The Revolutionary Imaginations of Greater Mexico
Bringing to life the stories of political teatristas, feminists, gunrunners, labor organizers, poets, journalists, ex-prisoners, and other revolutionaries, The Revolutionary Imaginations of Greater Mexico examines the inspiration Chicanas/os found in social movements in Mexico and Latin America from 1971 to 1979. Drawing on fifteen years of interviews and archival research, including examinations of declassified government documents from Mexico, this study uncovers encounters between activists and artists across borders while sharing a socialist-oriented, anticapitalist vision. In discussions ranging from the Nuevo Teatro Popular movement across Latin America to the Revolutionary Proletariat...
Pierre Bourdieu in Hispanic Literature and Culture
Pierre Bourdieu in Hispanic Literature and Culture is a collective reflection on the value of French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu’s work for the study of Spanish and Latin American literature and culture. The authors deploy Bourdieu’s concepts in the study of Modernismo, avant-garde Mexico, contemporary Puerto Rican literature, Hispanism, Latin American cultural production, and more. Each essay is also a contribution to the study of the politics and economics of culture in Spain and Latin America. The book, as a whole, is in dialogue with recent methodological and theoretical interventions in cultural sociology and Latin American and Iberian studies.
Journalism, Satire, and Censorship in Mexico
Since the 2000 elections toppled the PRI, over 150 Mexican journalists have been murdered. Failed assassinations and threats have silenced thousands more. Such high levels of violence and corruption question one of the fundamental assumptions of modern societies, that democracy and press freedom are inextricably intertwined. In this collection historians, media experts, political scientists, cartoonists, and journalists reconsider censorship, state-press relations, news coverage, and readership to retell the history of Mexico's press.
Citizens of Scandal
In Citizens of Scandal, Vanessa Freije explores the causes and consequences of political scandals in Mexico from the 1960s through the 1980s. Tracing the process by which Mexico City reporters denounced official wrongdoing, she shows that by the 1980s political scandals were a common feature of the national media diet. News stories of state embezzlement, torture, police violence, and electoral fraud provided collective opportunities to voice dissent and offered an important, though unpredictable and inequitable, mechanism for political representation. The publicity of wrongdoing also disrupted top-down attempts by the ruling Partido Revolucionario Institucional to manage public discourse, exposing divisions within the party and forcing government officials to grapple with popular discontent. While critical reporters denounced corruption, they also withheld many secrets from public discussion, sometimes out of concern for their safety. Freije highlights the tensions—between free speech and censorship, representation and exclusion, and transparency and secrecy—that defined the Mexican public sphere in the late twentieth century.

De escándalo en escándalo
Este libro examina las causas y consecuencias de algunos de los escándalos políticos más emblemáticos del México de finales del siglo xx. Con fuentes históricas inéditas analiza la influencia que tuvieron los reportajes periodísticos tanto en los imaginarios populares como en los debates internos del gobierno. Para la década de los ochenta, los escándalos políticos de lo más diverso —desde los rumores de esterilización forzada en Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl hasta la censura gubernamental de Los hijos de Sánchez— eran una parte cotidiana de la dieta mediática nacional. Al tratar los casos de malversación, tortura, violencia policial y fraude electoral, entre otros temas, las in...
El sentido de las humanidades en la educación superior
Las situaciones del mundo contemporáneo han llevado a plantear la necesidad de responder de forma eficaz a los diferentes retos sociales, intelectuales, profesionales y personales que propone la realidad. En ese sentido, las cátedras humanísticas fomentan un proceso de formación de reflexión crítica, análisis de la realidad y acercamiento a situaciones sociales que marcan los horizontes de pensamiento y acción. El libro pretende expresar cómo se busca desarrollar este proceso desde las diferentes cátedras: cada capítulo manifiesta los mecanismos concretos y las ideas que subyacen al interior de estos espacios que fortalecen las humanidades en el ámbito universitario, profesional y social.
