Ave de las tempestades
Al comenzar el siglo xx, Wistiano Luis Orozco era conocido en San Luis Potosí como un profesional relacionado con el gobierno estatal, un hábil abogado amigo de políticos, de terratenientes y de medianos y pequeños propietarios. Además, era el prolífico autor de una decena de folletos, y de un voluminoso texto sobre terrenos baldíos. Sin embargo, en los últimos años del porfiriato, se convirtió en un defensor legal de los actores rurales agraviados por las virulentas acciones de los políticos y latifundistas en San Luis Potosí

Latin American Culture and the Limits of the Human
This volume explores works from Latin American literary and visual culture that question what it means to be human and examine the ways humans and nonhumans shape one another. In doing so, it provides new perspectives on how the region challenges and adds to global conversations about humanism and the posthuman. Contributors identify posthumanist themes across a range of different materials, including an anecdote about a plague of rabbits in Historia de las Indias by Spanish historian Bartolomé de las Casas, photography depicting desert landscapes at the site of Brazil’s War of Canudos, and digital and installation art portraying victims of state-sponsored and drug violence in Colombia an...
Street Democracy
No visitor to Mexico can fail to recognize the omnipresence of street vendors, selling products ranging from fruits and vegetables to prepared food and clothes. The vendors compose a large part of the informal economy, which altogether represents at least 30 percent of Mexico’s economically active population. Neither taxed nor monitored by the government, the informal sector is the fastest growing economic sector in the world. In Street Democracy Sandra C. Mendiola García explores the political lives and economic significance of this otherwise overlooked population, focusing on the radical street vendors during the 1970s and 1980s in Puebla, Mexico’s fourth-largest city. She shows how t...
Italy in the European Union
Based on an analytical evaluation of both the weaknesses and strengths of the Italian political system, Italy in the European Union is the first book to offer a detailed and comprehensive description of Italy's contribution to European Union policy-making. The contributors to this volume systematically explore the role played by Italian institutional and noninstitutional actors in several decision-making processes. They show how Italian institutional actors define and promote national policy preferences that are compatible with those of the other European member states. However, the book functions on two levels: it is both a nuanced picture of Italy's role in the EU and a study of the EU as ...
El elefante en la sala. Neoliberalismo e historiografía revisionista del Porfiriato"
Este libro ofrece nbsp;una lectura a contrapelo de cierta historiografía revisionista sobre el Porfiriato. Se identifica una narrativa configurada por intelectuales y políticos porfiristas, por supuesto favorable al régimen de Díaz, que sobrevivió a la revolución y al régimen priista. Esa narrativa ha sido renovada y reciclada por el revisionismo dentro de los parámetros de la racionalidad neoliberal predominante en México y en buena parte del mundo. También realiza un examen crítico de textos y argumentos de historia política y de historia económica, que se dice representan lo mejor de la nueva historiografía.

The Scramble for Citizens
It is commonly assumed that there is an enduring link between individuals and their countries of citizenship. Plural citizenship is therefore viewed with skepticism, if not outright suspicion. But the effects of widespread global migration belie common assumptions, and the connection between individuals and the countries in which they live cannot always be so easily mapped. In The Scramble for Citizens, David Cook-Martín analyzes immigration and nationality laws in Argentina, Italy, and Spain since the mid 19th century to reveal the contextual dynamics that have shaped the quality of legal and affective bonds between nation-states and citizens. He shows how the recent erosion of rights and privileges in Argentina has motivated individuals to seek nationality in ancestral homelands, thinking two nationalities would be more valuable than one. This book details the legal and administrative mechanisms at work, describes the patterns of law and practice, and explores the implications for how we understand the very meaning of citizenship.
La toma de las calles. Movilización social frente a la campaña presidencial, ciudad de México, 1892
En la ciudad de México, la tercera reelección continua de Porfirio Díaz a la presidencia dio lugar a la formación de un movimiento social que manifestó su disconformidad a través de la toma de las calles. En 1892, estudiantes, artesanos y obreros -en estrecho vínculo con la prensa crítica- formaron clubes, organizaron reuniones y mítines, publicaron proclamas y periódicos y decidieron movilizarse públicamente. Este frente opositor retó al gobierno, pero no alteró la continuidad del régimen. Sin embargo, su irrupción tuvo un valor simbólico fundamental no sólo porque cuestionó la reelección en un momento en que las fuerzas porfiristas buscaban la unanimidad en favor d ela c...
