  • A Revolutionary Postmortem: Body, Memory, and History in Yucatán, Mexico, 1915-2015

    Paul K Ei, Paul K EissARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2018References: 5

    General Salvador Alvarado earned renown as a visionary leader during and after his time as governor of Yucatán during the Constitutionalist revolution (1915-18), even contemplating a presidential run before his life was ended by an assassin's bullet. In ensuing decades, politicians, historians, and poets-whether admirers or detractors-repeatedly evoked his figure and his words as they celebrated, reviled, or sought to restore the Mexican Revoluti…

  • Introduction: Mestizo acts

    Paul K Ei, Paul K EissARTICLELatin American and Caribbean…2016Cited by: 4References: 23

    How is one to approach mestizaje in a way that is not definitionally predicated on ‘race,’ or at least, on a modernist formulation of race as phenotypically expressed biological difference? The contributors to this volume provide explorations of this question in varied national contexts (Mexico, Guatemala, Bolivia, Colombia, Peru), from the16th century to the present. They treat ‘mestizo acts’ neither as expressions of preexisting social identiti…

  • Playing mestizo: Festivity, language, and theatre in Yucatán, Mexico

    Paul K Ei, Paul K EissARTICLELatin American and Caribbean…2016Cited by: 2References: 15

    This article takes Yucatán’s ‘Monument to Mestizaje’ as the entry point to an analysis of mestizo culture in Yucatán in the 19th and 20th centuries. Providing three genealogies of mestizaje in Yucatán – focused on festivity, language, and theatre – this article takes a historical and performative approach; it focuses neither on the workings of ‘mestizo’ social identity nor on ideologies of mestizaje, but on the performance of mestizo acts in part…

  • The Narcomedia: A Reader’s Guide

    Open AccessPaul K Ei, Paul K EissARTICLELatin American Perspectives2014Cited by: 5References: 12

    Most commentators interpret the messages left by drug traffickers-often accompanied by gruesomely disfigured human remains-as simple acts of score-settling or claims of territory between rival groups. A case study of the narcomedia- narcomensajes, narcovideos, and narcomantas- in Yucatán in 2008, as well as an exploration of contemporary public debates relating the narcomedia at the national level over the ensuing years, provides some alternative…

  • El Pueblo Mestizo: Modernity, Tradition, and Statecraft in Yucatán, 1870-1907

    Paul K Ei, Paul K EissARTICLEEthnohistory2008Cited by: 1

    This article concerns the concept and rhetoric of "el pueblo" in Yucatán during the regime of Mexican president Porfirio Díaz, from the 1870s forward. In Yucatán, this era was one of radical change, bringing the transformation and expansion of the region's henequen hacienda economy, the rise of the institution of debt servitude, affecting both indigenous Yucatec Mayan and working-class mestizo populations, and the rise of encompassing political r…

  • Beyond the object: Of rabbits, rutabagas and history

    Open AccessPaul K Ei, Paul K EissARTICLEAnthropological Theory2008Cited by: 7References: 37

    This article takes Raymond Williams' discussion of the `laborer's supper' as an entrée to an exploration of what `value' and `history' might mean, and especially, what the relations between the two might be. My purpose is neither to arrive at definitions of `value' or `history', nor to elaborate a general theory defining their nature or interrelation. Rather, it is to consider the presence of history, and in many cases, the implications of its ab…

    While Alice brushed the White QueenÕs tousled hair, the monarch offered her employ as a ladyÕs maid for a salary of two pence a week, along with a regular ration of jam. As Lewis Carroll relates in Through the Looking Glass, Alice was disinclined to accept in any case. Nonetheless, she grew disturbed when the Queen informed her that the offered jam was only to be given Òevery other dayÓ--that is, only ÒyesterdayÓ and Òtomorrow,Ó but never Òtoday.…
