Download or read book Indigenous Culture and Change in Guerrero Mexico 7000 BCE to 1600 CE written by Ian Jacobs and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2024-04-01 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently, Guerrero's past has suffered from relative neglect by archaeologists and historians. While a number of excellent studies have expanded our knowledge of certain aspects of the region's history or of particular areas or topics, the absence of a thorough scholarly overview has left Guerrero's significant contributions to the history of Mesoamerica and colonial Mexico greatly underestimated. With Indigenous Culture and Change in Guerrero, Mexico, 7000 BCE to 1600 CE Ian Jacobs at last puts Guerrero's history firmly on the map of Mexican archaeology and history. The book brings together a vast amount of cross-disciplinary information to understand the deep roots of the Indigenous cultures of a complex region of Mexico and the forces that shaped the foundations of colonial Mexico in the sixteenth century and beyond. This book is particularly significant for its exploration of archaeological, Indigenous, and historical sources.
Download or read book Chico George the Birds and Me written by Dorothy Chapman Saunders and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When a mysterious manila envelope reached the hands of Henry "Milt" Reeves, no one could have anticipated the story that waited inside. Enclosed he found a manuscript - a typewritten carbon copy on onion-skin paper - written half a century earlier and yellowed with age. Each fragile page unfolded the first-person description of a trip Dorothy Chapman Saunders had taken to Mexico in 1948 and 1949 with her husband and seasoned ornithologist, George, to conduct field surveys of waterfowl and white-winged doves for the U.S. government." "Chico, George, the Birds, and Me presents Saunders's near-daily personal account of this five-month-long ornithological expedition and provides a glimpse into the dynamic life of a frontier biologist making her mark in a man's world." "Saunders adeptly describes the birds they saw and the survey work they did. She also charts the other details of their journey as they traveled south from Reynosa to Mexico City, then to Acapulco and Oaxaca, east to Veracruz, north to Tamaulipas and, finally, back to McAllen, Texas, Slowly chugging along in the under-powered jeep they affectionately dubbed "Chico," they explored lakes, lagoons, and volcanoes, Aztec ruins, markets, churches, and even old burro trails."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book From Liberal to Revolutionary Oaxaca written by Francie R. Chassen-López and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2007-05-02 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Liberal to Revolutionary Oaxaca aims at finally setting Mexican history free of stereotypes about the southern state of Oaxaca, long portrayed as a traditional and backward society resistant to the forces of modernization and marginal to the Revolution. Chassen-López challenges this view of Oaxaca as a negative mirror image of modern Mexico, presenting in its place a much more complex reality. Her analysis of the confrontations between Mexican liberals’ modernizing projects and Oaxacan society, especially indigenous communal villages, reveals not only conflicts but also growing linkages and dependencies. She portrays them as engaging with and transforming each other in an ongoing process of contestation, negotiation, and compromise.

Download or read book Ranchero Revolt written by Ian Jacobs and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-05-23 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mexican Revolution has most often been characterized as the revolt of the oppressed rural masses against the conservative regime of Porfirio Díaz. In Ranchero Revolt Ian Jacobs challenges this populist interpretation of the Revolution by exploring the crucial role played by the rural middle class—rancheros—in the organization and final victory of the Revolution. Jacobs focuses on the Revolution as it developed in Guerrero, the rebellious Mexican state still frequently at odds with central authority. His is the first account in English of the genesis and development of the Revolution in this important Mexican state and the first detailed history in any language of Guerrero in the period 1876 to 1940. Stressing as it does the conservative tendencies of the Revolution in Mexico, Ranchero Revolt is a major contribution to revisionist history. It is a striking example of the trend toward local and regional studies of Mexican history that are transforming much of the conventional wisdom about modern Mexico. Among these studies, however, Ranchero Revolt is unusual in its chronological scope, embracing not only the origins and military struggle of the Revolution but also the emergence of a new revolutionary state in the 1920s and 1930s. Especially valuable are Jacobs' descriptions of the agrarian developments that preceded and followed the Revolution; the vagaries of local factions; and the process of political centralization that took place first under Díaz and later under the revolutionary regimes.
