Winner of the 2014 Mexican Book Prize In the middle of the twentieth century, a growing tide of student activism in Mexico reached a level that could not be ignored, culminating with the 1968 movement. This book traces the rise, growth, and consequences of Mexico's "student problem" during the long sixties (1956-1971). Historian Jaime M.

Examining student unrest and youthful militancy in the forms of sponsored student thuggery (porrismo), provocation, clientelism (charrismo estudiantil), and fun (relajo), Pensado offers insight into larger issues of state formation and resistance.

In doing so, Pensado demonstrates the ways in which deviating authorities—inside and outside the government—responded differently to student unrest, and provides a compelling explanation for the longevity of the Partido Revolucionario Institucional.

The book promotes a discerning and critical approach to scholarly investigation by providing the reader not only with the know-how but also with insights into how new...
La desigualdad de género ha sido histórica y universal. Las mujeres han tenido que luchar por cada uno de sus derechos en todos los ámbitos, el diplomático no ha sido la excepción. Gracias al feminismo se inició el estudio de la historia con perspectiva de género, en los años sesenta del siglo pasado. Con esta óptica, nos dimos a la tarea de convocar a miembros del servicio exterior, de la academia y del ámbito cultural de nuestro país, para estudiar las acciones de las primeras diplomáticas mexicanas y visibilizar sus acciones. La obra que presentamos contiene las semblanzas de diez destacadas mujeres que fueron protagonistas de la política exterior de México a lo largo del si...
