This study of the Mexican meat industry's resistance to American processing methods illustrates one of the popular origins of the Revolution of 1910 and how Mexican butchers preserved their traditional craft.
Identity, Ritual, and Power in Colonial Puebla
Located between Mexico City and Veracruz, Puebla has been a political hub since its founding as Puebla de los Ángeles in 1531. Frances L. Ramos’s dynamic and meticulously researched study exposes and explains the many (and often surprising) ways that politics and political culture were forged, tested, and demonstrated through public ceremonies in eighteenth-century Puebla, colonial Mexico’s “second city.” With Ramos as a guide, we are not only dazzled by the trappings of power—the silk canopies, brocaded robes, and exploding fireworks—but are also witnesses to the public spectacles through which municipal councilmen consolidated local and imperial rule. By sponsoring a wide vari...
The Cambridge History of Religions in Latin America
The Cambridge History of Religions in Latin America covers religious history in Latin America from pre-Conquest times until the present. This publication is important; first, because of the historical and contemporary centrality of religion in the life of Latin America; second, for the rapid process of religious change which the region is undergoing; and third, for the region's religious distinctiveness in global comparative terms, which contributes to its importance for debates over religion, globalization, and modernity. Reflecting recent currents of scholarship, this volume addresses the breadth of Latin American religion, including religions of the African diaspora, indigenous spiritual expressions, non-Christian traditions, new religious movements, alternative spiritualities, and secularizing tendencies.
Die „andere“ [moderne] mexikanische Literatur
Die Kulturgeschichte in Mexiko Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts ging von einer Ruhephase in eine fast fiebrige Phase über und brachte eine „andere“ [moderne] Literatur hervor, was mit der Entstehung einer neuen literarischen Generation einherging. Salvador Elizondo, Inés Arredondo, Juan Vicente Melo, Sergio Pitol, Vicente Leñero, Julieta Campos, José de la Colina und Juan García Ponce stehen für die Hinwendung der mexikanischen Literatur zu einer Welt der Subjektivität, der inneren Realitäten. Diese neue Generación de la Casa del Lago, deren Wirkungszeitraum zwischen 1956 und 1968 verortet werden kann, sollte in die Periodisierung der mexikanischen Kulturgeschichte als literarische Ge...
Religiosidades y feligresías
Los autores comparten con el lector 15 estudios sobre la formación y manifestación de cultos y devociones en el México novohispano y en el México del presente, con una explicación sobre las diferentes rutas que las expresiones religiosas han tomado y cómo estos cultos y devociones definieron su curso. Destacan también el protagonismo de las sociedades y sus actores, así como de las diferentes instancias que las integran, las cuales marcan el ritmo en que se comporta su religiosidad que, dicho sea de paso, es compleja en sus formas y ha sido estudiada por diversas instituciones como un fenómeno religioso en el que las devociones, los cultos y la formación de identidades en México y...

Cork Oak Woodlands on the Edge
Cork oak has historically been an important species in the western Mediterranean—ecologically as a canopy or “framework” tree in natural woodlands, and culturally as an economically valuable resource that underpins local economies. Both the natural woodlands and the derived cultural systems are experiencing rapid change, and whether or not they are resilient enough to adapt to that change is an open question. Cork Oak Woodlands on the Edge provides a synthesis of the most up-to-date, scientific, and practical information on the management of cork oak woodlands and the cultural systems that depend on cork oak. In addition, Cork Oak Woodlands on the Edge offers ten site profiles written ...
