Les intendants de la vice-royauté de la Nouvelle-Espagne (1764-1821)
L’histoire de l’intendance hispano-américaine ne peut se faire sans l’histoire des hommes qui la gouvernent. Au-delà des données biographiques classiques, cet ouvrage se penche sur leur environnement familial, social et professionnel. Son originalité réside dans la composition du groupe étudié. Il recense l’ensemble des intendants de la vice-royauté de la Nouvelle-Espagne entre 1764 et 1821 quel que soit leur mode de nomination, qu’ils soient entrés ou non en charge. Il est le seul à étudier les intendants de cette aire géographique dans toute son intégralité territoriale (Nouvelle-Espagne, Guatemala, Louisiane, Cuba, Porto Rico, Philippines).
Mexican Political Biographies, 1884–1934
Here is an authoritative reference work that makes biographies of prominent Mexican national politicians from the period 1884–1934 available in English. Like the author's biographical directory for the years 1935–2009, it draws on many years of research in Mexico and the United States and seeks not only to provide accurate biographical information about each entry but also, where possible and appropriate, to connect these politicians to more recent leadership generations. Thus, Mexican Political Biographies, 1884-1934 not only is a useful historical source but also provides additional information on the family backgrounds of many contemporary figures. The work includes those figures who ...
La teoría de la razón de Estado y la administración pública
"La Razón de estado es una tecnología del poder que tiene por objeto evitar la destrucción, derrota o resquebramiento del Estado. Pero el Estado no sólo es contundencia de poder para enfrentar enemigos o adversarios, sino que su racionalidad también depende del progreso y el binestar de la sociedad. Con base de los anterior, otra tecnología del poder que coadyuva a nutrir la existencia óptima del Estado en la ciencia de la policía. Concierne a la misma lo relativo a los medios y acciones administrativas para que la sociedad consiga el desarrollo material, moral e intelectual, elementos fundamentales de la felicidad y prosperidad del Estado. El desenvolvimiento de la sociedad en términos de progreso, demuestra la inteligencia del Estado para conservarse con vigor y salud. Su actividad administrativa por tanto, es el medio que propicia la calidad de vida de la sociedad y deriva de las capacidades tecnológicas que él detenta, utiliza y aprovecha. En suma, la presente obra recupera en una versión novedosa las condiciones, procesos y sentido de la vida estatal moderna."--Back cover.
Mexico: The Land of Charm
A sumptuous clothbound compendium of modern Mexican ephemera from postage stamps to tourist guides This volume gathers a surprising and engaging sampling of more than 500 pieces of printed matter: material that circulated between the 1910s and the 1960s, with print runs of anywhere from a thousand to tens of thousands of copies. These ephemeral, utilitarian publications--many created by well-known artists and designers--flooded streets, newspaper stands, bookshops and homes, with the common aim of disseminating an idealized image of what is considered typically Mexican. Drawn from private collections and the holdings of museums, with no claim to completeness, the material in Mexico: The Land...
Undocumented Saints
Undocumented Saints follows the migration of popular saints from Mexico into the US and the evolution of their meaning. The book explores how Latinx battles for survival are performed in the worlds of faith, religiosity, and the imaginary, and how the socio-political realities of exploitation and racial segregation frame their popular religious expressions. It also tracks the emergence of inter-religious states, transnational ethnic and cultural enclaves unified by faith. The book looks at five vernacular saints that have emerged in Mexico and whose devotions have migrated into the US in the last one hundred years: Jesús Malverde, a popular bandido turned saint caudillo; Santa Olguita, an e...
