The Atlantic World: Europeans, Africans, Indians and Their Shared History, 1400–1900
From 1400 to 1900 the Atlantic Ocean served as a major highway, allowing people and goods to move easily between Europe, Africa, and the Americas. These interactions and exchanges transformed European, African, and American societies and led to the creation of new peoples, cultures, economies, and ideas throughout the Atlantic arena. The Atlantic World provides a comprehensive and lucid history of one of the most important and impactful cross-cul…
Intimate Enemies: Landowners, Power, and Violence in Chiapas
Since 1994 and the outbreak of the Zapatista rebellion in the southwestern Mexican state of Chiapas, this afflicted region has been the subject of an inordinate number of books. This recent book by Aaron Bobrow-Strain is one of the most interesting, original, and important books about Chiapas (and, I think, about rural Latin America) that has been published in the last 20 years. Bobrow-Strain points out that many historians of Chiapas have essent…
Quids and Aprons: Ancient DNA from Artifacts from the American Southwest
The success of ancient DNA (aDNA) studies rests on the preservation of DNA through time, and can be limited by the availability of skeletal samples from particular times and locations. To help overcome this limitation, we sought to extract, amplify, and type human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) preserved within 1000- to 2000+-year-old artifacts from the American Southwest. In this study, we successfully typed mtDNA from 21 quids and aprons from Basket…

La Revolucion: Mexico's Great Revolution as Memory, Myth, and History
The 1910 Revolution is still tangibly present in Mexico in the festivals that celebrate its victories, on the monuments to its heroes, and, most important, in the stories and memories of the Mexican people. Yet there has never been general agreement on what the revolution meant, what its objectives were, and whether they have been accomplished. This pathfinding book shows how Mexicans from 1910 through the 1950s interpreted the revolution, tried …

A rich land, a poor people: Politics and society in modern Chiapas
Chiapas, a state in southern Mexico, burst into international news in January 1994. Several thousand insurgents, given a voice in the communiques of Subcomandante Marcos, took control of the capital and other key towns and held the Mexican army and government at bay for weeks. Proclaiming themselves the Zapatista Army of National Liberation, they captured both land and headlines. Worldwide, people wanted to know the answer to one question: why ha…

The Decline of Community in Zinacantán: Economy, Public Life, and Social Stratification, 1960-1987
