This book explores the balance of power between the state and local communities, with particular reference to societies in the developing world. Nuijten shows how rituals of bureaucratic power and accusations of corruption give flesh to incredible fantasies, and conspiracy theories among officials, peasants and brokers. At the same time she shows that in this labyrinthine world of bureaucratic obstacles and state control, local agrarian communities manage to find certain room for autonomy. Drawing on her extensive fieldwork in Mexico, and her experience in the field of development, Nuijten draws wide conclusions that can be applied to many societies. Providing a detailed ethnography, she focuses on various themes, including a theoretical anthropology of state power; families and factionalism after agrarian reform; local organisation; questions of law; corruption; and development theory. Focusing on the relationships between a local community and the state, this study is relevant not only to political anthropology, but also to development studies more generally.

Weaving narratives with gendered analysis and historiography of Mexicans in the Midwest, Mexican Women and the Other Side of Immigration examines the unique transnational community created between San Ignacio Cerro Gordo, Jalisco, and Detroit, Michigan, in the last three decades of the twentieth century, asserting that both the community of origin and the receiving community are integral to an immigrant's everyday life, though the manifestations of this are rife with contradictions. Exploring the challenges faced by this population since the inception of the Bracero Program in 1942 in constantly re-creating, adapting, accommodating, shaping, and creating new meanings of their environments, Luz María Gordillo emphasizes the gender-specific aspects of these situations. While other studies of Mexican transnational identity focus on social institutions, Gordillo's work introduces the concept of transnational sexualities, particularly the social construction of working-class sexuality. Her findings indicate that many female San Ignacians shattered stereotypes, transgressing traditionally male roles while their husbands lived abroad. When the women themselves immigrated as well, these transgressions facilitated their adaptation in Detroit. Placed within the larger context of globalization, Mexican Women and the Other Side of Immigration is a timely excavation of oral histories, archival documents, and the remnants of three decades of memory.

El tema de las dinámicas culturales ha experimentado un desarrollo importante durante los últimos años dentro de la arqueología mesoamericana. Apoyándose a la vez sobre el mejoramiento de los conocimientos acerca de los contenidos culturales de las diferentes entidades, como de sus evoluciones diacrónicas, y gracias a una renovación de los acercamientos teóricos, el estudio de relaciones tan diversas como el comercio y el abastecimiento en materias primas, los intercambios a nivel de la ideología y la circulación de de las ideas, hasta las migraciones de grupos humanos, de nueva cuenta ha vuelto a ser tema de actualidad. Es en particular el caso de las relaciones complejas que se han establecido entre el occidente, el centro-norte, el noroccidente y la cuenca central, que encuentran así nuevas oportunidades de interpretación. E s t e volumen se propone revisar algunos aspectos de estas dinámicas culturales entre el Preclásico y el Epiclásico, a raiz de las investigaciones recientes. Se examinan sucesivamente el periodo Preclásico, c o n contribuciones sobre El Opeño, la cultura de las tumbas de tiro, la cultura Chupicuaro y la cuenca de México, el periodo Clásico, c o n el problema de las relaciones de Teotihuacán conel centro - norte , y por finel periodo Epiclásico con estudios realizados en Jalisco, Zacatecas, Guanajuato y el c e n t r o de México.
