El primer día de 1994 el nombre de Chiapas cobró en el ánimo de muchos, dentro y fuera de México, una novedad alarmante o promisoria. Sin embargo, las distintas regiones de ese territorio han concentrado durante años la dedicación de historiadores, antropólogos y otros especialistas. Esta actividad alienta, al margen del vocerío desatado desde aquella fecha, estudios tan amplios y generosos como el del autor. Este libro nos brinda datos y razones suficientes para comprender esta historia -y la Historia-como un tejido complejo y estimulante. Antes del paso inicial de guerreros y predicadores europeos, los caminos de esta zona habían sido ya abiertos y recorridos por diversos pueblos en busca de expansión, poderío o comercio. Después nada sería igual para ellos: la cuña de otra cosmovisión dio lugar a conflictos económicos, regionales, políticos, culturales y religiosos de los que este libro da cuenta puntual, conduciéndonos con gran agilidad narrativa a una encrucijada y una elevación desde la cual las fechas, los pobladores, los caminos, los antagonismo y los dilemas políticos de Chiapas -que es Occidente-, pueden ser observados con una provechosa voluntad.

Efforts to preserve, display and promote Breton cultural differences in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries marked a significant advance in heritage tourism, and a departure from what is commonly perceived to be a French intolerance of cultural diversity within its borders. This book explores the means by which key actors - middle class associations, businesses, governmental bodies, cultural intermediaries - pursued tourist development in the region and the effect this had on Breton cultural identification. Beyond those interested in the history of French tourism, this study will

In Desire for Development: Whiteness, Gender, and the Helping Imperative, Barbara Heron draws on poststructuralist notions of subjectivity, critical race and space theory, feminism, colonial and postcolonial studies, and travel writing to trace colonial continuities in the post-development recollections of white Canadian women who have worked in Africa. Following the narrative arc of the development worker story from the decision to go overseas, through the experiences abroad, the return home, and final reflections, the book interweaves theory with the words of the participants to b

"Plundered Kitchens, Empty Wombs examines the symbolic language of food, fertility, and infertility to illuminate the dynamics of social and cultural disintegration in a small, mountainous African kingdom." "In the Cameroon grassfields, an area of high fertility, women hold a paradoxical fear of infertility. By combining symbolic, political-economic, and historical analyses, Pamela Feldman-Savelsberg traces the way reproductive threat is invoked in struggles over gender and ethnic identities." "Plundered Kitchens, Empty Wombs should appeal to a broad audience in medical anthropology, public health, African studies, and women's studies as well as to development planners and population scientists."--Jacket
