The Transnational Construction of Mayanness
The Transnational Construction of Mayanness explores how US academics, travelers, officials, and capitalists contributed to the construction of the Maya as an area of academic knowledge and affected the lives of the Maya peoples who were the subject of generations of anthropological research from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. Expanding discussions of the neocolonial relationship between the US and its southern neighbors and emphasizing little-studied texts virtually inaccessible to those in Mexico and Central America, this is the first and only set of comparative studies to bring in US-based documentary collections as an enriching source of evidence.

International Perspectives on the Goals of Universal Basic and Secondary Education
Although universal schooling has been adopted as a goal by international organizations, national governments, and non-profit organizations, little sustained international attention has been devoted to the purposes or goals of universal education. This book offers diverse views from experts around the world on the purposes of universal education.
El abrazo de amor de Kahlo, Estrada, Zenil y yo
El Abrazo de amor de Kahlo, Estrada, Zenil y yo teje una genealogía matrizal entre estos artistas desde la performatividad del cuerpo y sus procesos creativos. Tres hombres embarazados por Frida Kahlo es la (im)probable y potente metáfora que hace reflexionar sobre la (pro)creación de esta artista y cuestionar el ensimismamiento que ha despolitizado su trabajo artístico. La perspectiva de que lo personal es político atraviesa este estudio, destacando la autobiografía, el cuerpo y el contexto sociocultural como las bases primordiales del arte. Enlazados al trabajo artístico-investigativo del autor, estos artistas, temas y posiciones políticas construyen un bricolaje entre artes plásticas, danza contemporánea y performance para pensar-hacer el arte como lucha en nuestra América Latina colonizada, explotada, pero también valiente, exuberante y, si se quiere, revolucionaria.

Troubled Memories
Analyzes literary and cultural representations of iconic Mexican women to explore how these reimaginings can undermine or perpetuate gender norms in contemporary Mexico. In Troubled Memories, Oswaldo Estrada traces the literary and cultural representations of several iconic Mexican women produced in the midst of neoliberalism, gender debates, and the widespread commodification of cultural memory. He examines recent fictionalizations of Malinche, Hernán Cortéss indigenous translator during the Conquest of Mexico; Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, the famous Baroque intellectual of New Spain; Leona Vicario, a supporter of the Mexican War of Independence; the soldaderas of the Mexican Revolution;...
Sex in Revolution
Sex in Revolution challenges the prevailing narratives of the Mexican Revolution and postrevolutionary state formation by placing women at center stage. Bringing to bear decades of feminist scholarship and cultural approaches to Mexican history, the essays in this book demonstrate how women seized opportunities created by modernization efforts and revolutionary upheaval to challenge conventions of sexuality, work, family life, religious practices, and civil rights. Concentrating on episodes and phenomena that occurred between 1915 and 1950, the contributors deftly render experiences ranging from those of a transgendered Zapatista soldier to upright damas católicas and Mexico City’s chicas...
The Decline and Fall of the Lettered City
The cultural Cold War in Latin America was waged as a war of values--artistic freedom versus communitarianism, Western values versus national cultures, the autonomy of art versus a commitment to liberation struggles--and at a time when the prestige of literature had never been higher. The projects of the historic avant-garde were revitalized by an anti-capitalist ethos and envisaged as the opposite of the republican state. The Decline and Fall of the Lettered City charts the conflicting universals of this period, the clash between avant-garde and political vanguard. This was also a twilight of literature at the threshold of the great cultural revolution of the seventies and eighties, a revol...
