Bakers and Basques
Mexico City's colorful panaderías (bakeries) have long been vital neighborhood institutions. They were also crucial sites where labor, subsistence, and politics collided. From the 1880s well into the twentieth century, Basque immigrants dominated the bread trade, to the detriment of small Mexican bakers. By taking us inside the panadería, into the heart of bread strikes, and through government halls, Robert Weis reveals why authorities and organized workers supported the so-called Spanish monopoly in ways that countered the promises of law and ideology. He tells the gritty story of how class struggle and the politics of food shaped the state and the market. More than a book about bread, Bakers and Basques places food and labor at the center of the upheavals in Mexican history from independence to the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution.
Beneath the Lines
This book brings together ten empirically rich and theoretically informed contributions that aim to clarify both geo-historical specificities and common transnational and global features of the cultures and practices of boundary making that shaped modern statehood. Written by scholars from Spain, France, Italy, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, the essays included in this volume provide a comparative international perspective on the processes of border formation, as well as an integrative approach that seeks to strengthen the links between renewed geo-historical studies and more contemporary-oriented border studies. The book is addressed to a wide range of researchers, including geographers, historians, political scientists and specialists in geopolitics and the history of international relations.
Praying to Portraits
In Praying to Portraits, art historian Adam Jasienski examines the history, meaning, and cultural significance of a crucial image type in the early modern Hispanic world: the sacred portrait. Across early modern Spain and Latin America, people prayed to portraits. They prayed to “true” effigies of saints, to simple portraits that were repainted as devotional objects, and even to images of living sitters depicted as holy figures. Jasienski places these difficult-to-classify image types within their historical context. He shows that rather than being harbingers of secular modernity and autonomous selfhood, portraits were privileged sites for mediating an individual’s relationship to the ...
Empresas y empresarios en Navarra
La obra de un navarro, Esteban Errandonea y Larache, ha constituido, y aun constituye, referencia inexcusable cuando se examina el primer sistema eléctrico español. A su solidez empírica, el técnico y promotor eléctrico supo aunar un fino rigor analítico que rindió sus frutos en las aproximaciones preferentemente industriales al sector que publicó a partir de los primeros treinta. Recientemente, Josean Garrués ha publicado una monografía deudora de la mejor de esta tradición de solidez y originalidad analítica, para un caso, el del propio territorio de Navarra en la perspectiva histórica de todo un siglo. En Empresas y empresarios en Navarra se publica, según reconocen autor y ...
Archivos históricos de Navarra. Tipología y documentación de los archivos medievales y del Antiguo Régimen
La obra analiza los distintos tipos de archivo navarros tanto públicos como privados, en una secuencia temporal que transita desde la Edad Media a comienzos del siglo XIX. Tomando como hilo conductor el principio de procedencia, establece la conexión entre el documento y su órgano productor, pero también tiene en cuenta el destinatario del mismo, para entender las razones de las diversas reorganizaciones archivísticas a lo largo del tiempo, y el interés por promover la custodia documental, o justamente lo contrario.
