Historia mínima del teatro en México
México es una nación con un pasado escénico extenso y diverso, sometido a los avatares de factores políticos y sociales y, sobre todo, a mutaciones en los estilos y en las dinámicas de la vida artística. En tanto actividad creativa que involucra la participación de artistas de diversa índole, en esta obra se siguen las huellas del teatro a través de tres dimensiones: la historia de los actores, de las compañías teatrales y de la actuación; la de los dramaturgos, los directores y sus obras; y la de los espacios teatrales y de la escenografía. Toda esta riqueza se ha sintetizado con el propósito de presentar un panorama general del teatro que el lector podrá disfrutar. “Ésta es una historia que merecía contarse”, se apunta al final de este libro; y, en efecto, ha sido contada con erudición y elegancia para beneficio de todos los interesados en el pasado lejano y reciente del teatro mexicano.

Uncivil Wars
The first English-language book to place the works of Elena Garro (1916–1998) and Octavio Paz (1914–1998) in dialogue with each other, Uncivil Wars evokes the lives of two celebrated literary figures who wrote about many of the same experiences and contributed to the formation of Mexican national identity but were judged quite differently, primarily because of gender.

The Mapping of New Spain
To learn about its territories in the New World, Spain commissioned a survey of Spanish officials in Mexico between 1578 and 1584, asking for local maps as well as descriptions of local resources, history, and geography. In The Mapping of New Spain, Barbara Mundy illuminates both the Amerindian (Aztec, Mixtec, and Zapotec) and the Spanish traditions represented in these maps and traces the reshaping of indigene world views in the wake of colonization. "Its contribution to its specific field is both significant and original. . . . It is a pure pleasure to read." —Sabine MacCormack, Isis "Mundy has done a fine job of balancing the artistic interpretation of the maps with the larger historical context within which they were drawn. . . . This is an important work." —John F. Schwaller, Sixteenth Century Journal "This beautiful book opens a Pandora's box in the most positive sense, for it provokes the reconsideration of several long-held opinions about Spanish colonialism and its effects on Native American culture." —Susan Schroeder, American Historical Review
