Greta Thunberg. Las jóvenes voces que salvaran el futuro. (Magis 470)
Cuestionada desde su origen como idea en la campaña electoral de López Obrador, la Guardia Nacional integrará en sus filas a miembros de las Fuerzas Armadas y de la Policía Federal, y aunque tendrá un mando civil (si bien se trata de un general en retiro), su entrada en funciones representa, para los defensores de los derechos humanos y para los estudiosos del tema, una forma de militarización del país. En este número de MAGIS revisamos la historia de esta corporación, así como las razones en que se fundan algunas de las principales dudas y temores en torno a lo que podrá ser su papel en el violento presente mexicano.

A Companion to Early Modern Lima
A Companion to Early Modern Lima introduces readers to the Spanish American city which became a vibrant urban center in the sixteenth-century world. As part of Brill's Companions to the Americas series, this volume presents current interdisciplinary research focused on the Peruvian viceregal capital. From ancient roots to its foundation by Pizarro, Lima was transformed into an imperial capital positioned between Atlantic and Pacific exchange networks. An international team of scholars examines issues ranging from literary history, politics, and religion to philosophy, historiography, and modes of intercontinental influence. The volume is divided into three sections: urban development and government, society, and culture. The essays collectively represent the scope of contemporary approaches, methodologies, and source materials pertinent to the study of sixteenth-century Lima, a city at the center of global interchange in the early modern world.
Mexico's Merchant Elite, 1590-1660
Combining social, political, and economic history, Louisa Schell Hoberman examines a neglected period in Mexico's colonial past, providing the first book-length study of the period's merchant elite and its impact on the evolution of Mexico. Through extensive archival research, Hoberman brings to light new data that illuminate the formation, behavior, and power of the merchant class in New Spain. She documents sources and uses of merchant wealth, tracing the relative importance of mining, agriculture, trade, and public office. By delving into biographical information on prominent families, Hoberman also reveals much about the longevity of the first generation's social and economic achievements. The author's broad analysis situates her study in the overall environment in which the merchants thrived. Among the topics discussed are the mining and operation of the mint, Mexico's political position vis-a-vis Spain, and the question of an economic depression in the seventeenth century.

Karl Hoffmann, médico y héroe en la Campaña Nacional
El médico y naturalista alemán Karl Hoffmann arribó a Costa Rica a inicios de 1854, con el fin de estudiar la flora, la fauna y los volcanes del país. Sin embargo, mientras ejercía su profesión y se dedicaba a explorar nuestra naturaleza, a inicios de 1856 sobrevino la amenaza de una invasión por parte del ejército filibustero liderado por William Walker, quien se proponía implantar la esclavitud en los cinco países centroamericanos, así como anexarlos a EE. UU. Ante tan grave situación, el presidente Juan Rafael (Juanito) Mora llamó a las armas a la población.
