Pentecostalism in Urban Oaxaca
An ethnography focusing on a Pentecostal church community and their pursuit of healing marriages and prosperity Pentecostalism in Urban Oaxaca is a timely feminist ethnography set in a Pentecostal church community in Oaxaca de Juarez.

Realidades y falacias en torno al aborto
A raíz de la aprobación en 2007 de la despenalización del aborto en la Ciudad de México y de la acción de inconstitucionalidad que se promovió contra ésta, la Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación convocó en 2008 a audiencias públicas en las que se expusieron argumentos a favor y en contra de la reforma. Con el fin de contribuir a una reflexión rigurosa y fundamentada acerca de esta compleja cuestión, este libro analiza dichos argumentos desde la perspectiva del derecho a la salud y los derechos humanos, en el contexto de la política de población en México y de las evidencias científicas acerca del impacto de los marcos jurídicos en la salud y bienestar de las mujeres (en el mundo).
Dinámica demográfica de México en el siglo XXI.
Esta obra se divide en dos tomos y su propósito consiste en ofrecer una guía para los lectores sobre los niveles y las tendencias en los componentes demográficos del país durante las dos primeras décadas de la centuria, así como acerca de las perspectivas hacia el futuro cercano (2030-2050). Este libro se mantiene en la tradición del texto Dinámica de la población en México publicado por El Colegio de México en 1970. Si las preocupaciones centrales en aquel momento giraban en torno al crecimiento poblacional, la distribución territorial y el proceso de urbanización, el contexto demográfico de ahora invita a pensar en la tendencia hacia la estabilización poblacional, el cambio en la estructura por edades, las migraciones por causas diversas y el proceso de envejecimiento, entre otros temas.
The Public/Private Sector Mix in Healthcare Delivery
In examining the mix of public and private sector funding of healthcare services as well as the mix of public and private sector delivery of services in various national contexts, the volume addresses the question of how various national systems are affected with respect to their ability ---or the lack thereof --- to achieve the goals of health equity and quality of healthcare in an efficient manner.
Cervical Cancer Control in Latin America and the Caribbean
Worldwide, more than half a million women are diagnosed with cervical cancer annually and more than 300,000 die from the disease. At least 85% of the deaths occur in low-middle income countries (LMICs)and almost 10% of them in Latin America (LATAM) and the Caribbean, where mortality rates are almost five times higher than in high-income areas. Infection with high-risk subtypes of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a necessary, but not sufficient cause of cervical cancer. The natural history of the disease involves persistent high-risk HPV infections, followed by the development of precancerous cervical lesions, and progression to invasive cervical cancer, in a process that usually occurs thro...
