  • “We’ve Always Been Engineers

    Open AccessMonika Kwapisz, Bryce Edward Hughes et al.ARTICLEEducation Sciences2021

    Background: How do Indigenous engineering students describe their engineering leadership development?

  • The Mexican Wars for Independence

    William Schell, William J SchellARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2010

    In The Mexican Wars for Independence Timothy J. Henderson generously seasons his retelling of this familiar tale with interesting, often enlightening anecdotes that reflect the influence of the new cultural history. Take for example his depiction of Father Miguel Hidalgo’s revolt as a Keystone Cops comedy of errors, or his characterization of the massacre of the Spanish and creole defenders of the Alhóndiga as “an impromptu religious fiesta . . .…

  • Andre Gunder Frank (1929-2005)

    William Schell, William J SchellARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2006

    On April 23, scholars around the world received e-mails announcing the death of Andre Gunder Frank in Luxembourg at the age of 76.

An intellectual provocateur who had more important ideas in a year than many of us will hav…

In effect, the global capitalist culture embodied in NAFTA, the WTO, and the IMF is a neo-Porfirian hegemony emanating from an imperial United States. As in Revolutiona…

  • Silver Symbiosis

    William Schell, William J SchellARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2001Cited by: 2

    In 1904 Finance Minister José I. Limantour ordered a monetary census in preparation for Mexico’s conversion to the gold standard. In it, Porfirian bean counters found only one hundred million of the four billion-plus pesos of various sorts reportedly minted over the centuries. Even assuming a significant undercounting, in that time Mexico had exported at least 3.5 billion pesos; in short, the peso was the most widely circulated coin in history.1 …
