Aníbal Quijano: Foundational Essays on the Coloniality of Power
The Peruvian sociologist Aníbal Quijano is widely considered to be a foundational figure of the decolonial perspective grounded in three basic concepts: coloniality, coloniality of power, and the colonial matrix of power. His decolonial theorizations of these three concepts have transformed the principles and assumptions of the very idea of knowledge, impacted the social sciences and humanities, and questioned the myth of rationality in natural s…

Niño Fidencio: De Roma a Espinazo Directed by Juan Farré
2008 , 87 minutes, color. Distributed by Dominio Digital , [email protected] Fidencio Constantino (1898–1938) became so famous for his miraculous cures that he drew thousands of afflicted patients to his isolated, arid village of Espinazo, located on the dividing line between the northern Mexican border states of Coahuila and Nuevo León.

Missionaries of the State: The Summer Institute of Linguistics, State Formation, and Indigenous Mexico, 1935-1985
The Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) is a curious hybrid: part serious linguistic research institution, part evangelical Christian missionary organization. In this well-written and meticulously researched monograph, Todd Hartch details the emergence of the SIL in the revolutionary Mexico of the 1930s and its steady growth over the next four decades in an improbable alliance with the Mexican state.Mexico in 1934 may seem an unlikely time and …

Rio Martin Perez
Río Martín Pérez Nancy Morejón (bio) Translated by David Frye (bio) Just when I'm about to lose a language I see the river of Martín Pérez, diminutive trickle: I'd love to lie postrate before it and greet the steady winds that blow in from the ocean; but first come hard times and more hard times, and there are bikes and vans and buses embroidered with the mud that forms a republican lace and a city bus with colorful ribbons like the smokestacks o…
A Stroll
I I've strolled through La Quinta de los Molinos. I've gone back to wander in its light at the hour of the Angelus with the Giraldilla between two crosses and her spear pitted against the arrow of Ochosi, the hunter. The ivy begins there. There the ivy ends. La Quinta de los Molinos has invented a present for me: the gift of contemplating it. Here the path does not end. It begins again. This is the route of my memory. II I wandered, imprisoned an…
Longings
Longings Nancy Morejón (bio) Translated by David Frye (bio) Not the sky but its shadow lying across the water Not the sea but its shadow sunken in the depths Not the sand but my friend its shadow Not my friend the monte but its shadow within the night Not the fire but the shadow of its metallic tongue Not the wind but the watery arc of the islands Not the ghost of deserted houses but the shadow of a world beyond Not the all but its one and only s…
Cuba and its Deep Africanity
Look at my coat of arms: it has a baobab, it has a rhinoceros and a spear. —Nicolás Guillén Cuba—which is not a Polynesian island, as a disoriented friend whom I met at a Cuban studies workshop in Halifax once believed—is more than an island, more than the "Pearl of the Antilles," more than the largest of the Great Antilles; it is an archipelago whose waters still harbor ecological mysteries, and which modern anthropologists never tire of reclaim…

Indians into Mexicans: History and Identity in a Mexican Town
The people of Mexquitic, a town in the state of San Luis Potosi in rural northeastern Mexico, have redefined their sense of identity from Indian to over the last two centuries. In this ethnographic and historical study of Mexquitic, David Frye explores why and how this transformation occurred, thereby increasing our understanding of the cultural creation of Indianness throughout the Americas. Frye focuses on the local embodiments of national and …

Bishops as Pawns in Early Fifth-Century Gaul
From 408 to 420 two men dominated the political landscape of southern Gaul: Constantine III and Constantius. They found there a region that was rife with centrifugal forces - fierce city rivalries, a squabbling priesthood, and an opportunistic nobility. But they also found a region whose unique resources made it indispensable to the stability of their regimes; southern Gaul was then both highly urbanised and rich in commerce, a prime source for t…
Property, Progeny, and Emotion: Family History in a Leonese Village
This article considers, from the historical, demographic, and anthropological points of view the various forms that the Leonese peasant family takes during its development cycle, and demonstrates the importance of extended and multiple family households in an area long characterized by partible inheritance and nuclear family households. Two methods of doing family history, at times held incompatible, are used and are shown to be complementary: a …
