Book excerpt: At the turn of the twenty-first century, with the amount of money emigrants sent home soaring to new highs, governments around the world began searching for ways to capitalize on emigration for economic growth, and they looked to nations that already had policies in place. Morocco and Mexico featured prominently as sources of "best practices" in this area, with tailor-made financial instruments that brought migrants into the banking system, captured remittances for national development projects, fostered partnerships with emigrants for infrastructure design and provision, hosted transnational forums for development planning, and emboldened cross-border political lobbies. In Creative State, Natasha Iskander chronicles how these innovative policies emerged and evolved over forty years. She reveals that the Moroccan and Mexican policies emulated as models of excellence were not initially devised to link emigration to development, but rather were deployed to strengthen both governments' domestic hold on power. The process of policy design, however, was so iterative and improvisational that neither the governments nor their migrant constituencies ever predicted, much less intended, the ways the new initiatives would gradually but fundamentally redefine nationhood, development, and citizenship. Morocco's and Mexico's experiences with migration and development policy demonstrate that far from being a prosaic institution resistant to change, the state can be a remarkable site of creativity, an essential but often overlooked component of good governance.

This book was released on 2022-06-13T22:59:00Z with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Mexican capital, Mexico City, was taken by American troops on September 14, 1847. The violence was shocking, but it came as no surprise to José María Gutiérrez de Estrada, a Mexican politician who had predicted this scenario in a pamphlet published seven years earlier. #2 Mexico had experienced many revolts since its independence in 1821. By 1840, only one president had served out his full term in office. Gutiérrez de Estrada believed that Mexico should have been a monarchy, and that the country’s republicanism was the cause of its problems. #3 The history of Mexico was complex, and it was on this history that Iturbide rested his main claim to empire. The Aztecs were the last in a long line of indigenous peoples who enslaved most of central Mexico before the Spanish arrived in the sixteenth century. #4 The Mexican monarchy was established in 1821 after Mexico was defeated by Spain in a war for independence. The plan was to crown Ferdinand VII, king of Spain, the first emperor of Mexico, but he refused the offer. The throne was then offered to one of his relations, but Ferdinand wanted nothing less than the complete reconquest of one of the richest parts of the Spanish empire.

Download or read book The Architecture and Cities of Northern Mexico from Independence to the Present written by Edward Burian and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2015-08-15 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The states of Northern Mexico—Tamaulipas, Nuevo León, Coahuila, Chihuahua, Durango, Sonora, Sinaloa, and Baja California Norte and Sur—have architecture, urbanism, and landscape design that offer numerous lessons in how to build well, but this constructed environment is largely undervalued or unknown. To make this architecture better known to a wide professional, academic, and public audience, this book presents the first comprehensive overview in either English or Spanish of the architecture, urban landscapes, and cities of Northern Mexico from the country's emergence as a modern nation in 1821 to the present day. Profusely illustrated with color and black-and-white photographs, maps, and analytical drawings of urban cores of major cities, The Architecture and Cities of Northern Mexico systematically examines significant works of architecture in large cities and small towns in each state, from the earliest buildings in the urban core to the newest at the periphery. Edward R. Burian describes the most memorable works of architecture in each city in greater detail in terms of their spatial organization, materials, and sensory experience. He also includes a concise geographical and historical summary of the region that provides a useful background for the discussions of the works of architecture. Burian concludes the book with a brief commentary on lessons learned and possible futures for the architectural culture of the region, as well as the first comprehensive biographical listing of the architects practicing in Northern Mexico during the past two centuries.

Download or read book The Illicit Global Economy and State Power written by Richard H. Friman and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 1999-02-18 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illicit cross-border flows, such as the smuggling of drugs, migrants, weapons, toxic waste, and dirty money, are proliferating on a global scale. This underexplored, clandestine side of globalization has emerged as an increasingly important source of conflict and cooperation among nation-states, state agents, nonstate actors, and international organizations. Contrary to scholars and policymakers who claim a general erosion of state power in the face of globalization, this pathbreaking volume of original essays explores the selective nature of the stateOs retreat, persistence, and reassertion in relation to the illicit global economy. It fills a gap in the international political economy literature and offers a new and powerful lens through which to examine core issues of concern to international relations scholars: the changing nature of states and markets, the impact of globalization across place and issue areas, and the sources of cooperation and conflict.

