Social Sciences
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Katherine D. McCann is acting editor for this volume. The subject categories for Volume 57 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Social Sciences Anthropology Economics Geography Government and Politics International Relations Sociology
Spent Cartridges of Revolution
What happens to a revolutionary town after the revolution? This apparently simple question frames Spent Cartridges of Revolution, an anthropological history of Namiquipa, Chihuahua, Mexico. Officially, the revolution of 1910-20 restored control over land and local politics to the peasantry. But Namiquipan peasants, who fought alongside Pancho Villa, have seen little progress and consider themselves mere "spent cartridges" of a struggle that benefited other classes. Daniel Nugent's approach combines an emphasis on peasants' own perceptions of Mexican society after the revolution with an analysis of the organization and formation of state power. He shows that popular discontent in Chihuahua is motivated not only by immediate economic crises but by two centuries of struggle between the people of Northern Mexico and the government.

Moverse para no extinguirse.
Este libro trata sobre un movimiento de pequeños lecheros chihuahuenses de la segunda década del siglo XXI, que buscaba evitar lo que parecía ser el destino manifiesto de estos productores: la extinción. Esta tendencia se explica por el rumbo del ramo lechero en México y en el mundo desde 1950. Destaca el cambio tecnológico, la aparición de grandes empresas privadas (en México, Lala y Alpura) y las crecientes importaciones de leche en polvo después de 1986. El movimiento inició en 2011 y proseguía en 2018. Los lecheros buscaron aliarse con el gobierno del estado de Chihuahua para proteger su mercado, lo que provocó serios problemas interestatales, algo poco estudiado en México. Trataban de que Liconsa, empresa del gobierno federal, mantuviera y aun ampliara sus compras de leche en la entidad al mayor precio posible. Y en buena medida lo consiguieron. Al hacerlo, evitaron, de momento, la extinción.
