Etnografía, ornitología y la cosmovisión de una curandera maya tsotsil
En esta notable obra colaborativa, Diane Rus comparte la visión espiritual del mundo de su amiga y curandera tradicional Maruch Méndez. Las aves mensajeras ocupan un lugar central en la vida y la práctica de Méndez, co-nectándola con una fascinación panmaya por las aves, en su rol tanto sagrado como profano, que se remonta a muchos siglos atrás. Este retrato único de una curandera muy respetada de San Juan Chamula, Chiapas, establece un nuevo est…

Pan-American Indigenismo (1940-1970)
Indigenista Dreams Meet Sober Realities
In 1951, Mexico's National Indigenist Institute (Instituto Nacional Indigenista-INI) opened its pilot coordinating center in highland Chiapas. For several years, Mexico's top indigenistas directed the center and tested several innovative projects aimed at promoting economic development, modernization, and cultural assimilation among the Tzeltal and Tzotzil Maya. They also tried to protect the indigenous from their worst non-Indian exploiters. Aft…
Modernizing Message, Mystical Messenger
The Mexican government's National Indigenist Institute ( Instituto Nacional Indigenista , or INI) was at a crossroads in early 1954. Three years after opening its pilot Indigenist Coordinating Center ( Centro Coordinador Indigenista , or CCI) in San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas, the INI had managed to launch several development projects in the highlands despite the hostility of local ladinos (non-Indians) and the indifference and distrust of m…

The Posthumous Career of Emiliano Zapata
Thirteen years after writing a major biography on Emiliano Zapata, Samuel Brunk has produced a thoughtful sequel that weaves the struggle over Zapata’s legacy into the course of modern Mexican history. Brunk documents how the Mexican Revolution’s most ideologically consistent protagonist in life became its most malleable and manipulated symbol in death. Although some of the material in this book will be familiar to scholars who have followed Brun…
Not Just `Skin Deep
This study examined links between anxiety pertaining to having one's skin evaluated by others and intention to participate in sport/exercise, general self-esteem and dermatological quality of life. Data assessing dermatological-related social anxiety, perceived acne severity, intention to participate in sport/exercise, self-esteem and dermatological quality of life were obtained from 50 acne patients. Results showed dermatological-related social …
Mexico's National Indigenist Institute and the Negotiation of Applied Anthropology in Highland Chiapas, 1951-1954
Based on documents housed in Mexico City and Chiapas, this essay describes how Mexico's National Indigenist Institute (INI) managed to establish its pilot Coordinating Center in highland Chiapas in 1951. Facing opposition from the state government, the state alcohol monopoly, and many Tzeltal and Tzotzil indigenous communities, the INI employed bilingual indigenous "cultural promoters" to negotiate its programs in education, road construction, an…
The Eagle and the Virgin
When the fighting of the Mexican Revolution died down in 1920, the national government faced the daunting task of building a cohesive nation. It had to establish control over a disparate and needy population and prepare the country for global economic competition. As part of this effort, the government enlisted the energy of artists and intellectuals in cultivating a distinctly Mexican identity. It devised a project for the incorporation of indig…
Church and State Education in Revolutionary Mexico City
This meticulously researched monograph makes important historiographic contributions that belie its modest scope. Schell focuses on municipal and especially state and church education in Mexico City during the nine years following the promulgation of the Constitution of 1917. All three school systems sought to educate, “moralize,” and “sanitize” the working class. Schell writes, “Since the goals of the [Catholic] social action movement and the so…
A Window into the Recent Past in Chiapas
In the 1920s and 1930s Mexico's Ministry of Public Education (SEP) launched ambitious projects aimed at modernizing and "civilizing' the highlands of Chiapas "incorporating' its indigenous populations into the national mestizo mainstream, and imposing federal laws and instiaitions in the state. SEP teachers met fierce resistance from ladino alcohol mercliants, debt-labor contractors, planters and politicians and from the Tzotzil and Tzeltal Maya …

Roots of Identity
Despite over fifty years of literacy training by the Mexican government, the National Census records an illiteracy rate of over 70 percent in most Indian communities. This book attempts to discover why so many Indians are illiterate today despite an indigenous literary tradition that dates back to the pre-Conquest period. The author sees language as the main factor explaining the high illiteracy rate in the Indian regions. Although alphabets have…
The Centre Cannot Hold
The first three months of 1994 were unkind to the Mexican political establishment. In Chiapas, the Ejercito Zapatista de Liberacion Nacional reminded the world that the brassy lustre of President Salinas' sexenio masked grave economic inequalities and a corrupt political system. When the Zapatista conflict showed signs of concluding in March, the establishment was dealt another serious blow when Salinas' hand-picked successor Luis Donaldo Colosio…
