Humanities
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon became the editor in 2000. The subject categories for Volume 58 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Humanities Art History (including ethnohistory) Literature (including translations from the Spanish and Portuguese) Philosophy: Latin American Thought Music
The Dead March
Winner of the Bolton-Johnson Prize Winner of the Utley Prize Winner of the Distinguished Book Award, Society for Military History “The Dead March incorporates the work of Mexican historians...in a story that involves far more than military strategy, diplomatic maneuvering, and American political intrigue...Studded with arresting insights and convincing observations.” —James Oakes, New York Review of Books “Superb...A remarkable achievement, by far the best general account of the war now available. It is critical, insightful, and rooted in a wealth of archival sources; it brings far more of the Mexican experience than any other work...and it clearly demonstrates the social and cultura...
Collecting Mesoamerican Art before 1940
The untold chronicles of the looting and collecting of ancient Mesoamerican objects. This book traces the fascinating history of how and why ancient Mesoamerican objects have been collected. It begins with the pre-Hispanic antiquities that first entered European collections in the sixteenth century as gifts or seizures, continues through the rise of systematic collecting in Europe and the Americas during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and ends in 1940—the start of Europe’s art market collapse at the outbreak of World War II and the coinciding genesis of the large-scale art market for pre-Hispanic antiquities in the United States. Drawing upon archival resources and international...
Cuatro miradas sobre la religiosidad popular: antropología, historia, arte y teología
Este volumen colectivo, publicado por la Universidad Intercontinental, permite vislumbrar la complejidad de los fenómenos de la religiosidad popular desde una visión pluridisciplinaria.

La virgen, los santos y el orbe agrícola en el valle de Toluca
Los autores, abordan las distintas facetas del ciclo agrícola del maíz verificado en el valle de Toluca, así como la relación que guardan con el ciclo de fiestas católicas. A partir del material etnográfico reportado en diversas localidades del valle de Toluca, los estudios que aquí se presentan intentan dar cuenta de la persistencia de la actividad agrícola y de los cambios que experimentaría en el orden ideológico y ritual a raíz de la introducción del catolicismo en el valle de Toluca, destacando como punto notable la relación que adquiere la virgen María y los santos en la actividad agrícola. Lejos de dar por hecho que el catolicismo desarticuló y suprimió las expresione...
