Campañas, agitación y clubes electorales: organización y movilización del voto en el largo siglo XIX mexicano
Desde 1812 y en adelante, las elecciones celebradas en Nueva España y México partieron de un principio de sufragio amplio —con pocos momentos de restricción legal del mismo—, condición que obligaba a la organizacón y movilización del voto. Efectivamente, un electorado extendido no establece, no puede hacerlo, una relación directa, personal, con quienes serán sus representantes.

Mothers and Dogs
Drawing from everyday life in Mexico and abroad, these subtle, unsettling stories probe the boundaries between sanity and madness, life and death, safety and danger. The first story collection from prize-winning author Fabio Morábito available in English, Mothers and Dogs features fifteen tales that show the emotional extremes in seemingly trivial details and quotidian situations: two brothers worry more about a dog locked in an apartment who hasn’t been fed than they do about their dying mother; when the lights go out on a racetrack, a man’s evening jog turns into a savage battle between runners; a daughter learns to draft business letters as an homage to her mother. As he deftly explores feelings of loneliness and despair endemic in modern society, Morábito weaves threads of unexpected humor and lightness.

The Rabbit on the Face of the Moon
"The Rabbit on the Face of the Moon is a collection of articles on mythology in the Mesoamerican tradition by Alfredo Lopez Austin, one of the foremost scholars of ancient Mesoamerican thought. Their span is diverse: myths and names, eclipses, stars, left and right, Mexica origins, Aztec incantations, animals, and the incorporation of Christian elements into the living mythologies of Mexico. The title essay relates the Mesoamerican myth explaining why there is a rabbit on the moon's face to a Buddhist image and suggests the importance of the profound mythical concepts presented by each image." "The eighteen pieces in this volume are unified by their basis in Mesoamerican tradition and provide a fascinating look into a system of milennia-old legends and beliefs."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
