Cold War Anthropologist
As an archaeologist, anthropologist, scholar, educator, and program evaluator for the U.S. State Department during the early Cold War era, Dr. Isabel T. Kelly’s (1906–1983) career presents a distinctive vantage point on the evolving landscape of U.S. foreign policy, Mexican rural welfare initiatives, and the discipline of anthropology. Her trajectory illuminates a shift toward pragmatic, culturally sensitive approaches in technical assistance programs for Mexico’s rural areas, departing from traditional U.S.-centric developmental paradigms. Kelly’s transition from a prominent archaeologist to a key figure in applied anthropology is meticulously chronicled, unveiling her pivotal role ...
The Peace Epistemologies of the National Coordination of Indigenous Women in Mexico
By focusing on the efforts of the National Coordination of Indigenous Women (CONAMI) to dismantle racism, sexism, ageism, and other forms of discrimination, this book challenges outdated assumptions about the roles of Indigenous people--especially women--in creating proactive, responsive, and socially progressive peace epistemologies.
Private Violence
"Private Violence: Latin American Women and the Struggle for Asylum engages women's stories to examine how gender-based violence compels asylum claims. Using women's narratives and ethnographic observation, this book explores how women negotiated barriers posed by both the immigration detention and judicial systems in their efforts to avoid removal from the United States and to win asylum"--
Weaving the Past
Weaving the Past is the first comprehensive history of Latin America's indigenous women. While concentrating mainly on native women in Mesoamerica and the Andes, it also covers indigenous peoples in a variety of areas of South and Central America. Drawing on primary and secondary sources, it argues that change, not continuity, has been the norm for indigenous peoples whose resilience in the face of complex and long-term patterns of cultural change is due in no small part to the roles, actions, and agency of women.
Climate Change, Human Security and Violent Conflict
Severe droughts, damaging floods and mass migration: Climate change is becoming a focal point for security and conflict research and a challenge for the world’s governance structures. But how severe are the security risks and conflict potentials of climate change? Could global warming trigger a sequence of events leading to economic decline, social unrest and political instability? What are the causal relationships between resource scarcity and violent conflict? This book brings together international experts to explore these questions using in-depth case studies from around the world. Furthermore, the authors discuss strategies, institutions and cooperative approaches to stabilize the climate-society interaction.
Antropologías feministas en México
Antropologías Feministas en México: Epistemologías, éticas, prácticas y miradas diversas constituye un esfuerzo colectivo que plasma una poderosa conversación entre antropólogas de varias instituciones, regiones y generaciones. A través de 20 capítulos se abordan desde los modelos epistemológicos surgidos en los años 80, hasta los acercamientos metodológicos, como el dialógico y el colaborativo. Se presentan trayectorias personales y temas abordados desde la perspectiva feminista, que dan cuenta de la persistencia de la cultura patriarcal y la violencia estructural que lesiona los derechos de las mujeres y de otros sujetos diversos, pero también se documentan expresiones de su agencia desde la academia, el activismo político, las organizaciones de la sociedad civil, los movimientos de mujeres indígenas, afrodescendientes, campesinas, lgtb+, entre otros; mostrando la vigencia del feminismo como una de las corrientes teórico-políticas más significativas de este milenio. La obra en su conjunto es una contribución a los debates actuales y al diálogo dentro y fuera de las ciencias antropológicas.
