The Mexican Mahjar

Migration from the Middle East brought hundreds of thousands of people to the Americas in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. By the time the Ottoman political system collapsed in 1918, over a third of the population of the Mashriq, i.e. the Levant, had made the transatlantic journey. This intense mobility was interrupted by World War I but resumed in the 1920s and continued through the late 1940s under the French Mandate. Many migrants returned to their homelands, but the rest concentrated in Brazil, Argentina, the United States, Haiti, and Mexico, building transnational lives. The Mexican Mahjar provides the first global history of Middle Eastern migrations to Mexico. Making...

El lenguaje de la secularización en América Latina. Contribuciones para un léxico

Este volumen es producto de una confluencia de experiencias historiográficas heterogéneas, forjadas en la práctica de la historia política, la historia religiosa y la historia conceptual desde diversos puntos de la geografía latinoamericana y reunidas en el grupo de trabajo, Religión y política, de la red Iberconceptos de historia conceptual comparada. Ofrece un acercamiento a la forma en que la producción histórica de campos diferenciados para lo político y lo religioso tuvo lugar en el lenguaje y, a través de éste, en las prácticas, instituciones y relaciones políticas.

Noches tapatías

Poco queda de la vida cabaretera en Guadalajara que durante décadas fue parte central del entretenimiento tapatío. Sin embargo, su existencia forma parte de un proceso sociocultural trascendente en las ciudades mexicanas, que a la par de los escenarios y pistas de baile, vieron reflejada la vida del cabaret en el cine mexicano entre 1940 y 1980. Este libro permite observar la vida cabaretera tapatía de una perspectiva histórica pero también con un firme interés en relacionarla con su contexto: favorecida por el crecimiento dela ciudad, fomentada por los medios de comunicación masiva y desgastada por la llegada de nuevas tendencias y modas en las maneras de divertirse en las urbes del país. Ante los estereotipos y creencias sobre la vida del cabaret en Guadalajara, este libro contrapone testimonios, publicidades, cine y documentos para ofrecer una historia de una forma importante de entretenimiento durante el siglo XX.

The Struggle Against Enforced Disappearance and the 2007 United Nations Convention

Enforced disappearance is one of the most serious human rights violations. It constitutes an autonomous offence and a crime under international law on account of its multiple and continuing character. It is not a phenomenon of the past, nor is it geographically limited to Latin America: such scourge is widespread today and on the increase in other continents. For more than twenty-five years, relatives of disappeared people worldwide have insisted on the pressing need for an international legally binding instrument against enforced disappearances. 2006 is the year of the adoption of the International Convention on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearances, which represents the result of several legislative and jurisprudential developments that are duly analyzed in this book. The Convention has been opened for signature in February 2007.
