Boletín Colegio de Etnólogos y Antropólogos Sociales 2008
La antropología aplicada en México hoy se distingue porque el Estado ha perdido el papel monopólico que tuvo en el pasado y, al mismo tiempo, ha habido una explosión multicolor de nuevos rumbos en los que la perspectiva holista y comprometida de la antropología tiene una gran pertienencia. Como hemos señalado en un trabajo reciente (Escamilla, Salmerón y Valladares, 2007), es posible afirmar que la oferta de trabajo para los egresados de las disciplinas antropológicas se ha modificado sustancialmente en las últimas décadas. Por una parte tenemos un mayor campo de trabajo vinculado no solamente con la academia y las agencias gubernamentales en las que tradicionalmente han laborado l...
Shared Responsibility
Shared Responsibility: U.S.-Mexico Policy Options for Confronting Organized Crime is a joint research project between the Woodrow Wilson Center's Mexico Institute and the University of San Diego's Trans-Border Institute. This publication examines specific challenges for security cooperation between the United States and Mexico including efforts to address the consumption of narcotics, money laundering, arms trafficking, intelligence sharing, policy strengthening, judicial reform, civil-military relations, and the protection of journalists. It concludes that binational efforts to stop organized crime and the exploding violence in Mexico have made positive advances but could fail to adequately address the challenge unless cooperation is significantly deepened and expanded.

Those who Hold Bastogne
A new telling of the brutal siege of Bastogne, where vastly outnumbered American forces held off a savage German onslaught and sealed the fate of the Third Reich Hitler's last gamble, the Battle of the Bulge, was intended to push the Allied invaders of Normandy all the way back to the beaches. The plan nearly succeeded, and almost certainly would have, were it not for one small Belgian town and its tenacious American defenders who held back a tenfold larger German force while awaiting the arrival of General George Patton's mighty Third Army. In this dramatic account of the 1944-45 winter of war in Bastogne, historian Peter Schrijvers offers the first full story of the German assault on the s...

Police Reform in Mexico
The urgent need to professionalize Mexican police has been recognized since the early 1990s, but despite even the most well-intentioned promises from elected officials and police chiefs, few gains have been made in improving police integrity. Why have reform efforts in Mexico been largely unsuccessful? This book seeks to answer the question by focusing on Mexico's municipal police, which make up the largest percentage of the country's police forces. Indeed, organized crime presents a major obstacle to institutional change, with criminal groups killing hundreds of local police in recent years. Nonetheless, Daniel Sabet argues that the problems of Mexican policing are really problems of govern...
Guy de Cointet
Guy de Cointet was fascinated with language, which he explored primarily through performance and drawing. His practice involved collecting random phrases, words, and even single letters from popular culture and literary sources - he often cited Raymond Roussel's novel Impressions of Africa as influential - and working these elements into non-linear narratives, which were presented as plays to his audience.Paintings and works on paper would then figure prominently within these performances. In his play At Sunrise . . . A Cry Was Heard (1976), a large painting depicting letters bisected by a white sash served as a main subject and prop, with the lead actress continuously referring to it and re...
