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

In the central highland Maya communities of Guatemala, the demands of the global economy have become a way of life. This book explores how rural peoples experience economic and cultural change as their country joins the global market, focusing on their thoughts about work and sustenance as a way of learning about Guatemala’s changing economy. For more than a decade, Liliana Goldín observed in highland towns both the intensification of various forms of production and their growing links to wider markets. In this first book to compare economic ideology across a range of production systems, she examines how people make a living and how they think about their options, practices, and constraints. Drawing on interviews and surveys—even retellings of traditional narratives—she reveals how contemporary Maya respond to the increasingly globalized yet locally circumscribed conditions in which they work. Goldín presents four case studies: cottage industries devoted to garment production, vegetable growing for internal and border markets reached through direct commerce, crops grown for export, and wage labor in garment assembly factories. By comparing generational and gendered differences among workers, she reveals not only complexities of change but also how these complexities arereflected in changing attitudes, understandings, and aspirations that characterize people’s economic ideology. Further, she shows that as rural people take on diverse economic activities, they also reinterpret their views on such matters as accumulation, cooperation, competition, division of labor, and community solidarity. Global Maya explores global processes in local terms, revealing the interplay of traditional values, household economics, and the inescapable conditions of demographic growth, a shrinking land base, and a global economy always looking for cheap labor. It offers a wealth of new insights not only for Maya scholars but also for anyone concerned with the effects of globalization on the Third World.

La parte mas pobre de la poblacion mundial, nada menos que el 46 %, solo posee el 1,2 % de la renta global. Su poder adquisitivo por persona y dia es insignificante. Y muchos de ellos ni siquiera tienen suficiente comida para sobrevivir. Un tercio de todas las muertes humanas son ocasionadas por causas relacionadas con la pobreza: dieciocho millones al ano, entre las que se incluyen las de doce millones de ninos menores de cinco anos. En el otro extremo, el 15 % de la humanidad perteneciente a las clases mas altas posee el 80 % de la renta global. Dedicar un uno o un dos por ciento de nuestra porcion a la erradicacion de la pobreza parece una obligacion moral. Aun asi, la prosperidad de los mas favorecidos esta provocando un crecimiento de la desigualdad global, aunque la mayoria de los ricos cree que no tiene responsabilidad alguna al respecto. El libro de Pogge pretende explicar por que se mantiene en pie esa creencia. Para ello, analiza la forma en que se han configurado nuestras teorias morales y economicas con el fin de que nos sintamos desvinculados de la pobreza absoluta que subsiste fuera de nuestras fronteras. Y, al disipar esa ilusion, tambien ofrece un criterio modesto y ampliamente compartible de la justicia economica global, elaborando propuestas detalladas y realistas capaces de satisfacerlo.

In Fragile World: Ecology and the Church, scholars and activists from Christian communities as far-flung as Honduras, the Philippines, Colombia, and Kenya present a global angle on the global ecological crisis—in both its material and spiritual senses—and offer Catholic resources for responding to it. This volume explores the deep interconnections, for better and for worse, between the global North and the global South, and analyzes the relationship among the physical environment, human society, culture, theology, and economics—the “integral ecology” described by Pope Francis in Laudato Si’. Integral ecology demands that we think deeply about humans and the physical environment, but also about the God who both created the world and sustains it in being. At its root, the ecological crisis is a theological crisis, not only in the way that humans regard creation and their place in it, but in the way that humans think about God. For Pope Francis in Laudato Si’, the root of the crisis is that we humans have tried to put ourselves in God’s place. According to Pope Francis, therefore, “A fragile world, entrusted by God to human care, challenges us to devise intelligent ways of directing, developing, and limiting our power.”

El auto de Fe de Logroño de noviembre de 1610 llevó a seis personas a la hoguera y procesó a numerosos “brujos” de la montaña vasca, a la vez que en Francia el Juez Pierre de Lancre practicó el primer genocidio a la raza vasca, por entender que ésta tenía particularidades que solo podían provenir del Demonio. Pero dentro de esta historia, hay otras historias como la de Marie de Ximildegui, que como otros habitantes de esa región, vieron como la codicia y la ambición de poder usaban el nombre de Dios para someterlos. El noble pueblo vasco, con sus costumbres y sus creencias, aún antes de la llegada del cristianismo, resistió a su manera. Esta historia de amor, de hechizo, es la historia del prototipo vasco con su lucha por la libertad, la independencia y el repudio a cualquier tipo de sometimiento, pero también es la historia de los intereses políticos y religiosos que hacen que una y otra vez la historia se repita.

Millions of descendants of the former colonized and enslaved peoples around the world are now classified as poor readers, bad writers, and unskilled learners. Are they illiterate or silenced people? Are they global citizens or global outcasts? Drawing from case studies of flesh and blood individuals in Mexico and the US, this book questions the colonizing images of the educationally excluded as 'illiterates', and explores the ways in which the long social history of conquest and colonization, plunder and globalization, is inscribed in the personal histories of today's subjugated people. It argues that rather than 'limited literacy skills' they face systematic lack of freedom to speak, act, and make decisions about their own lives. Literacy, thus, must be seen as a practice of voice and citizenship, rather than a technical skill.

Carolyn Tuttle led a group that interviewed 620 women maquila workers in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. The responses from this representative sample refute many of the hopeful predictions made by scholars before NAFTA and reveal instead that little has improved for maquila workers. The women's stories make it plain that free trade has created more low-paying jobs in sweatshops where workers are exploited. Families of maquila workers live in one- or two-room houses with no running water, no drainage, and no heat. The multinational companies who operate the maquilas consistently break Mexican labor laws by requiring women to work more than nine hours a day, six days a week, without medical benefits, while the minimum wage they pay workers is insufficient to feed their families. These findings will make a crucial contribution to debates over free trade, CAFTA-DR, and the impact of globalization. The book visits continuities and discontinuities among Spanish and Latin American women with regards to the ways in which they approach writing as a political weapon: to express ecological concerns; to denounce social injustice; to re-articulate existing paradigms, such as local versus global, violence versus pacifism, immigrant versus citizen; and to raise consciousness about racist, sexist, and other discriminatory practices. Such use of writing as an instrument of ethical and political exploration is underlined throughout the different articles in the volume as the authors emphasize pluralism, social justice, gender equality, tolerance, and political representation. This book offers readers a broad perspective on the multiple ways in which Hispanic women writers are explicitly exploring the social, political, and, economic realities of our era and integrating global perspectives and gender concerns into their writing, highlighting the unprecedented level of sociopolitical engagement practiced by 20th and 21st century Hispanic women writers.

Los pobres Los pobres están en el centro del Evangelio, están en el corazón del Evangelio, si quitamos a los pobres del Evangelio no podremos entender el mensaje completo de Jesucristo» (Papa Francisco). Las poderosas palabras del Papa remiten a un decisivo análisis social que expresa la decepción con respecto a los derechos políticos y económicos: economía de la exclusión, globalización de la indiferencia, cultura del descarte, economía que mata, escándalo de la pobreza, idolatría del dinero, cultura del despilfarro, etc.
