A ningún equipo de futbol le gusta jugar en una cancha que le dé ventajas a unos jugadores y afecte a otros. Ni que en cada partido cambien las reglas o que el árbitro las aplique para beneficiar al rival. Un requisito para que el marcador final sea justo es que el esfuerzo de cada futbolista no se vea obstaculizado por nada ni nadie y que el azar ejerza su imperio por igual entre todos los que salten al césped. En suma, hace falta una cancha pareja. Roberto Vélez Grajales y Luis Monroy-Gómez-Franco están convencidos de que algo semejante debe ocurrir con los ciudadanos y su acceso a lo mejor que ofrece la vida. En estas páginas, rompen una lanza por la igualdad de oportunidades, ent...

Beyond Mestizaje

Racism has historically been a taboo topic in Mexico. This is largely due to the nationalist project of mestizaje which contends that because all Mexicans are racially mixed, race is not a salient political issue. In recent years, however, race and racism have become important topics of debate in the country’s public sphere and academia. This book introduces readers to a sample of these diverse and sometimes conflicting views that also intersect with discussions of class. The activists and scholars included in the volume come from fields such as anthropology, linguistics, history, sociology, and political science. Through these diverse epistemological frameworks, the authors show how people in contemporary Mexico interpret the world in racial terms and denounce racism.

The Oxford Handbook of Education and Globalization

"The categories commonly mobilized to think about education have long been associated with the notion of the nation state, and functioned as obstacles, rather than resources, for our understanding of how globalization plays out in this particular field. In the last two decades, both social theory and comparative politics have attempted to overcome these limitations in their own way. Social theory increasingly acknowledged education as a global phenomenon. Theories have been developed to describe a global society evolving across borders. They show how, through processes that remain debated (cultural isomorphism, capitalism, functional differentiation), a number of structural and semantic evol...

The Political Economy of Transnational Power and Production

The Political Economy of Transnational Power and Production: Mexico's Metamorphosis 1982-2022 How and why Mexico’s socioeconomic structure was transformed through plutocratic preferences, US corporate strategies, and ideology—all powering transnational processes of neoliberalization—are issues examined in this comprehensive, carefully documented publication covering four crucial decades of metamorphosis. The causes and consequences of the creation of a new, regional power bloc—the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)—are extensively examined. Readers will benefit from the many important demystifications presented here, chronicling the asymmetric Mexico-US production system. ...

«Al hablar del cuerpo como un territorio, nos referimos a que es un espacio impactado por diversos problemas, un lugar en donde se inscriben una serie de normas y discursos culturales que lo fraccionan y establecen sus regiones y bordes, mapas a través de los cuales nos leemos y leemos a las demás personas.» Después de sulibro No son micro. Machismos cotidianos , Eréndira Derbez y Claudia de la Garza regresan con Mapas corporales, en el que proponen una aproximación a distintas partes del cuerpo en diversas culturas y épocas para poner en entredicho esas normas sociales que nos han construido durante años para, precisamente, desmantelarlas y poder resignificar cada una de estas inscripciones. De esta forma, Mapas corporales se convierte en una cartografía en la que podemos viajar, encontrar anécdotas sobre la nariz, el pelo o las piernas, cuya imposición del "deber ser" queda desmantelada y nos invita a una reflexión más profunda de los estereotipos que nos rodean. Un libro que nos recuerda que toda narrativa puede ser reinventada.
