Pasado, presente y futuro de la ciencia en México
Esta obra representa el esfuerzo y trabajo de un grupo de profesores del Centro Universitario de Tonalá (CUT), quienes, a través de la Academia de Historia del entonces Departamento de Ciencias Sociales del CUT, organizaron en abril de 2016 el Primer Coloquio de Historia de la Ciencia en México. Este evento logró reunir a más de cuarenta investigadores nacionales con diversas formaciones académicas y un objetivo común: el estudio de la historia de la ciencia, que fue posible mediante la presentación de ponencias en las que se conjugó lo multidisciplinario y lo transdisciplinario. Acciones como éstas nos dan la oportunidad de vincular el trabajo de nuestros investigadores con sus pares, al tiempo que interactúan con los estudiantes. El fruto de esta labor finalmente es un testimonio sobre historia de la ciencia. Los trabajos que integran el presente libro son resultado de la selección realizada por el Comité Editorial del CUT, que se encargó de revisar acuciosamente las ponencias presentadas durante el coloquio y que, sin duda, materializan el interés que existe en el ámbito nacional en torno a este campo del conocimiento.

Mexican American Baseball in Sacramento
"Mexican American Baseball in Sacramento explores the history and culture of teams and players from the Sacramento region. Since the early 20th century, baseball diamonds in California's capital and surrounding communities have nurtured athletic talent, educational skills, ethnic identity, and political self-determination for Mexican Americans. The often-neglected historical narrative of these men's and women's teams tells the story of community, migration, military service, education, gender, social justice, and perseverance. Players often became important members of their communities, and some even went on to become professional athletes--paving a path for Latinos in sports. These photographs serve as a lens to both local sports history and Mexican American history."--Amazon.com.
Mexican American Baseball in the Pomona Valley
This volume pays homage to the wonderful teams and players from Azusa, La Verne, Claremont, Pomona, Chino, Cucamonga, Ontario, and Upland. A common thread of all these diverse communities was the establishment of baseball teams and, later, softball teams. Baseball played a critical role in advancing civil and political rights, labor reform, gender equality, educational integration, and cultural legitimacy. These remarkable photographs revive the often-overlooked history of Mexican American baseball in the Greater Pomona Valley.
In Praise of Forgetting
A leading contrarian thinker explores the ethical paradox at the heart of history's wounds The conventional wisdom about historical memory is summed up in George Santayana's celebrated phrase, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Today, the consensus that it is moral to remember, immoral to forget, is nearly absolute. And yet is this right? David Rieff, an independent writer who has reported on bloody conflicts in Africa, the Balkans, and Central Asia, insists that things are not so simple. He poses hard questions about whether remembrance ever truly has, or indeed ever could, "inoculate" the present against repeating the crimes of the past. He argues that rubbing...
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.
