Stuck with Tourism
Tourism has become one of the most powerful forces organizing the predatory geographies of late capitalism. It creates entangled futures of exploitation and dependence, extracting resources and labor, and eclipsing other ways of doing, living, and imagining life. And yet, tourism also creates jobs, encourages infrastructure development, and in many places inspires the only possibility of hope and well-being. Stuck with Tourism explores the ambivalent nature of tourism by drawing on ethnographic evidence from the Mexican Yucatán Peninsula, a region voraciously transformed by tourism development over the past forty years. Contrasting labor and lived experiences at the beach resorts of Cancún, protected natural enclaves along the Gulf coast, historical buildings of the colonial past, and maquilas for souvenir production in the Maya heartland, this book explores the moral, political, ecological, and everyday dilemmas that emerge when, as Yucatán’s inhabitants put it, people get stuck in tourism’s grip.
Mercados
Part travelogue, part cookbook, Mercados takes us on a tour of Mexico’s most colorful destinations—its markets—led by an award-winning, preeminent guide whose passion for Mexican food attracted followers from around the globe. Just as David Sterling’s Yucatán earned him praise for his “meticulously researched knowledge” (Saveur) and for producing “a labor of love that well documents place, people and, yes, food” (Booklist), Mercados now invites readers to learn about local ingredients, meet vendors and cooks, and taste dishes that reflect Mexico’s distinctive regional cuisine. Serving up more than one hundred recipes, Mercados presents unique versions of Oaxaca’s legendary moles and Michoacan’s carnitas, as well as little-known specialties such as the charcuterie of Chiapas, the wild anise of Pátzcuaro, and the seafood soups of Veracruz. Sumptuous color photographs transport us to the enormous forty-acre, 10,000-merchant Central de Abastos in Oaxaca as well as tiny tianguises in Tabasco. Blending immersive research and passionate appreciation, David Sterling’s final opus is at once a must-have cookbook and a literary feast for the gastronome.
Decolonizar los saberes mayas
En esta obra el lector encontrará las aportaciones de diversas disciplinas que analizan los saberes del pueblo maya, cuyas aportaciones desmitifican los discursos colonialistas que han puesto en riesgo los conocimientos y espacios territoriales, pero más allá de hablar de una opresión, se busca una comprensión hacia la cultura, su forma de vida y su cosmovisión, puestas en contraposición con los anteriores discursos institucionalizados que provienen de ideologías sociopolíticas y nacionalistas. De esta manera, las autoras y autores de esta obra nos presentan relatos que emanan de las voces del pueblo: los saberes mayas del K’aax, pasando por las prácticas autonómicas, constructivas, así como por la alimentación, el consumo y la salud, todo a través de la visión de niños, jóvenes, adultos y mujeres que comparten su propia visión del mundo, decolonizando así los saberes a través de diálogos que han quedado pendientes, de forma que se visibilizan otros modos de vida y visiones del futuro vigentes en la práctica cotidiana de los pueblos originarios.
