Beginning with the Porfiriato, the period between 1876 and 1911 named for the rule of President Porfirio Díaz, José Galindo identifies how certain behavioral patterns of the Mexican political and economic elite have repeated over the years, and analyzes aspects of the political economy that have persisted, shaping and at times curtailing Mexico’s economic development. Strong links between entrepreneurs and politi...
Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.

Padrão de reprodução do capital
A coletânea Padrão de reprodução do capital faz uma reinterpretação coletiva da história latino-americana por meio de uma história econômica da dependência.

From Al-Andalus to the Americas (13th-17th Centuries)
From Al-Andalus to the Americas (13th-17th Centuries). Destruction and Construcion of Societies offers a multi-perspective view of the filiation of different colonial and settler colonial experiences, from the Medieval Iberian Peninsula to the early Modern Americas. All the articles in the volume refer the reader to colonial orders that extended over time, that substantially reduced indigenous populations, that imposed new productive strategies and created new social hierarchies. The ideological background and how conquests were organised; the treatment given to the conquered lands and people; the political organisations, and the old and new agricultural systems are issues discussed in this volume. Contributors are David Abulafia, Manuel Ardit, Antonio Espino, Adela Fábregas, Josep M. Fradera, Enric Guinot, Helena Kirchner, Antonio Malpica, Virgilio Martínez-Enamorado, Carmen Mena, António Mendes, Félix Retamero, Inge Schjellerup, Josep Torró, and Antoni Virgili.

Emigración, tránsito y retorno en México
Las condiciones políticas, económicas y sociales no solo han potencializado sino que además han modificado los flujos migratorios en el mundo. Pobreza, desempleo, violencia, persecución y reunificación familiar son fenómenos que obligan a las personas a movilizarse desde o hacia su país de origen. México es fiel reflejo de ello. La ONU estima que más de 450 mil personas cruzan al año el territorio nacional hacia lo que esperan sea un destino mejor. Es un viaje largo, difícil, lleno de peligros, con repercusiones tanto físicas como mentales. En conjunto, esta obra aporta elementos relevantes para que académicos, servidores públicos y sociedad civil entiendan mejor las distintas vertientes adoptadas por el fenómeno migratorio, así como el esfuerzo que se realiza desde la academia y por parte de la Compañía de Jesús para mejorar las condiciones de vida de sus protagonistas.
