Writing Mexican History
Essential essays from “one of the most prolific, provocative, and pre-eminent historians working in the field of Mexican and Latin-American history today” (Susan Deans-Smith, author of Bureaucrats, Planters, and Workers).

The Birth of Modern Mexico, 1780-1824
The Birth of Modern Mexico, 1780-1824 investigates the roots of the Mexican Independence era from a variety of perspectives. The essays in this volume link the pre-1810 late Bourbon period to the War of Independence (1810-1821), analyze many crucial aspects of the decade of conflict, and illustrate the continuities with the first years of the independent Mexican nation. They all contribute to a nuanced view of the period: the different conceptions of legitimacy between the popular masses and the elite, the skill and importance of pro-Spanish propaganda, the process of organizing conspiracies, the survival and thriving of a mercantile family, the causes of failing mines, the role of religious thought in the supposed secular state, and differing conceptions of authority by the legislature and the executive. One of the few readable, concise books on the topic of independence, this volume probes the birth of modern Mexico in a crisply written style that is sure to appeal to historians and students of Mexican history.

Masculinidad e intimidad
Este libro levanta los testimonios que van armando el paisaje en donde se divide de modo tajante la orientacin sexual de la vida cotidiana, mostrando un panorama de machismo y sombras regionales, que provocan un temor a los individuos por exponer sus preferencias sexuales, por que no se atreven o no quieren ser afectados con etiquetas y prejuicios provocados por su comportamiento distinto. / This book presents testimonies where sexual orientation is divided, showing a panorama of machismo, which provokes fear in individuals to expose their sexual preferences, because they do not wish to be labeled by their sexual behavior and preferences.
Libros y papeles de todo género y facultad. Estudios sobre tipología y géneros editoriales (siglos XIV-XIX)
La diversidad de los productos manuscritos e impresos presenta una problemática compleja en la que la investigación se mueve, no sin cierta dificultad, desde siempre. Fue necesaria una ciencia, la Diplomática, para resolver el problema en el mundo del documento manuscrito, pero el mundo del impreso y una buena parte del manuscrito tienen pendiente ampliar el campo de la Diplomática o encarar el problema desde una perspectiva propia. Este volumen incluye más de veinte trabajos relacionados con los géneros editoriales persiguiendo encontrar las características específicas de cada una de las diferentes tipologías del impreso (libro y no libro). Se trata de un paso más, no del último ni definitivo, pero muestra el interés y las distintas perspectivas en las que se mueve la investigación.
