Between 200 and 1200 CE Central Mexico was the setting for the formation and disintegration of two states, Teotihuacan and Tula. At their peaks, both urban centers established distant ties throughout Mesoamerica. The nature of their relations has been the focus of analysis and debate for decades. In this study, Peter Jimenez uses the latest advances in world-systems analysis to study interaction networks in West Mexico from the early Classic to Post-classic period. He demonstrates how the archaeological record contains empirical evidence for the impact of global processes on local developments, in detail, in realms, and at spatial scales, which are revealed here for the first time. His examination of West Mexico's relations to the core states of Central Mexico also underscores the critical role that the semi-periphery played in overall world-system configuration and operation in ancient Mesoamerica.

Canadian Indigenous Literature and Art sheds light on Indigenous justice perspectives in Indigenous literature and art. Decolonizing education, culture, and society is the revolutionary pulse of this book aimed at educational reform and comprehensive change. Select works of published literature and exhibited art are interpreted in the critical discourse presented. Indigeneity as a lens is used to deconstruct education, accountability, and policy in Canada and globally. A new hypothesis is advanced about colonization and Indigenous voicelessness, helplessness, and genocidal victimhood as unchanging conditions of humanity. Activist pushback is demonstrated in the rise of Indigenous sources originating in global Canada. While colonization dehumanizes Canadian Indigenous peoples, a global movement has erupted, changing pockets of curriculum, teaching, and research. Through agency and solidarity in public life and, gradually, education, Indigenous justice is a mounting paradigmatic force. Indigenous voices speak about colonialism as a crisis of humanity that provokes truth-telling and protest. Glimpses of Indigenous futurity offer new possibilities for decolonizing our globally connected lives. Actionable steps include educating for a just world and integrating Indigenous justice in other advocacy theories. “Compelling, interesting, important, and original. I was impressed with Carol Mullen’s knowledge as well as how she wove together this knowledge with both the literature and personal experience throughout this beautifully and soulfully written text. I appreciate how she illuminated spaces and people whose work is often relegated to dark corners.” – Pamela J. Konkol, Professor of Foundations, Social Policy, and Research at Concordia University Chicago.

Cet ouvrage d’économie politique sur des communautés indiennes et rurales du Mexique répond à des questions que la récente actualité, telle la rébellion zapatiste du Chiapas, pose à propos des Indiens. En quoi consiste leur organisation sociale ? Comment évolue-t-elle avec la transformation du système politique mexicain ? Qu’en est-il du rapport entre le territoire et le pouvoir politique ? S’appuyant sur une recherche conduite durant plus de trente ans dans l’État du Guerrerro, l’auteur rejette la vision romantique selon laquelle l’organisation sociale des Indiens se caractériserait par l’égalitarisme, l’harmonie et le refus du monde extérieur, et explique comment les villages indiens accueillent les bouleversements politiques à partir des préoccupations et des conflits qui leur sont propres. Le cadre politico-administratif offert par l’État national, qui instaure un principe d’inégalité entre les groupes locaux, conduit ces derniers à rivaliser sans fin sur les plans municipal, agraire, scolaire et, plus récemment, électoral. Les Indiens mettent alors en œuvre des tactiques directement géopolitiques car, en faisant de la politique, ils cherchent à redécouper l’espace, à réaménager les divisions territoriales. En recourant aux méthodes de l’anthropologie sociale, l’auteur montre en quoi les logiques locales fournissent des éléments d’explication aux problèmes politiques de notre temps.

Before international relations in the West, there were Christian-infidel relations. Infidels and Empires in a New World Order decenters the dominant story of international relations beginning with Westphalia in 1648 by looking a century earlier to the Spanish imperial debate at Valladolid addressing the conversion of native peoples of the Americas. In addition to telling this crucial yet overlooked story from the colonial margins of Western Europe, this book examines the Anglo-Iberian Atlantic to consider how the ambivalent status of the infidel other under natural law and the law of nations culminating at Valladolid shaped subsequent international relations in explicit but mostly obscure ways. From Hernán Cortés to Samuel Purchas, and Bartolomé de las Casas to New England Puritans, a host of unconventional colonial figures enter into conversation with Francisco de Vitoria, Hugo Grotius, and John Locke to reveal astonishing religious continuities and dissonances in early modern international legal thought with important implications for contemporary global society.
