Understanding the Chiapas Rebellion
To many observers in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Mexico appeared to be a modern nation-state at last assuming an international role through its participation in NAFTA and the OECD (Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development). Then came the Zapatista revolt on New Year's Day 1994. Wearing ski masks and demanding not power but a new understanding of the indigenous peoples of Mexico, Subcomandante Marcos and his followers launched what may be the first "post" or "counter" modern revolution, one that challenges the very concept of the modern nation-state and its vision of a fully assimilated citizenry. This book offers a new way of understanding the Zapatista conflict as a countera...

Practicing Ethnography in a Globalizing World
In her new book, distinguished anthropologist June Nash tackles the critical question of how people of diverse cultures confront the common problems that arise with global integration. She reveals these impacts on an urban U.S. community, on Mandalay rice cultivators, as well as on Mayan and Andean peasants and miners. Her decades-long research in these communities provides a valuable resource for anthropologists and other social scientists engaged in contemporary ethnographic research.
El choque inevitable
¿Por qué López Obrador se ha obsesionado con los medios (sobre todo con los "conservadores"), a quienes considera sus más fieros contrincantes? ¿Por qué miente y desinforma con tanta confianza incluso cuando se le presentan evidencias que anulan sus afirmaciones? ¿Qué consecuencias políticas tiene su actitud retadora y desdeñosa hacia la verdad y los hechos? Sea como unrecurso para polarizar al país en su beneficio o como una genuina estrategia de cambio, el presidente de México ha logrado convertir la relación entre el poder y los medios de comunicación en uno de los aspectos centrales de su gestión. Esto ha generado confrontación, pero también dependencia, y ha marcado el ...
El imaginario de lo público en la radio
El servicio público de radiodifusión es un deber del Estado en naciones democráticas desde el siglo XX. Sin embargo, hasta la primera década del siglo XXI, México no se había preocupado por desarrollar la radiodifusión como un servicio público y para el público. Había creado emisoras estatales y culturales, pero con la ausencia de una política de Estado hacia la radiodifusión. Específicamente en el marco neoliberal, el sistema político mexicano tuvo una relación autoritaria y vertical con la radiodifusión estatal y dictó lo que, a su parecer, tenía que entenderse como "interés público". En este contexto, Lenin Martell Gámez examina algunas emisoras estatales y culturales...
