Binational Human Rights
Mexico ranks highly on many of the measures that have proven significant for creating a positive human rights record, including democratization, good health and life expectancy, and engagement in the global economy. Yet the nation's most vulnerable populations suffer human rights abuses on a large scale, such as gruesome killings in the Mexican drug war, decades of violent feminicide, migrant deaths in the U.S. desert, and the ongoing effects of the failed detention and deportation system in the States. Some atrocities have received extensive and sensational coverage, while others have become routine or simply ignored by national and international media. Binational Human Rights examines both...
Challenging Authoritarianism in Mexico
The Cold War in Latin America spawned numerous authoritarian and military regimes in response to the ostensible threat of communism in the Western Hemisphere, and with that, a rigid national security doctrine was exported to Latin America by the United States. Between 1964 and 1985, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uraguay experienced a period of state-sponsored terrorism commonly referred to as the "dirty wars." Thousands of leftists, students, intellectuals, workers, peasants, labor leaders, and innocent civilians were harassed, arrested, tortured, raped, murdered, or 'disappeared.' Many studies have been done about this phenomenon in the other areas of Latin America, but st...

Handbook of Latin American Studies, Vol. 76
Beginning with Number 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research underway in specialized areas.
Ossa nel deserto
«Qualche anno fa i miei amici che vivono in Messico, stanchi di sentirmi chiedere informazioni, e per di più sempre più dettagliate, sulle donne assassinate a Ciudad Juárez, decisero, a quanto pare di comune accordo, di incentrare e scaricare questo compito su Sergio González Rodríguez, che è uno scrittore, saggista e giornalista e chissà quante altre cose ancora, e che secondo loro era la persona più informata su questo caso, un caso unico negli annali del crimine latinoamericano: più di trecento donne violentate e assassinate in un arco di tempo estremamente breve, dal 1993 al 2002, in una città al confine con gli Stati Uniti di appena un milione di abitanti ... Ossa nel deserto non solo è una fotografia imperfetta, come non avrebbe potuto essere altrimenti, del male e della corruzione, ma diventa una metafora del Messico e del passato del Messico e del futuro incerto di tutta l’America latina. È un libro che non appartiene alla tradizione avventuriera ma alla tradizione apocalittica, che sono le uniche tradizioni rimaste vive nel nostro continente, forse perché sono le uniche in grado di avvicinarci all’abisso che ci circonda». ROBERTO BOLAÑO
La nueva fiebre del oro
Casi el 30 por ciento de la república mexicana ha sido concesionada a consorcios mineros nacionales y extranjeros que extraen, mediante el método de cielo abierto, metales preciosos de áreas naturales y tierras de cultivo. Hace más de dos décadas los gobiernos federales del Partido Revolucionario Institucional y del Partido Acción Nacional, modificaron la constitución y las leyes mineras y de inversión extranjera para facilitar el despojo de tierras a pobladores campesinos e indígenas. Los multimillonarios mexicanos se han beneficiado de las concesiones territoriales del gobierno y han acumulado millones de hectáreas convirtiéndose en los mayores latifundistas del siglo XXI. Sus e...
