Sociabilidad y diversión en Puebla
Este libro quiere acercarse a la vida lúdica de hombres y mujeres que vieron en el pasado de la ciudad de Puebla, intentamos aprender a esos otros que han dejado trazos en la historia. En las nueva España del siglo XVI la manera de divertirse, como diría Sérge Gruzinsky, sufre cambios considerables, una cultura distinta se impone y, antes de que se construya una nueva, transita de manera continua entre dos formas, en un ir y venir, hasta que logra estacionarse en la cultura mestiza. Las transformaciones que el tiempo y las nuevas corrientes culturales se expresan en la fiesta y en la calle: lugares en donde florece el mestizaje. A través de su historia, Puebla es una ciudad de vastos ho...
Monuments of Progress
A social and cultural history of public health in Mexico during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The book offers a fresh take on the history of medicine and public health by shifting away from the history of epidemic disease and heroic accounts of medical men and toward looking at public health in a broader social framework. It shows how new public health policies were instrumental in the 'modernisation' of Mexico. Adds to a small, but fast-growing body of literature, on the history of public health in Latin America and other developing areas of the world.

Made in Mexico
The experiment with neoliberal market-oriented economic policy in Latin America, popularly known as the Washington Consensus, has run its course. With left-wing and populist regimes now in power in many countries, there is much debate about what direction economic policy should be taking, and there are those who believe that state-led development might be worth trying again. Susan Gauss’s study of the process by which Mexico transformed from a largely agrarian society into an urban, industrialized one in the two decades following the end of the Revolution is especially timely and may have lessons to offer to policy makers today. The image of a strong, centralized corporatist state led by t...
Sex in Revolution
Sex in Revolution challenges the prevailing narratives of the Mexican Revolution and postrevolutionary state formation by placing women at center stage. Bringing to bear decades of feminist scholarship and cultural approaches to Mexican history, the essays in this book demonstrate how women seized opportunities created by modernization efforts and revolutionary upheaval to challenge conventions of sexuality, work, family life, religious practices, and civil rights. Concentrating on episodes and phenomena that occurred between 1915 and 1950, the contributors deftly render experiences ranging from those of a transgendered Zapatista soldier to upright damas católicas and Mexico City’s chicas...
