Franciscan Frontiersmen
Pious and scholarly, the Franciscan friars Pedro Font, Juan Crespí, and Francisco Garcés may at first seem improbable heroes. Beginning in Spain, their adventures encompassed the remote Sierra Gorda highlands of Mexico, the deserts of the American Southwest, and coastal California. Each man’s journey played an important role in Spain’s eighteenth-century conquest of the Pacific coast, but today their names and deeds are little known. Drawing on the diaries and correspondence of Font, Crespí, and Garcés, as well as his own exhaustive field research, Robert A. Kittle has woven a seamless narrative detailing the friars’ striking accomplishments. Starting with a harrowing transatlantic...
City Unsilenced
What do the recent urban resistance tactics around the world have in common? What are the roles of public space in these movements? What are the implications of urban resistance for the remaking of public space in the "age of shrinking democracy"? To what extent do these resistances move from anti- to alter-politics?

En la próxima elección a la gubernatura del Estado de México se juega demasiado. No sólo es una elección local que definirá el futuro de la propia entidad. También es por razones conocidas y novedosas una elección nacional. Conocidas, porque es el estado más poblado, indisociable de la gran metrópolis, con el padrón electoral más grande, que le permite fincar al ganador un bastión determinante para la próxima elección presidencial. Novedosas, porque en esta elección acaso el PRI se juega su existencia misma, y la alianza opositora la suya. Si el PRI pierde, la coalición de la que es parte posiblemente también se disuelva como la conocemos. En esta elección se juega la sobr...
Last Water on the Devil's Highway
The DevilÕs HighwayÑEl Camino del DiabloÑcrosses hundreds of miles and thousands of years of Arizona and Southwest history. This heritage trail follows a torturous route along the U.S. Mexico border through a lonely landscape of cactus, desert flats, drifting sand dunes, ancient lava flows, and searing summer heat. The most famous waterhole along the way is Tinajas Altas, or High Tanks, a series of natural rock basins that are among the few reliable sources of water in this notoriously parched region. Now an expert cast of authors describes, narrates, and explains the human and natural history of this special place in a thorough and readable account. Addressing the latest archaeological a...
