Abstract

Chicana/Latina Studies is an interdisciplinary, peer reviewed, flagship serial publication of a feminist Chicana/Latina and Native women's academic organization, Mujeres Activas en Letras y Cambio Social (MALCS, Women Active in Research and Social Change). MALCS is dedicated to building bridges between community and university settings, transforming higher education, and promoting new paradigms and methods. Originally published as Voces: A Journal of Chicana/Latina Studies, the name changed to Chicana/Latina Studies: The Journal of Mujeres Activas en Letras y Cambio Social in 2003. As the publication of a diverse association that aims to provide space for those historically marginalized, the Journal is receptive to all scholarly methods and theoretical perspectives that examine, describe, analyze, or interpret the experiences of Chicanas/Latinas and Native women. The journal welcomes English or Spanish submissions of scholarship, commentary, reviews, and creative writing. It is published twice a year, in spring and fall.

Abstract

The OECD Territorial Review of Mexico City highlights the region’s great potential for further growth, which is linked to the concentration of headquarters, educational establishments and research facilities, as well as high levels of FDI and rich cultural resources. However, it also reveals that this growth is constrained by low levels of human capital, inadequate infrastructure and widespread, acute poverty. The current governance framework, characterised by modest co-operation, also remains a sticking point for the region’s development.

Abstract

Free Trade and the Environment examines the impact economic integration has on the environment, using Mexico, which transformed itself from one of the most closed economies to one of the world's most open, as a case study. As new nations join the Free Trade Area of the Americas or the World Trade Organization, they are considering the path taken by Mexico nearly 20 years ago. The author investigates two commonly held and opposing beliefs in the policy community about the impact of free trade on the environment. While some believe that free trade will raise incomes in developing countries, thus encouraging governments to protect the environment, others argue that free trade simply provides an incentive for heavily polluting industries to move to developing countries with lax environmental regulations. The author shows that for Mexico in fact neither position is correct, and concludes with suggestions for free trade policies that couple environmental benefits with economic integration.

Abstract

"Witnessing AIDS demonstrates the extent to which memoirs and diaries intervene in the creation of cultural memory. Brophy's aim is to develop a framework for reading, one that begins to grasp the significance of our unresolved grief in response to AIDS and its effect upon testimonial writing. By highlighting our profound investment in the mundane intimacies of illness, death, and grief, Brophy resituates a number of critical debates surrounding autobiography, trauma, and memory at new and provocative intersections."--Jacket.

Abstract

Cet ouvrage, dont la direction scientifique a été confiée à Serge Fauchereau, parcourt soixante ans de création au Mexique, de 1910, date de la révolution mexicaine, jusqu'au années soixante. Il aborde également l'art mexician à travers le prisme de ses relations avec l'Europe, des influences croisées et des compagnonnages artistiques qui se nouèrent durant cinq décennies, marquées par les temps forts du muralisme et du surréalisme. Sa perspective est pluridisciplinarie, des arts plastiques et graphiques à la photographie, de la littérature au cinéma.

Abstract

La idea de este homenaje fue de Samuel del Villar quien, al trabajar temas de la hacienda pública en México, quedo profundamente impresionado por las aportaciones de don Víctor en esta área. Víctor Urquidi fue el cuarto presidente de El Colegio de México y estuvo al frente de nuestra institución por cuatro periodos que abarcaron de 1966 a 1985. En El C olegio de México, don Víctor fundó el Centro de Estudios Sociológicos, participó en la conformación actual de los centros de Estudios Demográficos y de Desarrollo Urbano, de Estudios Económicos y de Esudios de Asia y África; también favoreció el establecimiento de los programas de Ciencia y Tecnología, del Diccionario del Español de México, de Energéticos, de Formación de Traductores y el Interdisciplinario de Estudios de la Mujer. Como investigador su trayectoria también es sobresaliente. Fue director de la subsede de la CEPAL en México. Junto con el doctor Raúl Prebish, participó en la formulación de nuevas políticas para el desarrollo de América Latina, con enfásis particular en la construcción de un mercado común centroamericano del cual fue el principal promotor.

Abstract

"Written by leading authorities and including thirteen personal accounts of the latest ground-breaking research, Courtly Arts of the Ancient Maya examines the royal courts and their art in unprecedented depth. Color photographs and specially commissioned drawings reveal a dazzling array of objects that still have the power to engage and astonish observers centuries after their creation." "The book investigates the rise in the importance of the court, its mythical backdrop, the role of women and the place of warfare. The works of artists and scribes - ceramic censers, stucco heads, jade masks, terracotta figurines, stone boxes, and great carved limestone lintels - bring alive the form, texture, and color of their vanished world."--BOOK JACKET.
