Educación y ciudadanía. Vivir como si fuera el último día (Xipe totek 76)
Dr. Julio Quesada Martín. Filosofía como paradigma educativo para la ciudadanía en el contexto democrático liberal. El autor habla de filosofía y ciudadanía y entra al diálogo con Aristóteles, Kant, y Ortega y Gasset. Los tres graves pecados capitales de un sistema democrático serían la pobreza, la falta de libertad y la ignorancia. Afirmar lo contrario es insensato. En este sentido la filosofía tiene muchas cosas que decir. No es de extrañar que la filosofía sea en buena medida el animal a combatir. El autor critica todo pensamiento totalitario, empezando por Platón, y se pone de lado de lo frágil, lo vulnerable, lo cambiante. (Xipe totek) (ITESO) (Universidad ITESO)
Un pequeño Dios. Hacia una filosofía primera de la historia desde una perspectiva zubiriana
En estas páginas Héctor Garza Saldívar, SJ, despliega la propuesta de que el pensamiento del filósofo Xavier Zubiri reconceptualiza la historia y el papel del conjunto de las acciones personales en ella. Esta perspectiva contribuye a la recuperación de la aptitud de cada persona para construir una historia de liberación. La obra de Zubiri, nos dice el autor jesuita, permite reelaborar el análisis de la actividad humana y de su intrínseca dimensión social, de modo que lleva a comprender de una manera novedosa el proceso histórico y la importancia en éste de la responsabilidad y la creatividad.

Narratives of Greater Mexico
Once relegated to the borders of literature—neither Mexican nor truly American—Chicana/o writers have always been in the vanguard of change, articulating the multicultural ethnicities, shifting identities, border realities, and even postmodern anxieties and hostilities that already characterize the twenty-first century. Indeed, it is Chicana/o writers' very in-between-ness that makes them authentic spokespersons for an America that is becoming increasingly Mexican/Latin American and for a Mexico that is ever more Americanized. In this pioneering study, Héctor Calderón looks at seven Chicana and Chicano writers whose narratives constitute what he terms an American Mexican literature. Dr...
Criticism in the Borderlands
This pathbreaking anthology of Chicano literary criticism, with essays on a remarkable range of texts—both old and new—draws on diverse perspectives in contemporary literary and cultural studies: from ethnographic to postmodernist, from Marxist to feminist, from cultural materialist to new historicist. The editors have organized essays around four board themes: the situation of Chicano literary studies within American literary history and debates about the “canon”; representations of the Chicana/o subject; genre, ideology, and history; and the aesthetics of Chicano literature. The volume as a whole aims at generating new ways of understanding what counts as culture and “theory” a...
The Politics of Food in Mexico
Compares a range of Mexican food policy reforms, focusing on the SAM (Mexican Food System), a program in place from 1980-82, designed to shift subsidies and privileged access from large private farmers and ranchers to peasants and small producers. In this context, Fox (political science, MIT) examines the limits and possibilities of political reform, and its history and future in the Mexican state.

Historia
The nature of ethnic identity has been a major issue in the Mexican American community for decades now. Historia: The Literary Making of Chicana and Chicano History makes a superb contribution to the multidisciplinary exploration of ways Mexican Americans have chosen to present their past through both "factual" and "fictional" narratives. Whereas history has offered frameworks for interpreting generational changes in the understanding of identity, literature has been particularly rich in exploring themes of power and domination and of intragroup complexities, Louis Gerard Mendoza argues in this innovative look at historical and imaginative literatures and their role in the formation of ethni...
