Estado de México
Los autores destacan que las instituciones, entendidas como reglas de juego que marcan los límites entre lo permitido y lo prohibido, son las que posibilitan la forma y contenido de las prácticas productivas y el comportamiento de los actores, no sólo en lo económico, sino también en lo social y político. En este libro se muestran las instituciones relacionadas con diversos aspectos del desarrollo y de la organización de la sociedad que facilitan la entrada para que diversos actores confluyan en los procesos políticos, sociales, ambientales, productivos y se vinculen con una forma de desarrollo. Argumentan que el Estado moderno es sin duda la institución formal por excelencia y que ...
Touching Bellies, Touching Lives
When I got there, I found the girl lying on the floor, naked and screaming, with the baby’s foot sticking out. Judy Gabriel gives humble, authentic voice to the personal experiences and practices of scores of traditional midwives in rural Mexico. The midwives talk about their childhoods, marriages, losses, rituals, and techniques. The rich narratives describe childbirth before modern medicine redefined it. Intended to engage, enrich, and inspire, Gabriel’s work tells of the women who received generations of babies into their hands when knowledge about childbirth came from women’s bodies, from instinct, from dreams, and from other women. The stories unfold in the context of high-intervention obstetrics and soaring Cesarean rates, a world that often degrades women and violates the sanctity of birth. An ideal supplemental text for courses in cultures of Mesoamerica; the anthropology of reproduction, midwifery, and birth; medical or biological anthropology; and midwifery practice in historical and cross-cultural context.

Agustín Jiménez
Mexico City-born photographer Agust n Jim nez (1901-1974) was at the center of his country's flourishing avant-garde, which emerged in the 1920s when international photographers like Edward Weston and Tina Modotti began to travel extensively there and relationships between the local and foreign artists led to aesthetic breakthroughs on both sides. Jim nez is known for crafting an indigenous version of Romantic Pictorialism very akin to Weston's. Jim nez also collaborated closely with the Mexican illustrated press throughout the 1920s and 30s, and in the latter decade became involved with the country's burgeoning motion picture industry--first as a still photographer and then as a cinematographer, in collaboration with such seminal figures as Sergei Eisenstein, Adolfo Best Maugard and Fernando de Fuentes. This volume contains a substantial selection of Jim nez's photographs and provides a deserved overview of his rich oeuvre.
