In the Vortex of Violence
In the Vortex of Violence examines the uncharted history of lynching in post-revolutionary Mexico. Based on a collection of previously untapped sources, the book examines why lynching became a persistent practice during a period otherwise characterized by political stability and decreasing levels of violence. It explores how state formation processes, as well as religion, perceptions of crime, and mythical beliefs, contributed to shaping people’s understanding of lynching as a legitimate form of justice. Extending the history of lynching beyond the United States, this book offers key insights into the cultural, historical, and political reasons behind the violent phenomenon and its continued practice in Latin America today.
Handbook of Latin American Studies, Vol. 76
Beginning with Number 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research underway in specialized areas.
Transborder Media Spaces
Transborder Media Spaces offers a new perspective on how media forms like photography, video, radio, television, and the Internet have been appropriated by Mexican indigenous people in the light of transnational migration and ethnopolitical movements. In producing and consuming self-determined media genres, actors in Tamazulapam Mixe and its diaspora community in Los Angeles open up media spaces and seek to forge more equal relations both within Mexico and beyond its borders. It is within these spaces that Ayuujk people carve out their own, at times conflicting, visions of development, modernity, gender, and what it means to be indigenous in the twenty-first century.

Juventudes indígenas en México
Este libro pretende mostrar, desde disímiles aristas, cómo se estudia lo juvenil "indígena" y cómo los jóvenes indígenas viven en el México actual. Ofrece un horizonte investigativo amplio con miradas particulares que documentan la emergencia y las vivencias de estas juventudes entre las etnias contemporáneas. Definitivamente es una propuesta que aportará a la consolidación de los campos de investigación interdisciplinarios, así como a las comunidades epistémicas. Aquí ensayamos una mirada centrada en su movilidad y agencia para reconocer un nuevo modo de estar en el mundo a partir de la voluntad y pertenencia etnojuvenil. Los autores de este libro trabajan con jóvenes indígenas en distintos escenarios y con diferentes condiciones de México, y se enfocan en las transformaciones culturales, en sus anclajes juveniles y en sus vivencias.

Narrativa de tradición oral maya tojolabal
La narrativa de tradición oral no es solo un pasatiempo artístico con el que los tojolabales llenan las tardes de lluvia en torno al fuego, o las largas caminatas por las selvas, los llanos y las cañadas de Chiapas, en México. Con estos relatos, los más respetados miembros de la comunidad transmiten a los más jóvenes las creencias, las costumbres y los valores que consideran dignos de ser perpetuados. Las nociones del bien y del mal, los roles de género, los peligros de la avaricia o de la vagancia se transmiten, así, por medio de la literatura. Con estas historias sobre la Madre Luna y sus dos hijos, los hermanos Rayo, o el origen del maíz, los tojolabales nos cuentan quiénes son...
Mobilités au féminin. La place des femmes dans le nouvel état du monde
Les femmes sont devenues aujourd’hui, plus que par le passé, les protagonistes de l’émigration transnationale. L’attraction la plus forte est toujours exercée par les pays traditionnels tels les États-Unis, le Canada, la Grande-Bretagne, la Belgique, la France et les pays scandinaves, mais aussi par des pays apparus récemment dans la géographie de l’immigration, comme l’Espagne et la Grèce. Mais cette féminisation dépasse largement le cadre occidental. Plusieurs contributions de cet ouvrage l’évoquent également au sujet des migrations intra-africaines, au Moyen-Orient ou en Asie. Dans tous ces pays, les femmes représentent au moins 50 % de la population résidente ét...
