Mexico at the World's Fairs
This intriguing study of Mexico's participation in world's fairs from 1889 to 1929 explores Mexico's self-presentation at these fairs as a reflection of the country's drive toward nationalization and a modernized image. Mauricio Tenorio-Trillo contrasts Mexico's presence at the 1889 Paris fair—where its display was the largest and most expensive Mexico has ever mounted—with Mexico's presence after the 1910 Mexican Revolution at fairs in Rio de Janeiro in 1922 and Seville in 1929. Rather than seeing the revolution as a sharp break, Tenorio-Trillo points to important continuities between the pre- and post-revolution periods. He also discusses how, internationally, the character of world's ...
Area-wide Integrated Pest Management
Over 98% of sprayed insecticides and 95% of herbicides reach a destination other than their target species, including non-target species, air, water and soil. The extensive reliance on insecticide use reduces biodiversity, contributes to pollinator decline, destroys habitat, and threatens endangered species. This book offers a more effective application of the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach, on an area-wide (AW) or population-wide (AW-IPM) basis, which aims at the management of the total population of a pest, involving a coordinated effort over often larger areas. For major livestock pests, vectors of human diseases and pests of high-value crops with low pest tolerance, there are ...
Latinx Revolutionary Horizons
A necessary reconceptualization of Latinx identity, literature, and politics In Latinx Revolutionary Horizons, Renee Hudson theorizes a liberatory latinidad that is not yet here and conceptualizes a hemispheric project in which contemporary Latinx authors return to earlier moments of revolution. Rather than viewing Latinx as solely a category of identification, she argues for an expansive, historicized sense of the term that illuminates its political potential. Claiming the “x” in Latinx as marking the suspension and tension between how Latin American descended people identify and the future politics the “x” points us toward, Hudson contends that latinidad can signal a politics groun...

El himno a Chiapas : antología
interior del mismo Estado, habiendo dispuesto además, exista […] uno de los cuerpos rurales, dependiente de esta Secretaría […]. El propio primer Magistrado desea que el Batallón y Regimiento que Ud. se sirva poner en pie estén armados con carabinas Mauser Winchester […].* Instrucciones similares emitió Victoriano Huerta a los otros estados con el fin de militarizar al país para tener el control y poder perpetuarse en el poder, al estilo porfirista. Esto lo denunció Belisario Domínguez en uno de sus célebres discursos. Sin embargo, en la tierra natal del prócer chiapaneco la instrucción no pudo cumplirse dada la precaria situación económica y gracias a la política conci...
Perspectivas innovadoras en investigación educativa: avances y desafíos
El devenir y la evolución de esta red de colaboración es notoria, puesto que en sus inicios contaba con 38 CA interesados en fortalecer su actuar, y a la fecha ha incrementado de manera considerable su membresía a 53 CA activos comprometidos con los procesos de formación y actualización de docentes.
