The history of anthropology is a growing field of study within the discipline itself. Our series 'Key Informants on the History of Anthropology' is offered as a contribution to the discussion of how anthropology, as it is understood and practised today, evolved and took shape. In this invited article, Larissa Adler Lomnitz reflects on how a cosmopolitan background aroused an interest in her in questions of social identity. Her studies of social n…

Our purpose in this paper is to offer an historical account of the relationship between basic, applied and technological research, as found in a case study of the Institute of Research in Applied Mathematics and Systems (IIMAS) at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).

This book presents the history of the Gomez, an elite family of Mexico that today includes several hundred individuals, plus their spouses and the families of their spouses, all living in Mexico City.

Studies of the informal economy in the Third World have evolved toward defining the informal sector in relationship to the state. This article analyzes some activities that escape the control of the state, with special attention to centrally planned economies. Informal exchanges include bureaucratic favors ("connections"), clientelism, different forms of corruption, and the "parallel" system of production and marketing. I show that economic laws …
Publication and Referencing Patterns in a Mexican Research Institute
Reference and publication patterns in the Institute of Biomedical Research of the National University of Mexico have changed over a twenty-year period (1959-79), reflecting the emergence of a scientific community. This paper analyzes these changes in terms of the development of a `critical mass' and of increasing international visibility, and participation in invisible colleges. Our findings show that a critical mass of Mexican biomedical researc…
