Mexican Studies / Estudios Mexicanos joins in the celebration and critical reflection of Mexico’s bicentennial of independence. Hence we are glad to announce the forthcoming Thematic Section “Bicentennial Mexican Independence: New Critical Insights” to be published in our 37.3 issue in November. This section includes three essays:
(1) Negros y mulatos libres del Golfo y el Pacífico en las fronteras de la independencia de México (1767–-1810) by Mexican historian Antonio García de León (Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia);
(2) Breaking New Spain, 1808-–1821: Remaking Power, Production, and Patriarchy before Iguala by American historian John Tutino (Georgetown University); and
(3) ¿Independencia en tiempos del Tren Maya? Continuum de violencias coloniales contra los indígenas en el México Contemporáneo by Mexican anthropologists Rosalva Hernández Castillo (CIESAS), and Elisa Cruz Rueda (Universidad Autónoma de Chiapas).
Stay tuned for this publication! In the meantime, we invite you to read our recently published 37.2 issue.
