We Built the Wall
A Mexican-American lawyer exposes corruption in the US asylum procedure and despotism in the Mexican government From a storefront law office in the US border city of El Paso, Texas, one man set out to tear down the great wall of indifference raised between the US and Mexico. Carlos Spector has filed hundreds of political asylum cases on behalf of human rights defenders, journalists, and political dissidents. Though his legal activism has only inched the process forward—98 percent of refugees from Mexico are still denied asylum—his myriad legal cases and the resultant media fallout has increasingly put US immigration policy, the corrupt state of Mexico, and the political basis of immigrat...
Drug Trafficking in Mexico and the United States
Gabriel Ferreyra presents a comprehensive analysis of drug trafficking in Mexico and the United States by examining the roots, development, consolidation, and cultural ramifications of this phenomenon in the past century as well as its negative consequences in contemporary Mexico. Ferreyra discusses the most devastating effects correlated to drug trafficking such as high murder rates, gruesome violence, disappearances, and mass graves to emphasize how Mexican society bears the brunt of this phenomenon while the United States insists on the futility of drug prohibition. Unlike other publications, this book provides an interdisciplinary social science approach where drug trafficking is concept...
¿De qué se ríe Phoebe Waller-Bridge? (Magis 478)
La historia nos enseña que los grandes cambios están siempre enmarcados en reflexiones profundas. A veces, como ha ocurrido con algunas revoluciones, las transformaciones más radicales de la sociedad siguen los rumbos que antes abrió el pensamiento; otras veces, el mundo se vuelve distinto a tal velocidad que solamente después empezamos a preguntarnos qué ha pasado. Seguramente éste es el caso que estamos viviendo ahora que la pandemia ha alterado tan drásticamente nuestras formas de relacionarnos, de trabajar, de estudiar, de divertirnos, y cuando la lucha por la supervivencia ha presidido la totalidad de nuestros afanes como especie. Poco de lo que tenemos hoy con nosotros lo esper...
Narco-Cults
Those who know about how spirituality plays into the world of drug smuggling have likely heard of Santa Muerte, Jesus Malverde, and Santer but the details of the more obscure African religions and Latin American folk saints and cults often remain a mystery. While the vast majority of these religions are practiced by law-abiding citizens with no co
Cartilla moral
La Cartilla moral de Alfonso Reyes se escribió en 1944 por encargo del entonces secretario de Educación Pública Jaime Torres Bodet, con el propósito de que acompañara la cartilla alfabética que se entregaría en la Campaña Nacional contra el Analfabetismo de ese año. Sin embargo, sus páginas no llegaron a la imprenta entonces. En esta obra, Javier Garciadiego, director de la Capilla Alfonsina y reconocido especialista en la vida y obra de Alfonso Reyes, relata las vicisitudes de la Cartilla moral desde su creación hasta 2019, haciendo una historia editorial y crítica de uno de los textos menos conocidos del autor. Esta edición reproduce la que publicó en 1959 el Instituto Nacional Indigenista, la última revisada por Alfonso Reyes. Se acompaña además con un apéndice documental que incluye fragmentos de cartas, entradas de diario, artículos de periódico, etc., y de fotografías que ilustran la historia de la Cartilla moral a lo largo de 75 años.
Catástrofe y violencia
Los sucesos sangrientos, en particular si tienen motivaciones políticas, como las guerras, los atentados terroristas, las revoluciones o los golpes de estado, fomentan la producción cultural en forma de ficciones narrativas, piezas teatrales, películas, etc. También las grandes catástrofes, aunque sus causas no sean políticas, provocan debates acerca de la responsabilidad humana y la gestión de la crisis, discusiones que repercuten igualmente en la creación cultural. Este libro incluye veinte artículos sobre la representación cultural de tales acontecimientos en los países hispanohablantes (siglos XX y XXI).
Advanced Economies and Emerging Markets
There is intense competition among emerging markets to capture their share of the global economy. This book addresses questions that are germane to accomplishing this goal. Most important to this end is the study and practice of international business and foreign trade.
Doing Business in Emerging Markets
Like Advanced Economies and Emerging Markets, the 'flagship' book of the series, from which this book is derived Doing Business in Emerging Markets recognizes that there is intense competition among emerging markets to capture their share of the global economy. The series addresses questions that are germane to accomplishing this goal. Most important to this end is the study and practice of international business and foreign trade. Undertaking such a study raises many questions which the series will attempt to answer: Why are emerging markets and the firms doing business in them internationalizing so aggressively; and why in the past decade has the pace of internationalization accelerated so rapidly? What competitive advantages do these emerging economies enjoy in comparison to advanced economies, such as the G20, and what are the origins of those advantages? This volume is devoted to presenting the practical aspects and challenges of doing business in global emerging markets.
María Izquierdo and Frida Kahlo
María Izquierdo (1902–1955) and Frida Kahlo (1907–1954) were the first two Mexican women artists to achieve international recognition. During the height of the Mexican muralist movement, they established successful careers as easel painters and created work that has become an integral part of Mexican modernism. Although the iconic Kahlo is now more famous, the two artists had comparable reputations during their lives. Both were regularly included in major exhibitions of Mexican art, and they were invariably the only women chosen for the most important professional activities and honors. In a deeply informed study that prioritizes critical analysis over biographical interpretation, Nancy...
