A Land Between Waters
Mexico is one of the most ecologically diverse nations on the planet, with landscapes that range from rainforests to deserts and from small villages to the continent’s largest metropolis. Yet historians are only beginning to understand how people’s use of the land, extraction of its resources, and attempts to conserve it have shaped both the landscape and its inhabitants. A Land Between Waters explores the relationship between the people and the environment in Mexico. It heralds the arrival of environmental history as a major area of study within the field of Mexican history. This volume brings together a dozen original works of environmental history by some of the foremost experts in Me...
Equestrian Rebels
Mariano Azuela (Mexico, 1873–1952) was a medical doctor by profession, recipient of Mexico’s Premio Nacional de Literatura (1949), a distinguished member of El Colegio Nacional and, by mid-century, one of Mexico’s leading novelists and literary critics. The author of novels, novellas, plays, biographies, and literary criticism, Azuela served as field doctor under Francisco Villa during the Mexican Revolution and, after Villa’s military defeats in 1915, published Los de abajo (The Underdogs, 1915) while in exile in El Paso, Texas. This book of essays commemorates the first centenary of Los de abajo, and traces its impact on twentieth-century autobiographies, memoirs and, more specific...
A History of Boxing in Mexico
The violent sport of boxing shaped and was shaped by notions of Mexican national identity during the twentieth century. This book reveals how boxing and boxers became sources of national pride and sparked debates on what it meant to be Mexican, masculine, and modern. The success of world-champion Mexican boxers played a key role in the rise of Los Angeles as the center of pugilistic activity in the United States. This international success made the fighters potent symbols of a Mexican culture that was cosmopolitan, nationalist, and masculine. With research in archives on both sides of the border, the author uses their life stories to trace the history and meaning of Mexican boxing.

I Speak of the City
In this dazzling multidisciplinary tour of Mexico City, Mauricio Tenorio-Trillo focuses on the period 1880 to 1940, the decisive decades that shaped the city into what it is today. Through a kaleidoscope of expository forms, I Speak of the City connects the realms of literature, architecture, music, popular language, art, and public health to investigate the city in a variety of contexts: as a living history textbook, as an expression of the state, as a modernist capital, as a laboratory, and as language. Tenorio’s formal imagination allows the reader to revel in the free-flowing richness of his narratives, opening startling new vistas onto the urban experience. From art to city planning, from epidemiology to poetry, this book challenges the conventional wisdom about both Mexico City and the turn-of-the-century world to which it belonged. And by engaging directly with the rise of modernism and the cultural experiences of such personalities as Hart Crane, Mina Loy, and Diego Rivera, I Speak of the City will find an enthusiastic audience across the disciplines.
The Mexican Heartland
The Mexican Heartland provides a new history of capitalism from the perspective of the landed communities surrounding Mexico City. In a sweeping analytical narrative spanning the sixteenth century to today, John Tutino challenges our basic assumptions about the forces that shaped global capitalism setting families and communities at the center of histories that transformed the world. Despite invasion, disease, and depopulation, Mexico's heartland communities held strong on the land, adapting to sustain and shape the dynamic silver capitalism so pivotal to Spain's empire and world trade for centuries after 1550. They joined in insurgencies that brought the collapse of silver and other key glo...
Från medeltida medicin till folkhälsa
Medeltidamedicin i Västeuropa bestod av en blandning av befintliga idéer från antiken, andlig påverkan och vad Claude Lévi-Strauss identifierar som det "shamanistiska komplexet" och "sociala konsensus." Under den tidiga medeltiden, efter det västra romerska imperiets fall, grundades medicinsk kunskap huvudsakligen på att överleva grekiska och romerska texter, bevarade i kloster och på annat håll. Många placerade helt enkelt sina hopp i kyrkan och Gud att läka alla sina sjukdomar. Idéer omsjukdomars ursprung och botemedel var inte bara sekulära, men baserade sig också på en världsbild där faktorer som öde, synd och astral påverkan spelade lika stor roll som någon fysisk o...
A középkori orvostudománytól a közegészségig
ANyugat-Európában a középkori orvoslás az antikvitás, a szellemi befolyások és a Claude Lévi-Strauss által "shamanisztikus komplexumnak" és "társadalmi konszenzusnak" nevezett meglévő ötletek keverékéből állt.A korai középkorban, a Nyugat-Római Birodalom bukását követően a szokásos orvosi ismeretek elsősorban a fennmaradt görög és római szövegekben alapultak, amelyeket a kolostorokban és másutt megőriztek. Sokan egyszerűen csak a gyülekezetbe és az Istenbe tették a reményeiket,hogy meggyógyítsák betegségüket. A betegség eredetével és gyógyításávalkapcsolatos elképzelések nem pusztán világi, hanem egy olyan világképénalapultak, amely...
從中世紀醫學到公共衛生
西歐的中世紀醫學由古代，精神影響和克勞德•列維•斯特勞斯（ClaudeLévi-Strauss）所稱的"薩滿主義情結"和"社會共識"混合而成。在中世紀早期，西羅馬帝國淪陷後，標準醫學知識主要基於倖存的希臘和羅馬文字，這些文字保存在修道院和其他地方。許多人只是將希望寄託在教會和上帝身上，以治愈所有疾病。關於疾病起源和治癒的想法並非純粹是世俗的，而是基於一種世界觀，在這種世界觀中，命運，罪惡和星體影響等因素在任何物理原因中都起著重要的作用。同樣，治癒的效果也取決於患者和醫生的信念，而不是經驗證...
От средневековой медицины к общественному здравоохранению
Средневековаямедицина в Западной Европе состояла из смеси существующих идей античности, духовных влияний и того, что Клод Леви-Стросс называет «шаманским комплексом» и «социальным консенсусом». В раннем средневековье, после падения Западной Римской империи, стандартные медицинские знания основывались главным образом на сохранившихся греческих и римских текстах, сохранивших...
