Linking household access to food and social capital typologies in Phalombe District, Malawi
Food security remains a major sustainability challenge in many parts of Sub-Saharan Africa. Food security has numerous determinants that are complex and interlinked, with one of them being social capital. Social capital reflects an individual’s, household’s, or community’s social networks, social interactions, and social support systems that can be mobilized in times of need to maintain, among others, livelihoods or food security. This study aims…

T heodore W. C ohen . Finding Afro-Mexico
Finding Afro-Mexico: Race and Nation After the Revolution analyzes blackness in Mexico and Mexican blackness from the early nineteenth century today through the works of Mexican and US intellectuals located in their respective histories and ideologies, particularly around nation-state formation, modernity, democracy, and race. Author Theodore W. Cohen demonstrates how they entered into dialogue and also talked past each other while he simultaneou…
Generic Pharmaceuticals as a Source of Diuretic Contamination in Athletes Subject to Sport Drug Testing
This paper describes nine instances of positive anti-doping tests that could be accounted for by the use of permitted generic prescription drugs contaminated with diuretics, which are prohibited in sport at all times under the WADA Prohibited List. The contamination levels found in the medications are reported and were below FDA limits for manufacturers that are based primarily on safety considerations. These cases demonstrate that great care mus…
De barcos y santos
Este artículo delinea la forma en que dos relatos de un pueblo ‘afromexicano’ de la Costa Chica de México apuntan a tensiones entre gente "negra" e "india.” Los relatos, que tratan del santo patrimonio del pueblo y de un naufragio de un barco con cargo de gente esclavizada, arrojan luz sobre las afirmaciones de identidad ancladas en la raza y el lugar, especialmente en la fusión de negrura e indigeneidad en la forma del ‘moreno,’ una categoría ra…
Chocolate and Corn Flour
Located on Mexico's Pacific coast in a historically black part of the Costa Chica region, the town of San Nicolás has been identified as a center of Afromexican culture by Mexican cultural authorities, journalists, activists, and foreign anthropologists. The majority of the town's residents, however, call themselves morenos (black Indians). In Chocolate and Corn Flour, Laura A. Lewis explores the history and contemporary culture of San Nicolás, f…
That little Mexican part of me
This article uses semi-structured interviews and participant observation to examine transnationalism and notions of race among first- and second-generation young adult Afro-descended Mexicans and Mexican-Americans in the United States. I suggest that transnationally inflected understandings of race encourage both generations to privilege place-based over ancestry-based racial identities. For the first generation, which is mostly undocumented, pla…
Early Microlithic Technologies and Behavioural Variability in Southern Africa and South Asia
Microlith production is a distinctive and significant stone tool technology. However, inter-regional comparative analyses of microlithic industries are rare, and tend to homogenise these industries by focussing analytical attention on retouched tool typologies alone. This volume provides the first demonstration and exploration of variability in two of the earliest microlithic industries in the world: the Howiesons Poort of southern Africa and the…
Educating for an Inclusive World
This article examines an innovative model of online international education regarding disability through a human rights perspective piloted through a collaboration between Universidad LaSalle, Mexico, and University at Buffalo, United States. The course is organized around a pressing global human rights and development issue. Its objective is to promote effective practice with persons with disabilities through cross-national, cross-disciplinary, …
The Village is Like a Wheel
Magazine, Roger (2012) The Village is Like a Wheel: Rethinking Cargos, Family and Ethnicity in Highland Mexico, University of Arizona Press ( Tucson, AZ), xi + 153 pp. £45.00 hbk. The Village is Like a Wheel is an ethnographically informed study of Tepetlaoxtoc, once a Nahuatl speaking highland Mexican community and now an exurban satellite of Mexico City. It is not precisely an ethnography, however. It is a conceptual rethinking of several major…
Indian allies and white antagonists
San Nicolás Tolentino, Guerrero, Mexico, is a ‘mixed’ black-Indian agricultural community on the coastal belt of Mexico’s southern Pacific coast, the Costa Chica. This article examines local expressions of race in San Nicolás in relation to Mexico’s national ideology of mestizaje (race mixing), which excludes blackness but is foundational to Mexican racial identities. San Nicolás’s black-Indians are strongly nationalistic while expressing a colle…
Rethinking the dispersal of Homo sapiens out of Africa
Current fossil, genetic, and archeological data indicate that Homo sapiens originated in Africa in the late Middle Pleistocene. By the end of the Late Pleistocene, our species was distributed across every continent except Antarctica, setting the foundations for the subsequent demographic and cultural changes of the Holocene. The intervening processes remain intensely debated and a key theme in hominin evolutionary studies. We review archeological…

