Historia mínima del tequila
Read moreTitle Historia mínima del tequila Author José María Murià Publisher El Colegio de México Imprint El Colegio de México ISBN 9786075646275 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 171 Format Print and digital THEMA History and Archeology Synopsis “Tequila has no history, there is no anecdote that confirms its birth”; such is the statement made by writer Álvaro Mutis in the text that serves as an extensive epigraph to this book. In search of that anecdote that would trace the path followed by “the most Mexican of drinks,” the author of this work has been rummaging through archives and libraries since 1970 to offer readers practically everything that has been clarified on the subject, from the most remote times to the present day. foreign rights contact Gabriela Said Reyes E-mail gsaid@colmex.mx -

Behemoth. Violencia colectiva, polìtica y criminal en el México contemporáneo
Read moreTitle Behemoth. Violencia colectiva, polìtica y criminal en el México contemporáneo Author Marco Estrada Saavedra Publisher El Colegio de México Imprint El Colegio de México ISBN 9786075646664 Edition number 1 Publication year 2025 Pages 368 Format Print and digital THEMA Society and Social Sciences Synopsis Collective, political, and criminal violence are not new phenomena in Mexico. Resorting to them is a well-established and accepted way of doing politics, establishing social ties, and organizing society by state, social, and organized crime actors. This book presents an original analysis of the use and effects of these forms of violence in three episodes of current national life: state repression against the People's Front in Defense of the Land of San Salvador Atenco and its allies (2006), the armed uprising of the Michoacán self-defense groups against the terror and plundering of the Knights Templar (2012-2015), and the persecution, murder, and disappearance of the Ayotzinapa teacher training college students (2014). foreign rights contact Gabriela Said Reyes E-mail gsaid@colmex.mx -
Insurrección, anarquía, revolución: una anatomía política del instantes
Read moreTitle Insurrección, anarquía, revolución: una anatomía política del instantes Author Humberto Beck Publisher El Colegio de México Imprint El Colegio de México ISBN 9786075646909 Edition number 1 Publication year 2025 Pages 239 Format Print and digital THEMA Philosophy and Religion Synopsis From 1739 onwards, the question of radical change became one of the central themes of modern politics. From then on, a constellation of figures and movements began to form with a vision of political change based on the idea of a sudden interruption in the continuity of the established order, that is, of an instantaneous present that suspends the usual flow of time. This work offers an intellectual history of the language of instantaneous time by exploring three figures representative of the notion of sudden rupture in modern political thought: insurrection, anarchy, and revolution. foreign rights contact Gabriela Said Reyes E-mail gsaid@colmex.mx -
Historia mínima del rock en América Latina
Read moreTitle Historia mínima del rock en América Latina Author Abel Gilbert; Pablo Alabarces Publisher El Colegio de México Imprint El Colegio de México ISBN 9786075646763 Edition number 1 Publication year 2025 Pages 324 Format Print and digital THEMA History and Archeology Synopsis For the authors of this book, the history of Latin American rock intersects failed modernization processes with states of political exception. Although all countries in the region experienced a similar initial phase, linked to the reproduction of the American rock scene, the development of each type of rock music is deeply connected to the forms that modernization took in each society in the 1960s: contradictory and varied modernizations, related to “regularly exceptional” political histories. foreign rights contact Gabriela Said Reyes E-mail gsaid@colmex.mx -
Comer fuera en América Latina
Read moreTitle Comer fuera en América Latina Author Tiana Bakic; Paloma Villagómez; editoras Publisher El Colegio de México Imprint El Colegio de México ISBN 9786075646695 Edition number 1 Publication year 2025 Pages 369 Format Print and digital THEMA Society and Social Sciences Synopsis Eating food prepared outside the home is a practice that has become increasingly important in the population's repertoire of food alternatives, especially in urban contexts. Latin America is a diverse and complex setting in which this practice shows converging changes and continuities, but also varies according to regional contexts, local identities, and exposure to global economic and cultural processes. This work brings together empirical studies that analyze the economic, cultural, political, spatial, and even socio-affective dimensions of eating out in cities in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. foreign rights contact Gabriela Said Reyes E-mail gsaid@colmex.mx -

In an extraordinary effort of synthesis, it reviews proposals and actions undertaken by a variety of women's collectives: from the formulation of the first feminisms to the unprecedented experience of our days, when women's demands nurture massive popular expressions, as never before. We also note the vigorous anti-patriarchal action that is sweeping Latin America and shaking the younger generations in particular. foreign rights contact Gabriela Said Reyes E-mail gsaid@colmex.mx -

This book presents the historical keys to Latin American indigenism through case studies in Mexico, Guatemala, Ecuador and Peru. foreign rights contact Gabriela Said Reyes E-mail gsaid@colmex.mx -
Historia mínima de la aviación comercial
Read moreTitle Historia mínima de la aviación comercial Author Federico Lazarín Miranda Publisher El Colegio de México Imprint El Colegio de México ISBN 9786075643854 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 296 Format Print and digital THEMA History and Archaeology Synopsis At the end of the Great War in 1919, William L. Mitchel -theorist and father of military aviation in the United States- predicted that air passengers would be as common as train passengers and that distances between major cities would be calculated in flight hours instead of kilometers. In 1936, John A. Wilson, head of Civil Aviation Canada, coined the term World's Airways System, which he claimed would represent a revolution in transportation. Such predictions are the guiding threads of this book. The reader will appreciate the evolution and competition among airlines for world markets, from 1919 to the current situation resulting from the covid-19 pandemic. foreign rights contact Gabriela Said Reyes E-mail gsaid@colmex.mx -

How can we explain the sympathy of popular sectors towards the thought and political action of the right? The book investigates the course of the Latin American right wing between the end of the 19th century and the present. foreign rights contact Gabriela Said Reyes E-mail gsaid@colmex.mx -

La ley de la calle. Policía y sociedad en la Ciudad de México, 1860-1940
Read moreTitle La ley de la calle. Policía y sociedad en la Ciudad de México, 1860-1940 Author Diego Pulido Esteva Publisher El Colegio de México Imprint El Colegio de México ISBN 9786075644981 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 638 Format Print and digital THEMA History and Archaeology Synopsis This book invites the reader to think historically about the relationship between police and society in Mexico City through a journey through the institutions, spaces, subjects and their practices from the mid-nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. By inquiring into these aspects, the social face of the subjects that formed the police is drawn and their practices are examined. From this perspective, police officers played a leading role in the creation of the laws of the street, understood as a set of arrangements in the discretionary application of legal ordinances. foreign rights contact Gabriela Said Reyes E-mail gsaid@colmex.mx
