Histories of Drug Trafficking in Twentieth-Century Mexico
This work brings together a new generation of drug historians and new historical sources to uncover the history of the drug trade and its regulations. While the US and Mexican governments developed anti-drug discourses and policies, which criminalized both high-profile traffickers and small-time addicts, these authorities also employed the criminals and cash connected to the drug trade to pursue more pressing political concerns. The politics, socioeconomic relations, and criminal justice system of modern Mexico has been shaped by standing public and covert state policies as well as by the interaction of subnational trajectories of drug production and trafficking. The essays in this study explore this complicated narrative and provide insight into Mexico’s history and the wider contemporary global drug trade.

Conquista de México
Conquista de México. Catástrofe de los pueblos originarios es un nuevo enfoque de la conquista y la fundación de lo que fue la Nueva España. La considera parte de la historia universal en sus causas y efectos. La primera parte de este libro está dedicado a los cuatro grandes actores del drama: los amerindios en sus sociedades comunales de parentesco, sus jefaturas y sus formaciones tributarias; los europeos del capitalismo mercantil, comerciantes, prestamistas y corsarios; los españoles recién salidos de la Reconquista, conquistadores, frailes, funcionarios y colonos, así como los africanos que llegaron, a su pesar y en condición de esclavos, para tomar parte en la fundación de la ...
Vida y violencia
Élmer Mendoza escribe, como ocurre casi siempre con la gran literatura, sobre su país y sobre su tiempo. Sus obras, en especial las novelas noir protagonizadas por el Zurdo Mendieta, permiten entrever una sociedad compleja y marcada por los contrastes, que rezuma vida más allá de los tópicos y leyendas y de las realidades sobre la violencia y el narco. Culiacán, capital de Sinaloa, es el centro de este mundo fascinante. El ensayo de Jordi Canal, de aires híbridos y muy personales, que emerge de un diálogo entre historia y crítica literaria, propone una aproximación a los espacios construidos por Mendoza, definidos por lugares, territorios, encuentros, comidas, sonidos y muchas palabras.
Introduction to the Mexican Real Estate System
This title is currently out of print. Introduction to the Mexican Real Estate System was written to fill a knowledge gap between foreign professionals, lenders, and investors, on the one hand, and the fascinating Latin country whose emerging economy, population, and opportunities will set the tone for North America development in the years to come. As the author says in his Introduction, "One may well debate whether the Americanization of Mexico is better or worse than the Mexicanization of the United States, but there is no longer any question of the direction in which history is moving." Neither an arid legal treatise, nor a compendium of experiential anecdotes, the book attempts to strike the right balance between the general and the specific, between the deep background and the nitty-gritty of daily practice, to deliver to its readers a functional knowledge of the subject.
