Masculinity, Femininity, and Trauma in Tierra Blanca
A.S. Dawson, The Peyote Effect
Black Market Capital
Tepito, a barrio bravo in the heart of Mexico City, has been characterized as one of the most dangerous marketplaces in the world. It spreads over dozens of square blocks a short distance from the Zócalo. Tepito has a long and complex past, and Andrew Konove's Black Market Capital tells a complicated history of the street market that preceded Tepito in the plaza and surrounding areas until it was moved to its current location. In this engaging an…
A Woman Formed the First Cartel? Historical imagination and realities of the US-Mexico drug war
Weaving together three historical and contemporary case studies of Mexican female drug traffickers, this article challenges continued scholarly claims that little is known about women’s involvement in organized crime prior to 2000s. Women’s drug organizations are multi-dimensional affairs, built on familial and social networks that have historically expanded to incorporate police and state agents. This article tracks several such organizations to…
Katherine Unterman. Uncle Sam’s Policemen
The old adage “Crime does not pay” has circulated in comic books, radio, and film. The phrase is a contradiction. It emerged because the rich and powerful recognized that crime did indeed pay. And it paid very well for those who were willing to take the risks and run across international borders or sail to far-off lands. Dastardly boodlers embezzled the hard-earned dollars of the wealthy, then absconded with the loot to exotic locales, first to C…
Corazón de Dixie
At this writing, Donald Trump has targeted millions of Mexicans by declaring that, if elected president, he will deport 11 million undocumented people from the United States. His incendiary comments are meant to garner support to “make America great again” while inspiring fear in millions. In the award-winning Corazón de Dixie Julie M. Weise complicates and enriches the history of the lived experiences of Mexicanos in the South by challenging the…
Women Drug Traffickers
In the flow of drugs to the United States from Latin America, women have always played key roles as bosses, business partners, money launderers, confidantes, and couriers - work rarely acknowledged. Elaine Carey's study of women in the drug trade offers a new understanding of this intriguing subject, from women drug smugglers in the early twentieth century to the cartel queens who make news today. Using international diplomatic documents, trial t…
Spectacular Mexico
Through 1996–1997, I routinely visited Mexico City's Lagunilla market to haggle with a vendor who had a cache of 1968 baubles. Being a grad student, I could afford few trinkets, but eventually I acquired the Lance Wyman–designed embossed treasures of an ashtray and some pins. During that same period, I photographed the 1968 student activists' reimaginings of Wyman's Olympic logos to challenge the ruling regime. These finds and images, however, we…
El otro lado
Deborah Cohen shatters the American Gothic myth of the hardworking family farmer and his devoted wife struggling toward the American dream who are undermined by cheap labor from south of the Rio Grande. Cohen’s Braceros is a transnational history that exemplifies the best historical practices in a growing field. In this timely work, Cohen illustrates how a group of perceived marginalized workers, braceros, interacted with state and non-state acto…
Art and Social Movements
The 1968 Mexican student movement continues to inspire analysis in history and in the social sciences, whether scholars examine it in terms of gender, the rise of the Right, the middle class and its politics, music, or the political implications of the uprising. The Mexican Olympic Committee hoped to introduce the world to its country’s art and culture; it never planned on hosting its global fiesta in the midst of a social protest that ultimately…

"Selling is More of a Habit than Using"
This article uses materials of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and its predecessor, the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, and of the U.S. Department of the Treasury to document the thirty-year career of the female Mexican heroin peddler and trafficker Lola la Chata and the efforts of police, government officials, and diplomats on both sides of the border to undermine her criminal empire. By placing women within contemporary studie…
Carrying on the Struggle
Women with Golden Arms
After the arrests of a number of prominent women traffickers in 1975, the Federal Bureau of Investigation proclaimed that there was ‘no anti‐woman bias’ in the Latin American drug trade ( New York Times , April 22, 1975). Long before, narcotics warriors in the US, Mexico, and Canada had monitored the activities of a number of prominent women traffickers. Using official documents, reports, and newspapers, this article examines five cases of women …
Radio Nation
In this sophisticated study, Joy Elizabeth Hayes analyzes the links between state power, Mexican nationalism, and the history of radio. Radio Nation compliments recent works on contemporary Mexican popular culture, exploring the tenuous relationship between modernity, power, and mexicanidad, but is concerned primarily with how technology intersects with nation formation. Hayes takes on recent debates regarding culture and "the nation" and situate…
