The essays in this collection illuminate both the processes of change and the negative reactions that they frequently elicited Yucatan has been called “a world apart”—cut off from the rest of Mexico by geography and culture. Yet, despite its peripheral location, the region experienced substantial change in the decades after independence. As elsewhere in Mexico, apostles of modernization introduced policies intended to remold Yucatan in the image of the advanced nations of the day. Indeed, modernizing change began in the late colonial era and continued throughout the 19th century as traditional patterns of land tenure were altered and efforts were made to divest the Catholic Church of its wealth and political and intellectual influence. Some changes, however, produced fierce resistance from both elites and humbler Yucatecans and modernizers were frequently forced to retreat or at least reach accommodation with their foes. Covering topics from the early 19th century to the late 20th century, the essays in this collection illuminate both the processes of change and the negative reactions that they frequently elicited. The diversity of disciplines covered by this volume—history, anthropology, sociology, economics—illuminates at least three overriding challenges for study of the peninsula today. One is politics after the decline of the Institutional Revolutionary Party: What are the important institutions, practices, and discourses of politics in a post-postrevolutionary era? A second trend is the scholarly demystification of the Maya: Anthropologists have shown the difficulties of applying monolithic terms like Maya in a society where ethnic relations are often situational and ethnic boundaries are fluid. And a third consideration: researchers are only now beginning to grapple with the region’s transition to a post-henequen economy based on tourism, migration, and the assembly plants known as maquiladoras. Challenges from agribusiness and industry will no doubt continue to affect the peninsula’s fragile Karst topography and unique environments. Contributors: Eric N. Baklanoff, Helen Delpar, Paul K.

Critical urban theory and postcolonial approaches are brought together in this compelling book to explore the relationship between colonial legacies, urbanization, and global capitalism in southern Mexico. Investigates the boom-to-bust story of maquiladoras in the state of Yucatán to shed light on how the built environment was shaped by discourse, imaginaries, and everyday practices Examines the infrastructure constructed to support the maquiladora project and traces the attempts of the state to portray Yucatán as an exotic and business-friendly maquiladora paradise Reveals how these practices stand in contrast to the livelihood strategies and life stories of maquiladora workers and residents Draws on a wide range of sources to illustrate a central tension in capitalism: its tendency to homogenize while thriving in differentiation Provides important insights into an understudied location and urges us to understand urbanization in the global South in new ways

Medicine on the Periphery examines the history of the public health of Yucatán, Mexico, from the 1870s through 1960. This book includes chapters on institutions, healers, changing patterns of disease, the biomedicalization of Yucatán, and the relationship between Yucatán and the Mexican Revolutionary government. Sowell analyzes Yucatec officials’ establishment of public health programs as a strategy for the modernization of the region, using wealth from the production of henequen to create Mexico’s most extensive public health system and subsequent tensions with the Revolutionary government. Public health programs situated the Yucatán into a complex position in the nexus of knowledge, power, and technologies of the Atlantic medical community. Medicine on the Periphery provides a comprehensive look at how Yucatán became a medical periphery, a status that made it increasingly dependent upon knowledge and technologies produced in the productive core of the North Atlantic and subject to the authority of the Mexican state. This book will be of interest to scholars in Mexican studies, history of medicine and public health in Latin America and in the Atlantic world.

This book offers an innovative engagement with the diverse histories of colonial and indigenous medicines. Engagement with different kinds of colonialism and varied indigenous socio-political cultures has led to a wide range of approaches and increasingly distinct traditions of historical writing about colonial and indigenous modes of healing have emerged in the various regions formerly ruled by different colonial powers. The volume offers a much-needed opportunity to explore new conceptual perspectives and encourages critical reflection on how scholars’ research specialisms have influenced their approaches to the history of medicine and healing. The book includes contributions on different geographical regions in Asia, Africa and the Americas and within the varied contexts of Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Dutch and British colonialisms. It deals with issues such as internal colonialism, the plural history of objects, transregional circulation and entanglement, and the historicisation of medical historiography. The chapters in the volume explore the scope for conceptual interaction between authors from diverse disciplines and different regions, highlighting the synergies and thematic commonalities as well as differences and divergences.

Araceli Cab Cumí is a contemporary Maya writer, grassroots leader, and political party activist from Mexico. She is also the only indigenous woman to have been elected to the State Congress of Yucatan, serving two terms of office. Discarded Pages is Cab Cumí's life narrative accompanied by her essays, poems, personal narratives, and political and public policy papers. Titled in honor of Cab Cumí's earliest writings which she had thrown away thinking them of little value, Discarded Pages showcases her expressions and thoughts within the context of her eventful and unusual life. In addition to translations of her work, Cab Cumí's original Spanish and Yucatec Maya writings are included in the book. Gramsci's theoretically innovative concept of the "organic intellectual" is used to analyze Cab Cumí's life and career. The book expands on Gramsci's original concept to include discussions of gender, new social movements, and the social context in which organic intellectuals labor as activists and thinkers. Throughout Discarded Pages Cab Cumí movingly represents the worldview of a Maya woman seeking to represent other Maya women.

La consideración del turismo como una vía y oportunidad para el desarrollo está cada vez más presente en las políticas socioeconómicas de los países. Algunos hechos que han contribuido a este aumento de protagonismo del turismo son entre otros el consenso alcanzado en reuniones internacionales sobre la capacidad de esta actividad para contribuir al desarrollo y más concretamente al alivio de la pobreza, como se recoge en los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio fijados por las Naciones Unidas. El sector del turismo es una línea estratégica que tiene grandes posibilidades para convertirse en líder de la cooperación turística internacional, pues es considerado una herramienta que, bien gestionada, contribuye a la mejora de la calidad de vida de las poblaciones locales y a la reducción de la pobreza, fomentando la creación de lugares de trabajo y la conservación del patrimonio natural y cultural. Teóricamente es así, pero en la práctica: ¿Qué está sucediendo? El turismo es un fenómeno dinámico tanto en su crecimiento como en la permanente transformación de sus elementos, de las relaciones entre los mismos o de nuevas expresiones y formas de hacer turismo. Su estudio y seguimiento exige un análisis de las problemáticas aún pendientes, así como requiere responder a las nuevas realidades, ara que el turismo mantenga su fin último, el desarrollo. El II Congreso de la Red Internacional de Investigadores en Turismo, Cooperación y Desarrollo quiere con este encuentro: - Crear un foro de discusión y reflexión, desde una perspectiva académica y de investigación, sobre temas pendientes aún por resolver como el impacto del turismo en las comunidades locales y de abordar “nuevas” realidades y estrategias de desarrollo turístico y cooperación que reclaman nuestra atención. - Sumar conocimientos en el campo de la investigación del turismo como herramienta de cooperación al desarrollo. - Facilitar un espacio para conocernos e impulsar futuras colaboraciones de investigación.
