Cuerpo y persona
Esta obra está compuesta por 12 capítulos que, con diferentes marcos teóricos y metodológicos, exploran lo que acerca del cuerpo nos dicen los pueblos nawas, pumé, nahuas, yúhu, mayas, teenek, otomíes, chichimecas jonas y mixtecos. Su lectura nos permite afirmar que estos temas no están agotados para la antropología americanista.
Las religiones indígenas de Mesoamérica
Este libro ofrece una introducción general a las religiones de Mesoamérica. No persigue un fin enciclopedista, sino demostrar que, aun en la época de la hiperespecialización académica, los estudios mesoamericanos integrales no son imposibles. Un aporte fundamental de esta nueva propuesta es impulsar conceptos que no provienen de la teología y de la historia de las religiones, sino de las mismas prácticas indígenas. Términos como politeísmo, cosmología, mitología, sacrificio y oración deberían ser cuestionados, si se pretende entender las religiones mesoamericanas en su propia lógica relacional. Porque en Mesoamérica, la vida ritual trata sobre todo del manejo de relaciones so...

Mi novia, la tristeza
El recuento biográfico más completo, informado y original que se haya escrito sobre Agustín Lara. Más allá de la mera semblanza biográfica o la simple colección de anécdotas, estas páginas significan el encuentro más pleno y emotivo que se haya elaborado hasta hoy con la figura de Agustín Lara. Es una pintura vivaz e informada del gran compositor, del México que le tocó vivir, de su música, de sus intérpretes, de las películas en las que participó, así como de los avatares de una existencia de alguna manera marcada por la búsqueda de un ideal amoroso que se vislumbra en la letra de sus canciones. Hay, por tanto, aquí un minucioso retrato de las mujeres que amó y que marcaron su existencia. Verdadera leyenda viva, Agustín Lara seguirá en la memoria de todos gracias al trabajo que consigna Mi novia, la tristeza.
Freshwater Biodiversity
Fresh waters are disproportionately rich in species, and represent global hotspots of biodiversity. However, they are also hotspots of endangerment.
Star Gods of the Maya
“A prodigious work of unmatched interdisciplinary scholarship” on Maya astronomy and religion (Journal of Interdisciplinary History). Observations of the sun, moon, planets, and stars played a central role in ancient Maya lifeways, as they do today among contemporary Maya who maintain the traditional ways. This pathfinding book reconstructs ancient Maya astronomy and cosmology through the astronomical information encoded in Pre-Columbian Maya art and confirmed by the current practices of living Maya peoples. Susan Milbrath opens the book with a discussion of modern Maya beliefs about astronomy, along with essential information on naked-eye observation. She devotes subsequent chapters to ...
The Zapatista Movement and Mexico's Democratic Transition
Transitions from authoritarian to democratic governments can provide ripe scenarios for the emergence of new, insurgent political actors and causes. During peaceful transitions, such movements may become influential political players and gain representation for previously neglected interests and sectors of the population. But for this to happen, insurgent social movements need opportunities for mobilization, success, and survival. This book looks at Mexico's Zapatista movement, and why the movement was able to mobilize sympathy and support for the indigenous agenda inside and outside of the country, yet failed to achieve their goals vis-à-vis the Mexican state.
The Europeanization of National Foreign Policies Towards Latin America
Who shapes the European Union's policy towards Latin America? How has this EU policy modified individual member states' relations with the region? This book provides a comparative account of seven member states' bilateral links with Latin America since 1945, in the context of their EU membership and based on the concept of 'Europeanization'. It illustrates how and why the main architects of this EU policy have been Spain and Germany. In contrast, Poland, Sweden and Ireland, which had little previous interaction with Latin America, have developed their current relations with that region virtually as a result of their EU membership. The United Kingdom and France lie in the middle: they have been influential in certain policy-areas and key periods in history, while they have adapted to what is done at the EU level in others. Practitioners, established academic experts as well emerging scholars in the field bring to be bear a novel combination of pioneering research and cutting edge conceptual analysis on this important but neglected area of the EU's foreign relations.
Pot-Honey
The stingless bees are one of the most diverse, attractive, fascinating, conspicuous and useful of all the insect groups of the tropical world. This is a formidable and contentious claim but I believe it can be backed up. They are fifty times more species rich than the honey bees, the other tribe of highly eusocial bees. They are ubiquitous in the tropics and thrive in tropical cities. In rural areas, they nest in a diversity of sites and are found on the flowers of a broad diversity of crop plants. Their role in natural systems is barely studied but they almost certainly deserve that hallowed title of keystone species. They are popular with the general public and are greatly appreciated in zoos and gardens. The chapters of this book provide abundant further evidence of the ecological and economic importance of stingless bees.
