Mexican Women in American Factories
Prior to the millennium, economists and policy makers argued that free trade between the United States and Mexico would benefit both Americans and Mexicans. They believed that NAFTA would be a “win-win” proposition that would offer U.S. companies new markets for their products and Mexicans the hope of living in a more developed country with the modern conveniences of wealthier nations. Blending rigorous economic and statistical analysis with concern for the people affected, Mexican Women in American Factories offers the first assessment of whether NAFTA has fulfilled these expectations by examining its socioeconomic impact on workers in a Mexican border town. Carolyn Tuttle led a group t...
Conflicts Between Biodiversity Conservation and Humans
This book takes readers on a journey through the history of water in the Coahuila desert. It starts by describing the beauty and mysteries of the landscape, and then explores the rock art of the original desert cultures in Coahuila, offering readers a glimpse of the sacred nature of water in the desert, as well as the rituals surrounding it. Moving on to the colonial times and the post- independence development of the region, it discusses early water management, and explores how water is managed in modern times, as well as the legal complications of the law, and how these faulty laws, designed for less arid regions, have affected a highly diverse wetland, the Cuatro Ciénegas oasis. The book then examines the biological consequences of the water loss for the aquatic plants and animals in Churince – a now extinct system within Cuatro Ciénegas. Further, it addresses how even bacteria can become extinct in this hyper-diverse microbial oasis. Lastly, after this despair and sense of loss, the book provides hope, offering suggestions for how we can transform the future, from a social and educational point of view as well as through good science and changes in policy.
Watering the Revolution
In Watering the Revolution Mikael D. Wolfe transforms our understanding of Mexican agrarian reform through an environmental and technological history of water management in the emblematic Laguna region. Drawing on extensive archival research in Mexico and the United States, Wolfe shows how during the long Mexican Revolution (1910-1940) engineers’ distribution of water paradoxically undermined land distribution. In so doing, he highlights the intrinsic tension engineers faced between the urgent need for water conservation and the imperative for development during the contentious modernization of the Laguna's existing flood irrigation method into one regulated by high dams, concrete-lined ca...
Felipe Ángeles en la Revolución
El general Felipe Ángeles escribe Friedrich Katz en su biografía de pancho villa, representó una excepción a todas las reglas, tanto del México porfiriano como del México revolucionario. Fue el único alto oficial del ejército federal que se unió a las fuerzas revolucionarias y también uno de los muy pocos generales mexicanos, fueran federales o revolucionarios, que era a la vez un intelectual en el más amplio sentido del término. Enseñaba matemáticas y ciencias de la artillería, y escribió trabajos muy conocidos sobre ambos campos.

Opening Mexico
The Story of Mexico's political rebirth, by two pulitzer prize-winning reporters Opening Mexico is a narrative history of the citizens' movement which dismantled the kleptocratic one-party state that dominated Mexico in the twentieth century, and replaced it with a lively democracy. Told through the stories of Mexicans who helped make the transformation, the book gives new and gripping behind-the-scenes accounts of major episodes in Mexico's recent politics. Mexico's Institutional Revolutionary Party, led by presidents who ruled like Mesoamerican monarchs, came to be called "the perfect dictatorship." But a 1968 massacre of student protesters by government snipers ignited the desire for demo...

Lo que no sabía de ellos
Otra historia, muy diferente a la que se nos presenta en los libros de texto sobre el desarrollo de México. El autor, Antonio S. Almeida, nos presenta una serie de datos curiosos y muy interesantes sobre algunos de los personajes más controvertidos de la historia nacional, desde sus nombres reales hasta sus desventuras amorosas. ¡Esto es otra historia!
La resistencia republicana en las entidades federativas de México
El propósito de esta obra es estudiar cómo se vivió este proceso histórico en cada rincón de México. La historia de este país no se puede comprender a cabalidad sin analizar lo acontecido en los estados de la República. Las historias matrias conforman a la historia patria. Hay aspectos comunes en todas las regiones. El país entero se dividió entre republicanos y monarquistas, pero en todas, a pesar de sus conflictos políticos internos, se formaron juntas patrióticas y se organizó la resistencia republicana. En la medida de sus posibilidades, colaboraron con hombres y pertrechos en la defensa del país. La lucha contra la intervención extranjera cohesionó a la nación mexicana.
