El país indiviso by Roxana Boixadós and Judith Farberman delves into the history of Los Llanos de La Rioja during the colonial period in Argentina. The book examines the socio-economic and ethnic dynamics of the region, focusing on the settlement patterns, land conflicts, and mestizaje processes. The authors explore the intricate relationships forged between indigenous communities, mestizos, and Spanish settlers, highlighting the asymmetrical ties based on loyalty, debt, and protection. The work is a scholarly investigation that combines historical and anthropological perspectives to understand how these relationships evolved and influenced political and social structures into the 19th century. The book is intended for historians, anthropologists, and readers interested in colonial history and ethnic studies.

"Nepantla Squared maps the lives of two transgender mestiz@s, one during the turn of the twentieth century and one during the turn of the twenty-first century, to chart the ways race, gender, sex, ethnicity, and capital function differently in different times. To address the erasure of transgender mestiz@ realities from history, Linda Heidenreich employs an intersectional analysis that critiques monopoly and global capitalism. Heidenreich builds on the work of Gloria Anzaldua's concept of nepantleras, those who could live between and embody more than one culture, to coin the term nepantla(2), marking times of capitalist transition where gender was also in motion. Transgender mestiz@s, too, embodied that movement. Heidenreich insists on a careful examination of the multiple in-between spaces that construct lives between cultures and genders during in-between times of shifting empire and capital. In so doing, they offer an important discussion of race, class, nation, and citizenship centered on transgender bodies of color that challenges readers to rethink the way they understand the gendered social and economic challenges of today."--

El espejismo del mestizaje estudia la tensión irresuelta que genera el pensamiento que se ubica en la línea divisoria entre la modernidad, identificada con el desarrollo europeo, y la colonialidad, término con el que se revelan y denuncian los excesos y las limitaciones de la modernidad. Por ello, El espejismo del mestizaje afirma que no hay modernidad sin colonialidad, siendo esta última no sólo constitutiva de la primera, sino el lugar de enunciación que revela sus miserias y sus limitaciones. Este libro está sostenido por investigaciones que, al ser todavía poco conocidas por la academia angloparlante, constituyen, sin embargo, una novedosa perspectiva para repensar Latinoamérica. Aún más, El espejismo del mestizaje, que cuestiona la universalidad de las ciencias sociales y humanas, interviene decisivamente en la discursividad propia de las ciencias modernas, y, así configura otro espacio de producción de conocimientos que, de acuerdo con Walter Mignolo, es la construcción de un “paradigma otro”, una forma distinta de pensamiento que se atreve a ver el mundo “de otro modo”.

Racism has historically been a taboo topic in Mexico. This is largely due to the nationalist project of mestizaje which contends that because all Mexicans are racially mixed, race is not a salient political issue. In recent years, however, race and racism have become important topics of debate in the country's public sphere and academia. This book introduces readers to a sample of these diverse and sometimes conflicting views that also intersect with discussions of class. The activists and scholars included in the volume come from fields such as anthropology, linguistics, history, sociology, and political science. Through these diverse epistemological frameworks, the authors show how people in contemporary Mexico interpret the world in racial terms and denounce racism.
