Uncharted Terrains
“We must secure our borders” has become an increasingly common refrain in the United States since 2001. Most of the “securing” has focused on the US–Mexico border. In the process, immigrants have become stigmatized, if not criminalized. This has had significant implications for social scientists who study the lives and needs of immigrants, as well as the effectiveness of programs and policies designed to help them. In this groundbreaking book, researchers describe their experiences in conducting field research along the southern US border and draw larger conclusions about the challenges of contemporary border research. Each chapter raises methodological and ethical questions releva...
The Presidio and Militia on the Northern Frontier of New Spain: pt. 1. The Californias and Sinaloa-Sonora, 1700-1765
Acclaimed by readers and reviewers alike, the first volume of The Presidio and Militia on the Northern Frontier of New Spain was a landmark in the documentary study of seventeenth-century Spanish Colonial Mexico. Here, Charles W. Polzer and Thomas E. Sheridan bring the same incisive scholarship and careful editing to long-awaited Volume Two, covering the years 1700-1765. The two-part second volume looks at the Spanish expansion as occurring in four north-south corridors that carried the main components of social and political activity. Divided geographically, materials in this book (part 1) relate to the two westernmost corridors, while those in the projected book (part 2) will cover the cor...
Empire of Sand
From the earliest days of their empire in the New World, the Spanish sought to gain control of the native peoples and lands of what is now Sonora. While missionaries were successful in pacifying many Indians, the Seris--independent groups of hunter-gatherers who lived on the desert shores and islands of the Gulf of California--steadfastly defied Spanish efforts to subjugate them. Empire of Sand is a documentary history of Spanish attempts to convert, control, and ultimately annihilate the Seris. These papers of religious, military, and government officials attest to the Seris' resilience in the face of numerous Spanish attempts to conquer them and remove them from their lands. Most of the do...
Estudios sobre la enseñanza y aprendizaje del inglés en México
La enseñanza del inglés ha experimentado un importante avance en los últimos años. Las prácticas pedagógicas promovidas en la actualidad se centran en conocer el contexto donde están situadas, más que limitarse a implementar preceptos y principios definidos para contextos universales. De la misma forma, las investigaciones que se realizan en contextos específicos retroalimentan ese entorno y ayudan a mejorar las prácticas de manera más cercana y apegada a las necesidades precisas del entorno mismo. La presente obra contiene estudios relacionados con el uso de recursos y materiales tradicionales y tecnológicos en el aula, así como con el desarrollo de la escritura académica en el contexto universitario desde la perspectiva de estudiantes y profesores. Los marcos teóricos y metodológicos detallados en cada capítulo pueden ser utilizados por estudiantes de otros posgrados o investigadores del campo como referentes bibliográficos. Las investigaciones plasmadas son un reflejo de lo logrado en estas últimas décadas en México en cuanto a la generación de nuevos conocimientos y la formación de investigadores.
