Carlos Vélez-Ibáñez updates and expands upon his major 1983 study of rotating savings and credit associations (ROSCAs), incorporating new data that reflect the explosion of Mexican-origin populations in the United States. Much more than a study of one economic phenomenon though, the book examines the way in which these practices are part of greater transnational economies and how these populations engage in—and suffer through—the twenty-first century glo...
Rituals of Marginality
In this political ethnography of the "marginalized" population of Netzahuacoyotl Izcalli, the fourth largest city in Mexico, Carlos V�lez-Iba�ez shows that although marginalized groups seldom emerge the clear winners of political struggles, they gain a sense of autonomy and social power that can never be erased.
Reflections of a Transborder Anthropologist
Taking us on a journey of remembering and rediscovery, anthropologist Carlos G. Vélez-Ibáñez explores his development as a scholar and in so doing the development of the interdisciplinary fields of transborder and applied anthropology. He shows us his path through anthropology as both a theoretical and an applied anthropologist whose work has strongly influenced borderlands and applied research. Importantly, he explains the underlying, often hidden process that led to his long insistence on making a difference in lives of people of Mexican origin on both sides of the border and to contribute to a “People with Histories.” In each chapter, Vélez-Ibáñez revisits a critical piece of hi...

Border Visions
The U.S.-Mexico border region is home to anthropologist Carlos VŽlez-Ib‡–ez. Into these pages he pours nearly half a century of searching and finding answers to the Mexican experience in the southwestern United States. He describes and analyzes the process, as generation upon generation of Mexicans moved north and attempted to create an identity or sense of cultural space and place. In todayÕs border fences he also sees barriers to how Mexicans understand themselves and how they are fundamentally understood. From prehistory to the present, VŽlez-Ib‡–ez traces the intense bumping among Native Americans, Spaniards, and Mexicans, as Mesoamerican populations and ideas moved northward....
Visiones de frontera
"La región fronteriza del norte del país es el hogar del antropólogo Carlos Veléz-Ibáñez quien en estas páginas vierte casi medio siglo de investigación sobre la experiencia de los mexicanos en el suroeste del vecino país. Describe y analiza el proceso mediante el cual, una tras otra, las generaciones de mexicanos han emigrado hacia el norte en un intento por arraigar una identidad y un 'sentido de espacio y de lugar cultural' propios. En las almbradas que hoy demarcan la frontera, el autor también ve las barreras al entendimiento de los mexicanos, de si mismos y por parte de los demás. Desde la prehistoria haste el presente Vélez-Ibáñez rastrea el intenso ir y venir a lo largo...
