Susie S. Porter. From Angel to Office Worker
In this compelling work, From Angel to Office Worker: Middle-Class Identity and Female Consciousness in Mexico, 1890—1950, Susie S. Porter brings a new lens to labor history, shedding light on the important confluences between gender, class, and work as integral to broader structural developments of political economy. Delving into the local and gendered aspects of class formation, labor policies, and political organizing, Porter follows the lives…
Rethinking combined departments
Many opportunities for more integrated teaching that better capture the interdisciplinary nature of contemporary scholars' work and better achieve the aims of liberal arts education still remain untapped, particularly at smaller schools where combined departments are often necessary. The disciplinary boundaries between history and sociocultural anthropology have become increasingly blurred in recent decades, a trend reflected in scholarly work th…
Journeys to Others and Lessons of Self
Drawing on Michel Foucault’s concept of heterotopia, this article examines the importance of place and gender within constructions of race politics in Carlos Castaneda’s series on shamanism. Championing a “separate reality” predicated on an indigenous worldview, Castaneda’s lessons invited transnational middle-class youth to "journey" alongside him to camposcape—an anachronistic and idealized countryside—as a means to escape the bourgeois values …

At this time, a newly governing revolutionary elite sought to reinvigorate and “civilize” Mexico City through a series of urban reforms and public works, partly in response to their concern over wome…
Bataclanismo!or, How Female Deco Bodies Transformed Postrevolutionary Mexico City
In the spring of 1925, Santa Anita's Festival of Flowers seemed to follow its tranquil trend of previous years. The large displays of flowers, the selection of indias bonitas (as the contestants of beauty pageants organized in an attempt to stimulate indigenism were known) and the boat-rides on the Viga Canal, all communicated what residents of neighboring Mexico City had come to expect of the small pueblo in the Federal District since the Porfir…
