Imagining the Mexican Revolution
“Mexico’s 1910 Revolution engendered a vast range of responses: from novels and autobiographies to political cartoons, feature films and placards. In the light of the centennial commemorations, contributors to this original collection evaluate the cultural legacy of this landmark event in a series of engaging essays. Imagining the Mexican Revolution is a rich resource for those interested in ways in which literary and visual culture mediate our understandings of this complex historical phenomenon.” – Professor Andrea Noble, Durham University “This collection of essays by leading and emerging Mexicanists is a distinct and welcome contribution that enhances public and academic under...
Experiences of War in Europe and the Americas, 1792–1815
This work seeks to offer a new way of viewing the French Wars of 1792–1815. Most studies of this period offer international, political, and military analyses using the French Revolution and Napoleon as the prime mover. But this book focuses on military and civilian responses to French Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars, throughout the rest of Europe and the Americas. It shows how the unprecedented mobilization of this era forged a generation of soldiers and civilians sharing a common experience of suffering, bequeathing the West with a new veteran sensibility. Using a range of sources, especially memoirs, this book reveals the adventure and suffering confronting ordinary soldiers campaigning in Europe and the Americas, and the burdens imposed on civilians enduring rising and falling empires across the West. It also reveals how the wars liberated slaves, serfs, and common people through revolutions and insurgencies.
The Mark of Rebels
Consequently, the privileges that the indios fronterizos sought to preserve continued to diminish, unable to survive either the late colonial reforms of the Spanish regime or creole conceptions of race and property in the formation of the new nation-state. This story suggests that Mexico's transition from colony to nation can only be understood by revisiting the origins of the colonial system and by recognizing the role of Spain's indigenous allies in both its construction and demolition. The study relates events in the region to broader patterns of identity, loyalty, and subversion throughout the Americas, providing insight into the process of mestizaje that is commonly understood to have shaped Latin America. It also foreshadows the popular conservatism of the nineteenth century and identifies the roots of post-colonial social unrest.
Nuevas formas de hacer radio: posibilidades democratizadoras de la radio. Programa Puerta Uno 32
PUERTA UNO presenta el último programa de la triada: ¿EL CUARTO PODER EL ÚNICO? En muchos países las radios por Internet se han multiplicado. Es fácil realizarlo. Se necesita organización, un grupo compacto de personas dispuestas a trabajar en ella y conocimiento de la cibernética. Si se cumple esto, se puede hacer una radio por Internet y muchas de ellas son de muy buena calidad. La limitante, claro está, es que para escucharla se precisa Internet. Y claro, en él hay mucha competencia. Así comienza la charla nuestro invitado a la cabina de PUERTA UNO: Jorge Gómez Naredo doctorante por CIESAS, quien participa en el proyecto periodístico Extensión Medios (radio en internet, pági...
Los Farsantes de la 4T
El totalitarismo es un concepto que surgió en las entreguerras mundiales del siglo XX; sus derivaciones son múltiples y, aunque aquí no revisaremos ni una sola, son referente de este esfuerzo colectivo. Es inevitable tener en cuenta la experiencia de cualquier sistema que ha pretendido la supremacía de un solo pensamiento. La más atroz, sin duda, es la destrucción de la democracia y la libertad en el nombre de la superioridad racial o de alguna clase social, sea el proletariado o un ente amorfo y difuso llamado “pueblo”, que conduciría al paraíso, guiado por alguien con delirios de iluminado o pretensiones de mesías.” Marco Levario Turcott
