Titres dans Mexique

After a decade of chasing stories around the globe, intrepid travel writer Stephanie Elizondo Griest followed the magnetic pull home - only to discover that her native South Texas had been radically transformed in her absence. Ravaged by drug wars and barricaded by an 18-foot steel wall, her ancestral land had become the nation's foremost crossing ground for undocumented workers, many of whom perished along the way.

Fue una terrible lucha armada librada entre el gobierno mexicano y la Iglesia Católica entre 1926 y 1929. Durante esta, se produjeron severos enfrentamientos entre el gobierno de los presidentes Plutarco Elías Calles, y el de su sucesor, Emilio Portes Gil, contra numerosos grupos de laicos, presbíteros y religiosos, contrarios a las políticas que buscaban restringir la autonomía eclesiástica.

In Agustini, it is not unusual to see your grandmother float above the bed when she sleeps, or to purchase torrential rains at a traveling fair, or to watch your family's elderly serving woman develop stigmata, then disappear completely, to be canonized as a local saint. As Delmira becomes a woman, she will search for her missing father, and will make a choice that will force her to leave home forever.

Chi sono i Maya? Cosa realmente si sa della loro civiltà davvero unica che per molti aspetti è ancora avvolta nel mistero? Furono un popolo organizzato in classi sociali, combattivo, con conoscenze scientifiche avanzate dal punto di vista matematico e in particolare astronomico.

Gli avvenimenti predetti e documentati che poi sono realmente accaduti, sono numerosissimi.

As part of the illustrious history of our struggle for independence, one of the most memorable and significant battles, due to its political and ideological impact, was between Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla and José María Morelos y Pavón on the 20th of October, 1810, in what was once called Villa de Charo, two leagues east of the ancient city of Valladolid de Michoacán.

Gustavo Arellano has compiled the best questions about Mexican Americans from readers of his ¡Ask a Mexican!column in California's OC Weekly and uses them to explore the clichés of lowriders, busboys, and housekeepers; drunks and scoundrels; heroes and celebrities; and most important, millions upon millions of law-abiding, patriotic American citizens and their illegal-immigrant cousins who represent some $600 billion in economic power.

Un audiolibro de alto calibre histórico. Desde el célebre Grito de Dolores de 1810, hasta la entrada del Ejército Trigarante a la Ciudad de México en 1821, la compleja, emocionante y fundamental guerra de independencia entre el ejército español y los insurgentes duró poco más de once años, tiempo en los que el futuro México iniciaría su def8initivo camino a la libertad y la vida republicana.

When thinking about the border separating the United States from Mexico, what typically comes to mind is an unwelcoming zone with violent, poverty-ridden towns, cities, and maquiladoras on one side and an increasingly militarized network of barriers and surveillance systems on the other. It was not always this way. In fact, from the end of Mexican-American War until the late twentieth century, the border was a very porous and loosely regulated region.

In 1826, when the story begins, the region was claimed by both Mexico and the United States. Neither country knew much about the lands crossed by such rivers as the Guadalupe, Brazos, Nueces, Trinity, and Rio Grande. Jean Louis Berlandier, a French naturalist, was part of a team sent out by the Mexican Boundary Commission to explore the area. His role was to collect specimens of flora and fauna and to record detailed observations of the landscapes and peoples through which the exploring party traveled.

In this comprehensive survey, updated for this new edition, Henderson explores the entire Maya cultural tradition, from the earliest traces of settlement through the period of the Spanish conquest in the 16th century.

The true story of the city of Port Royal in Jamaica. In 1692, an earthquake and tidal wave caused the city to sink beneath the sea. Robert F. Marx was one of the men caught up in the legends of buried treasure and this audiobook describes the fulfillment of his childhood dream: a two-and-a-half year exploration of the historic Jamaican port. The first investigation of the site by a trained marine archaeologist, his expedition discovered thousands of perfectly preserved artifacts of life in the 17th century city.

For three days in the fall of 1846, US and Mexican soldiers fought fiercely in the picturesque city of Monterrey, turning the Northern Mexican town, known for its towering mountains and luxurious gardens, into one of the 19th century's most gruesome battlefields. Led by Brigadier General Zachary Taylor, graduates of the US Military Academy encountered a city almost perfectly protected by mountains, a river, and a vast plain.

In The Search for the Codex Cardona, Arnold J. Bauer tells the story of his experiences on the trail of a cultural treasure, a Mexican “painted book” that first came into public view at Sotheby’s auction house in London in 1982, nearly 400 years after it was presumably made by Mexican artists and scribes. On folios of amate paper, the Codex includes two oversized maps and 300 painted illustrations accompanied by text in 16-century paleography.

This is a paper that I wrote very early during my undergraduate work, and I cannot promise that it is very good, but it does give a fair overview of what the Aztecs faced in their final days, at the hands of Cortes and his men. The Aztecs stood up against immeasurable odds, fighting whom they believed, at first, were their gods, finally returned to Earth. When they realized their error, it was too late.