Colby, Jason M. (2011) The Business of Empire: United Fruit, Race, and U.S. Expansion in Central America, Cornell University Press (Ithaca, NY and London), xi + 274 pp. £28.00 hbk. The Business of Empire examines the entanglement of US foreign policy and US private capital in Central America from the late nineteenth century through to the eve of the Second World War. With access to hitherto unknown United Fruit Company archives, Colby deftly ties…

African Environments and Resources
First published in 1988, this work provides a comprehensive picture of the range of physical environments in Africa, focusing upon those characteristics and issues central to the management of environmental resources. Beginning with an overview of the geographical and environmental history of Africa, the authors also provide to the evolution of the management of resources and then details a broadly defined ecosystem approach, in which major envir…

Modeling soil erosion and deposition within a Mediterranean mountainous environment utilizing remote sensing and GIS – Wadi Tlata, Morocco
This article presents the results of the GIS-based analysis of four Landsat and Spot images covering a fifteen year period (1987, 1994, 2000, 2002). The purpose of the study was to establish a means of rapidly determining land cover and land use changes, as well as spatial patterns of erosion and deposition, in areas with relatively poor data bases and where soil loss results primarily from nonchannelized flows. The procedure selected involved th…

From Sodomy to Superstition
Engaging primary documents and scholarly debates, this article examines an array of practices in colonial Mexico as it undertakes a discursive account of how gender ideologies informed the politics of discipline and a range of behaviors from atypical sexuality to cross-dressing and witchcraft. It speaks to a lived world set ambiguously between violations of social norms and the uncertainties of official culture as it examines these heterodox prac…

The Devil's Book of Culture
Modesty and Modernity
This article uses ethnographic techniques to examine photographic practices in and around San Nicolás Tolentino, Guerrero, a rural community in a historically black region of Mexico. At its core is a juxtaposed intepretation of a book of photographs entitled Tierra Negra (Black Earth), taken by a Mexican photographer in the early 1990s, and local people’s “home” photos, mostly portraits of family members displayed on the walls of sitting rooms. I…

Blacks, Black Indians, Afromexicans
In this article, I explore identity formation in Mexico from the perspective of residents of San Nicolas Tolentino, a village located on the Costa Chica, a historically black region of the southern Pacific Coast of Guerrero. Outsiders characterize San Nicolas's residents as black, but in Mexico, national ideologies, anthropologies, and histories have traditionally worked to exclude or ignore blackness. Instead, the Spanish and Indian mestizo has …

Blackness,""Femaleness" and Self-Representation
This paper examines a case heard by the colonial Mexican Inquisition in 1655. It addresses individual negotiations of race and gender in a society that hierarchized notions of personhood through a system of rankings based on Early Modern ideas about natural difference. In the New World context, those rankings subordinated women, blacks, Indians and "mixed-races" to the authority of Spanish men.

Colonialism and its Contradictions
This article examines patterns in the black/Indian relationship in Mexico during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It focuses on microlevels of society and on the practice of power in two pivotal domains, one centered on instances of labor coercion and civil control, and the other on what was labelled "witchcraft." The analysis suggests that Spanish colonialism embodied contradictions at its very foundations as it created sites of power fo…