Download or read book Border Games written by Peter Andreas and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2012-11-07 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S.-Mexico border is the busiest in the world, the longest and most dramatic meeting point of a rich and poor country, and the site of intense confrontation between law enforcement and law evasion. Border control has changed in recent years from a low-maintenance and politically marginal activity to an intensive campaign focusing on drugs and migrant labor. Yet the unprecedented buildup of border policing has taken place in an era otherwise defined by the opening of the border, most notably through NAFTA. This contrast creates a borderless economy with a barricaded border. In the updated and expanded second edition of his essential book on policing the U.S.-Mexico border, Peter Andreas places the continued sharp escalation of border policing in the context of a transformed post-September 11 security environment. As Andreas demonstrates, in some ways it is still the same old border game but more difficult to manage, with more players, played out on a bigger stage, and with higher stakes and collateral damage.

Sample Book Insights: #1 The Americas were home to many anticolonial insurgencies during the Age of Revolution, and slavery was the main issue facing the Americas. The Founding Fathers looked to Europe for inspiration, and drew on the ideas of John Locke and other Enlightenment philosophers to construct rationales for racial slavery. #2 The Age of Revolution saw the birth of Black radicalism, which was rooted in the Global South and their fight for freedom against European theories of domination. #3 The American Revolution was a war to preserve slavery. The colonial upper class looked with trepidation at signs from Great Britain that foretold the demise of chattel bondage. #4 The American Revolution was led by a group of guilty masters who were enslaving people themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The author’s personal and professional journey leads him to Urzaiz’s Eugenia, and the eugenic project of early twentieth-century Mérida. While focused on a particular writer and his work, the reading explodes outward to take on not only the question of historical context, but the far-reaching resonance of disability and eugenic discourse across time and space. #2 The scene in question is striking for its brief but vivid physical descriptions of the characters involved, specifically the Africans, the physician, and the young Ernesto. While the history of eugenics is a history of racism, within the novel itself, eugenics functions to erase negatively perceived physical and psychological conditions. #3 The novel centers around the story of Ernesto, a young and physically ideal male, and his older, intellectually gifted partner and former teacher, Celiana. Toward the beginning of the novel, Ernesto, thanks to his physical endowments, is selected by the state to be an official reproducer of the species. #4 Eugenics and the romantic plot work in tandem with a political backdrop in which Mexico is on the brink of a potential trade war with Cuba, due to disagreements regarding the price of sugar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La cucaracha (the cockroach) is a Mexican revolutionary song, the chorus of which probably alludes to General Victoriano Huerta, who was called la cucaracha because of his consumption of alcohol and drugs and who allegedly could not get going without marihuana. The historical background of this popular song, which is now known throughout the world, prompted the author to give this title to her travelogue about Central Mexico and the Yucatán. All the major colonial cities of the Central Highlands did indeed play a decisive role during the Mexican revolutionary wars of the 19th century.

A chillingly charismatic aristocrat. And a brave socialite drawn to expose their treacherous secrets. . . . From the author of Gods of Jade and Shadow comes “a terrifying twist on classic gothic horror” (Kirkus Reviews) set in glamorous 1950s Mexico. After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemí Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She’s not sure what she will find—her cousin’s husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noemí knows little about the region. Noemí is also an unlikely rescuer: She’s a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she’s also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: Not of her cousin’s new husband, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by Noemí; and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemi’s dreams with visions of blood and doom. Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family’s youngest son. Shy and gentle, he seems to want to help Noemí, but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family’s past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family’s once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as Noemí digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness. And Noemí, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this enigmatic house behind. “It’s as if a supernatural power compels us to turn the pages of the gripping Mexican Gothic.”—The Washington Post “Mexican Gothic is the perfect summer horror read, and marks Moreno-Garcia with her hypnotic and engaging prose as one of the genre’s most exciting talents.”—Nerdist “A period thriller as rich in suspense as it is in lush ’50s atmosphere.”—Entertainment Weekly
