Dancing Mestizo Modernisms
This book analyzes how national and international dancers contributed to developing Mexico's cultural politics and notions of the nation at different historical moments. It emphasizes how dancers and other moving bodies resisted and reproduced racial and social hierarchies stemming from colonial Mexico (1521-1821). Relying on extensive archival research, choreography as an analytical methodology, and theories of race, dance, and performance studies, author Jose Reynoso examines how dance and other forms of embodiment participated in Mexico's formation after the Mexican War of Independence (1821-1876), the Porfirian dictatorship (1876-1911), and postrevolutionary Mexico (1919-1940). In so doi...
Women's Suffrage in the Americas
The first hemispheric study to trace how women in the Americas obtained the right to vote, Women's Suffrage in the Americas pushes back against the misconception that women's movements originated in the United States. The volume brings Latin American voices to the forefront of English-language scholarship. Suffragists across the hemisphere worked together, formed collegial networks to support each other's work, and fostered advances toward women gaining the vote over time and space from one country to the next. The collection as a whole suggests several models by which women in the Americas gained the right to vote: through party politics; through decree, despite delays justified by women's supposed conservative politics; through conservative defense of traditional roles for women; and within the context of imperialism. However, until now historians have traditionally failed to view this common history through a hemispheric lens.
Definición y redefinición de la ciencia política contemporánea
Los autores de este libro coinciden en que es importante historiar la Ciencia Política para comprender sus transformaciones, pero también consideran importante comprender sus cambios y redefiniciones a la luz de la pluralidad de los enfoques teórico-metodológicos existentes. Parten del principio de que la expresión "Ciencia Política" es empleada en sentido amplio o en sentido estricto. En el sentido amplio, la decisión denota un estudio de la historia del pensamiento político, las instituciones, las estructuras, los procesos y dinámicas políticas, el cual es integrado con rigor y sistematización sobre un riguroso examen de los hechos, expuestos con argumentos razonables y un léxi...
La pandemia de Covid-19 en México y las políticas públicas
La presente obra es resultado de la reflexión académica sobre la pandemia y sus efectos sociales. Se fue construyendo a raíz de la pandemia de Covid-19, que es la más reciente e impactante del siglo XXI. En este sentido se ha mostrado que las ciencias sociales tienen un amplio compromiso para la comprensión y análisis de los fenómenos o procesos actuales. La pandemia, registrada desde finales de 2019 y que transcurrió cuando menos hasta 2022, puede y debe ser revisada a la luz de los marcos teóricos de las disciplinas sociales. En este contexto se explica y justifica el surgimiento de este trabajo. Se trata de una aproximación a la descripción, explicación y comprensión de este evento global, bajo el ejercicio de las políticas públicas impulsadas por los Estados de diferentes latitudes. Con este propósito se convocó a un grupo plural de académicos para presentar sus reflexiones sobre el tema central del Seminario "La emergencia Sanitaria por Covid-19 en México y las Políticas Públicas del Estado Mexicano, 2020-2022". Tanto el proyecto como el seminario fueron auspiciados por el Programa PAPIIT de la DGAPA-UNAM.
Liga Mexicana
While there is dispute among scholars as to where and when the first game of baseball was played in Mexico, there is no dispute that the game is as popular there as it is in America. The popularity of the sport led to the establishment of the Professional Mexican Baseball League in 1925, which continues today. This text opens with a brief history of Mexican professional baseball and provides, in both English and Spanish, statistical information on the players of the Mexican Baseball League since 1937 (the first year in which the league kept official records). Individual batting statistics for each player and pitching statistics for each pitcher are provided, along with tables listing rookie ...
Stuck with Tourism
Tourism has become one of the most powerful forces organizing the predatory geographies of late capitalism. It creates entangled futures of exploitation and dependence, extracting resources and labor, and eclipsing other ways of doing, living, and imagining life. And yet, tourism also creates jobs, encourages infrastructure development, and in many places inspires the only possibility of hope and well-being. Stuck with Tourism explores the ambivalent nature of tourism by drawing on ethnographic evidence from the Mexican Yucatán Peninsula, a region voraciously transformed by tourism development over the past forty years. Contrasting labor and lived experiences at the beach resorts of Cancún, protected natural enclaves along the Gulf coast, historical buildings of the colonial past, and maquilas for souvenir production in the Maya heartland, this book explores the moral, political, ecological, and everyday dilemmas that emerge when, as Yucatán’s inhabitants put it, people get stuck in tourism’s grip.

No Mexicans, Women, or Dogs Allowed
“A refreshing and pathbreaking [study] of the roots of Mexican American social movement organizing in Texas with new insights on the struggles of women” (Devon Peña, Professor of American Ethnic Studies, University of Washington). Historian Cynthia E. Orozco presents a comprehensive study of the League of United Lantin-American Citizens, with an in-depth analysis of its origins. Founded by Mexican American men in 1929, LULAC is often judged harshly according to Chicano nationalist standards of the late 1960s and 1970s. Drawing on extensive archival research, No Mexicans, Women, or Dogs Allowed presents LULAC in light of its early twentieth-century context. Orozco argues that perceptions of LULAC as an assimilationist, anti-Mexican, anti-working class organization belie the group's early activism. Supplemented by oral history, this sweeping study probes LULAC's predecessors, such as the Order Sons of America, blending historiography and cultural studies. Against a backdrop of the Mexican Revolution, World War I, gender discrimination, and racial segregation, No Mexicans, Women, or Dogs Allowed recasts LULAC at the forefront of civil rights movements in America.
