This book discusses the work of Jose Vasconcelos, Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, Emilio "El Indio" Fernández, El Santo, and Carlos Olvera. These artists--and many others--held diametrically opposed worldviews and used very different media while producing works during different decades. Nevertheless, each of these artists posited the fusion of the body with technology as key to forming an "authentic," Mexican identity.

Mexican educator and thinker Jose Vasconcelos is to Latinos what W.E.B. Du Bois is to African Americans--a controversial scholar who fostered an alternative view of the future. In Josè Vasconcelos: The Prophet of Race, his influential 1925 essay, "Mestizaje" key to understanding the role he played in the shaping of multiethnic America--is for the first time showcased and properly analyzed. Freshly translated here by John H. R. Polt, "Mestizaje" suggested that the Brown Race from Latin America was called to dominate the world, a thesis embraced by activists and scholars north and south of the Rio Grande. Ilan Stavans insightfully and comprehensively examines the essay in biographical and historical context, and considers how many in the United States, especially Chicanos during the civil rights era, used it as a platform for their political agenda. The volume also includes Vasconcelos's long-forgotten 1926 Harris Foundation Lecture at the University of Chicago, "The Race Problem in Latin America," where he cautioned the United States that rejecting mestizaje in our own midst will ultimately bankrupt the nation.

A partir de un trabajo de campo llevado a cabo en la ciudad de Veracruz, el presente libro pretende hacer énfasis en los modos de categorización y/o identificación étnicos que remitan a la herencia africana en el México urbano y contemporáneo. El objetivo es entender cómo estas formas de identificación se movilizan, modelan, ponen en escena, controvierten, evitan o cuestionan, cómo se insertan dentro de otros modos de identificación y organización de la vida social que se fundan en las diferencias de clase, género, generación o características percibidas –social e históricamente– en términos regionales. A pesar de la larga historia de Veracruz como puerto de llegada del comercio de esclavos africanos y del reconocimiento político gradual de la importancia de la “raíz africana” y del Caribe dentro de la cultura local, muy pocos son los estudios enfocados en los usos sociales de categorías como negro, moreno, afromestizo, afrocaribeño o afrodescendiente. Con sus análisis centrados en las escenas de la vida urbana, en las definiciones de las políticas culturales, en los procesos de transformación urbana o en las lógicas de distinción social, el autor sugiere nuevas pistas de investigación que permitan pensar mejor “el ser ambiguo” de las fronteras étnicas en el marco del proceso de afromestizaje.

Le principal intérêt de cet ouvrage réside dans l´approche microhistorique de groupes sociaux aux trajectoires individuelles inattendues. Il renouvelle en partie le regard que l´on porte sur les populations indifférenciées des centres miniers du nord du Mexique colonial. L'enquête, basée sur les archives mexicaines, permet de mieux prendre la mesure des dynamismes, de la fluidité et de la grande instabilité qui affectait ces sociétés. Il en résulte un texte foisonnant d'études de cas, certains étudiés suivant divers angles d'attaque : spatiaux, sociaux, religieux, judiciaires, culturels... Ce livre se propose donc de compléter les travaux sur Zacatecas et l'étude des sociétés minières du Centre-Nord de la Nouvelle-Espagne grâce à une démarche qui apporte un peu de « chair » à une littérature traditionnellement plus encline à considérer l'histoire économique, celle de la construction régionale ou la trajectoire exemplaire des élites.

Through newly unearthed texts virtually unknown in Andean studies, Indians and Mestizos in the "Lettered City" highlights the Andean intellectual tradition of writing in their long-term struggle for social empowerment and questions the previous understanding of the "lettered city" as a privileged space populated solely by colonial elites. Rarely acknowledged in studies of resistance to colonial rule, these writings challenged colonial hierarchies and ethnic discrimination in attempts to redefine the Andean role in colonial society.Scholars have long assumed that Spanish rule remained largely undisputed in Peru between the 1570s and 1780s, but educated elite Indians and mestizos challenged the legitimacy of Spanish rule, criticized colonial injustice and exclusion, and articulated the ideas that would later be embraced in the Great Rebellion in 1781. Their movement extended across the Atlantic as the scholars visited the seat of the Spanish empire to negotiate with the king and his advisors for social reform, lobbied diverse networks of supporters in Madrid and Peru, and struggled for admission to religious orders, schools and universities, and positions in ecclesiastic and civil administration.Indians and Mestizos in the "Lettered City" explores how scholars contributed to social change and transformation of colonial culture through legal, cultural, and political activism, and how, ultimately, their significant colonial critiques and campaigns redefined colonial public life and discourse. It will be of interest to scholars and students of colonial history, colonial literature, Hispanic studies, and Latin American studies.

Presents the first full-length study to treat both parts of Inca Garcilaso de la Vega's foundational text, "Royal Commentaries of the Incas," as a seminal work of political thought in the formation of the early Americas and the early modern period. It is also among a handful of studies to explore the "Commentaries" as "mestizo rhetoric," written to subtly address both native Andean readers and Hispano-Europeans. As the author demonstrates, by blending Andean and European discourses to represent Inca history, Garcilaso further proposed restoring indigenous sovereignty by adopting a new mestizo governing body via the political alliance and intermarriage of encomenderos (estate holders) and Incas. This policy extended to education, missionary, and other practices, reflecting Garcilaso's hopes of forming a peaceful coexistence among native Andeans, mestizos, and first-generation Spaniards.
