Las migraciones a través del corredor Centroamérica-México-Estados Unidos tienen una larga historia: sin embargo, en años recientes han adquirido nuevos patrones y características que requieren de un diálogo regional para su comprensión. En el escenario actual, destacan: los momentos de alta migración asociados a violencias y la persistencia de condiciones precarias de vida en los lugares de origen, la activación de “in/movilidades” en el tránsito o en el asentamiento en territorio mexicano, una mayor diversidad de países de origen y de perfiles sociodemográficos de las personas en movimiento, junto a la puesta en marcha de planes, programas y acciones coyunturales para el co...
En los siguientes tres años crecerá el debate nacional sobre el futuro de México, sobre la urgencia del cambio en todas sus instituciones, la clase política, la normatividad y los mecanismos de participación democrática que garanticen que la mayoría de la población recupere el control de la soberanía nacional, de su territorio, de su política económica, de su moneda, de las políticas sectoriales y regionales, capaces de la generación masiva de millones de empleos, de bienestar y seguridad humana para toda la población, erradicando la economía de la muerte y las violencias estructurales del sistema y las organizaciones criminales que hoy ahogan a todo el país y subordinan a bu...

Ethnic Matching: Academic Success of Students of Color is an in-depth exploration on the impact of ethnic matching in education, the paring of students of color with teachers of the same race. Research shows that this method has a positive and long-term impact on the academic experience of students of color. This book explores what makes this phenomenon relevant in today’s classrooms. Through interviewing quality teachers of color, this book sheds a light on the impact these teachers make on the academic experience of students of color. This approach is meant to provide all teachers valuable insight into techniques for engaging with diverse learners. Also, from these conversations, the book shows how the intentionality of culturally responsive practice can enhance the academic experience of students of color. Topics such as the challenges of recruiting and retaining quality teachers of color, as well as the valuable work being done on the local, state, and national level to promote diversifying the field of education as a way to provide equitable education for all students is also explored in this book.
Archaeologists have long encountered evidence of natural disasters through excavation and stratigraphy. In Surviving Sudden Environmental Change, case studies examine how eight different past human communities—ranging from Arctic to equatorial regions, from tropical rainforests to desert interiors, and from deep prehistory to living memory—faced, and coped with, such dangers. Many disasters originate from a force of nature, such as an earthquake, cyclone, tsunami, volcanic eruption, drought, or flood. But that is only half of the story; decisions of people and their particular cultural lifeways are the rest. Sociocultural factors are essential in understanding risk, impact, resilience, reactions, and recoveries from massive sudden environmental changes. By using deep-time perspectives provided by interdisciplinary approaches, this book provides a rich temporal background to the human experience of environmental hazards and disasters. In addition, each chapter is followed by an abstract summarizing the important implications for today’s management practices and providing recommendations for policy makers.

Hybrid zones--geographical areas in which the hybrids of two races are found--have attracted the attention of evolutionary biologists for many years, both because they are windows on the evolutionary process and because the patterns of animals and plant variation seen in hybrid zones do notfit the traditional classification schemes of taxonomists. Hybrid zones provide insights into the nature of the species, the way barriers to gene exchange function, the genetic basis of those barriers, the dynamics of the speciation process. Hybrid Zones and the Evolutionary Process synthesizes theextensive research literature in this field and points to new directions in research. It will be read with interest by evolutionary biologists, geneticists, and biogeographers.
