Los últimos años de la reforma agraria mexicana, 1971-1991.


Book Description

Entre noviembre de 1991 y enero siguiente, se tomó la decisión de extinguir la reforma agraria mexicana del siglo xx. Iniciada en 1915 gracias al empeño de demandantes de tierras y de autoridades gubernamentales, esa reforma repartió más de la mitad de territorio nacional y dio lugar a una vasta redistribución de la riqueza que acabó con latifundios y latifundistas. Por ese motivo y por su larga duración, fue, es y será recordada como episodio excepcional de la historia mundial. Su final no halló una oposición generalizada. En este libro se abordan varias preguntas y llevan a centrarse en los enemigos de la reforma agraria, cada vez más poderosos y protagónicos. Se reconstruyen los acontecimientos del noroeste del país de la década de 1970, en especial las afectaciones agrarias de noviembre de 1976. Más que en el neoliberalismo o la apertura comercial, el texto ahonda en la historia agraria para entender la complejidad de los últimos años de dicha reforma.

Tapirs


Book Description

Descended from a long and ancient lineage, tapirs are important tropical forest seed dispersers. However, today, all species of tapirs are threatened to various degrees by habitat destruction and hunting. This action plan was written with wildlife biologists, ecologists, administrators, educators and local conservation officials in mind and is aimed at those countries with tapir populations. It provides a brief natural history of each species and its objective is to aid in their conservation by catalyzing conservation action. In addition, it is hoped that the contents of the plan will stimulate further research into this fascinating group of animals.

Urbanism, Colonialism and the World-economy


Book Description

Recent years have witnessed a surge in public awareness concerning the impact of world economic forces on cities. In this challenging book, the author argues that though the consciousness is new the phenomena themselves are not. For the past two centuries at least, world economic, political and cultural forces have been major factors shaping cities, patterns of urbanization and the physical and spatial forms of the built environment. Anthony King believes that the historical context of contemporary global restructuring must be recognized if present-day urban and regional change is to be properly understood. He explores and documents the cultural and spatial links between metropolitan core and colonial periphery and examines the historical foundations of the world urban system. He also looks at the social production of building and urban form, and demonstrates their potential for understanding economic, political, socail and cultural change on a global scale.
