Violence, Coercion, and State-Making in Twentieth-Century Mexico: The Other Half of the Centaur
ISBN: 9780804781589 / Angielski / Twarda / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mexico is currently undergoing a crisis of violence and insecurity that poses serious threats to democratic transition and rule of law.

While most accounts of politics and the state in recent decades have emphasized processes of transition, institutional conflict resolution, and neo-liberal reform, this volume lays out the increasingly important role of violence and coercion by a range of state...

ISBN: 9780822350200 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A public art movement initiated by the postrevolutionary state, Mexican muralism has long been admired for its depictions of popular struggle and social justice. Mary K.

The Flower and the Scorpion: Sexuality and Ritual in Early Nahua Culture
ISBN: 9780822351382 / Angielski / Twarda / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Prior to the Spanish conquest, the Nahua indigenous peoples of central Mexico did not have a notion of "sex" or "sexuality" equivalent to the sexual categories developed by colonial society or those promoted by modern Western peoples. In this innovative ethnohistory, Pete Sigal seeks to shed new light on Nahua concepts of the sexual without relying on the modern Western concept of sexuality. Along with clerical documents and other Spanish sources, he interprets the many texts produced by the Nahua. While colonial clerics worked to impose Catholic beliefs--particularly those equating sexuality...

Madre : Perilous Journeys with a Spanish Noun
ISBN: 9780826351760 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It began with some graffiti on a wall: "A toda madre o un desmadre." Liza Bakewell was in Mexico doing research for her PhD, and although she thought her Spanish was fluent, she had never seen the expression before. When she asked what it meant, she was told that it wasn't proper for a woman to use those words. Intrigued with the way Mexicans shape their language and how language in turn shapes them, Bakewell developed a long list of "madre" expressions over the years. How can "me vale madre" mean worthless and " que padre " mean marvelous? Why does "madre" mean whore as much as... It began with some graffiti on a wall: "A toda madre o un desmadre."
