Los cambios y transformaciones que se dieron durante la administraci n del general C rdenas pretendieron cimentar una modernizaci n del pa s por medio de acciones concretas que se arraigaron en la cultura pol tica y a n subsisten. el prop sito de los autores de este volumen, el quinto de la serie, no consiste en reflexionar sobre el movimiento encabezado por C rdenas y verlo desde la actualidad como una utop a regresiva; m s bien, su objetivo es contribuir a la construcci n de una historia cr tica de las modernizaciones en M xico.

This anthological edition is a well-deserved tribute on the life work of Bostelmann (b. Mexico), one of Mexico's most noted late 20th century photographers. This photographic retrospective presents his striking b/w photographs of desolated and rainy places, nude figures, the town of Cuetzalan, political meetings, children and his ironic color series (CrÑnica de familia, la vida en breve, gallo). Bostelmann was against what he called the "current use and abuse of digital elements" to enhance photography.

"Excellent study of the Dominican Order in the 16th century. Avoids a chronological account giving the reader instead a methodical analysis of the institutional, social, and economic organization of the order. To the prototypes of the urban and the rural convents, Pita Moreda adds a balanced assessment of the missionary activities"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

This comprehensive review of rural policy in Mexico shows that the challenges and potential of rural areas are spatially differentiated and therefore require a place-based policy approach.
