HISTORY of MEXICO Brungardt HIST-A410-001 Bobet 211 MWF: 10:30-11:20Am Spring 2011
HISTORY OF MEXICO Brungardt HIST-A410-001 Bobet 211 MWF: 10:30-11:20am Spring 2011 DESCRIPTION: This course surveys the history of Mexico from the beginning to the present. GRADES: Loyola's final letter grades are: F, D, D+, C-, C, C+, B-, B, B+, A-, and A, and in this course they can be averaged by using the numbers 0 through 10. Your final grade is 1/3 quizzes, 1/3 discussion, and 1/3 final exam. Quizzes (1/3 of final grade) Ordinarily at the beginning of every class, promptly at 9:30 there will be a three-minute quiz that is worth ten points. A sample quiz that does not count against you will be given Monday, January 10; any points scored will be added as bonus points to any future points you may accumulate. Thereafter there will be daily quizzes ordinarily for the duration of the semester. The total scored will be divided by the total possible score, that is, for example, 40 quizzes x 10 points equal a total possible score of 400, and if the total scored was 325, then the percent scored would be 81.25% and the equivalent letter grade would be C+. The corresponding letter grades for the percentages would be the following: A = 96-100% = 10 B- = 84-86 = 6 D+ = 73-74 = 2 A- = 93-95 = 9 C+ = 81-83 = 5 D = 70-72 = 1 B+ = 90-92 = 8 C = 78-80 = 4 F = 0-69 = 0 B = 87-89 = 7 C- = 75-77 = 3 No make-ups are given for these quizzes, ever! Anyone who is not in their seat when the quiz is handed out is automatically late, and while they may take the quiz, they must hand it in at the same time as the others.

El Capitalismo Británico En Los Inicios Del México Independiente
Presentación Índice general Índice de autores Búsqueda Ayuda Mapa del sitio Créditos Volumen 6 / Documento 62 [ Anterior | Volumen 6 | Siguiente ] EL CAPITALISMO BRITÁNICO EN LOS INICIOS DEL MÉXICO INDEPENDIENTE ÓSCAR ALATRISTE http://www.iih.unam.mx/moderna/ehmc/ehmc06/662.html Necesidad y conveniencia para México de empréstitos e inversiones extranjeras México surgió a la vida independiente con la gran preocupación de encontrar un medio que salvara al erario público de la penuria, así como también con una falta de capitales que pudieran reanimar el sector de la minería. Los primeros gobiernos dictaron una serie de medidas para reanimar ambos sectores; sin embargo, no fueron suficientes y por lo tanto consideraron que la mejor manera de conseguir fondos parecía ser la consecución de empréstitos extranjeros. La necesidad y la conveniencia de éstos son manifiestas en las voces de altos funcionarios de la época. En mayo de 1822, Francisco de Borja Migoni, comerciante mexicano residente en Londres, escribió al emperador Iturbide ofreciéndole su intervención para negociar un empréstito con Inglaterra. Pensaba que los varios años de residencia en aquel país le permitirían concretarlo en las mejores condiciones.[ 1 ] Migoni reportó que los comerciantes británicos estaban extremadamente interesados en las riquezas y el comercio de México, y reveló que repetidamente ellos le habían preguntado todo lo concerniente a la posibilidad de invertir allí.[ 2 ] Migoni sugería que un préstamo de Inglaterra era conveniente no sólo porque resolvería favorablemente la triste situación de la hacienda imperial, sino también daría a Inglaterra un nuevo interés en apoyar la independencia de México. Al mes siguiente, los legisladores mexicanos discutían la posibilidad de solicitar un préstamo en el extranjero.

Collective Memory, Adina De Zavala and the Tejana
MISSED IDENTITY: COLLECTIVE MEMORY, ADINA DE ZAVALA AND THE TEJANA HEROINE WHO WASN’T by SUZANNE SEIFERT COTTRAUX Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF HISTORY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON May 2013 Copyright © by Suzanne Seifert Cottraux All Rights Reserved ii Acknowledgements Writing this Master’s thesis has represented one of the most challenging and rewarding projects I have ever undertaken, and I would not have been able to accomplish it without the unwavering guidance, support, and encouragement of my committee chairman, Dr. Stephanie Cole. As my research progressed and my perspectives about Adina De Zavala continued to evolve, Dr. Cole provided astute insights, profound questions, and an enthusiasm that quickly equaled my own about the topic. Once I commenced writing, she served as an accessible and supportive sounding board—often “talking me off the ledge”—and ensured that I maintained both my focus and my point of view. Her sense of humor helped quite a bit, too. In addition to Dr. Cole, I must express my deepest appreciation for my committee members, Dr. Joyce Goldberg, Dr. Sam Haynes, and Dr. Stephen Maizlish. Drs. Goldberg and Maizlish, familiar with my work in the graduate program, held my efforts to extremely high standards and helped ensure that my final thesis would truly represent the best of my abilities. Dr. Haynes’ in-depth knowledge of Texas history also proved invaluable in this process and will be critical in my future work.

The defend- ers at the Alamo were under fire from Santa Anna, and Texas still had not officially declared independence from Mexico. When delegates to the first Consultation met in November 1835, they had a decision to make. Should they support Texas remaining a part of Mexico and continue to work on restoring the state’s rights granted in the Constitution of 1824? Or should they seek independence? They called a second meeting of the Consultation on March 1, 1836, hoping that events would help them make their decision.

Lorenzo De Zavala (1788-1836)
Lorenzo de Zavala (1788-1836) No matter where he lived, Lorenzo de Zavala was a leader who believed in democracy. In both Mexico and Texas, he worked hard to put this belief into action. Manuel Lorenzo Justiniano de Zavala y Sáenz was born in 1788 in Mexico, the middle child in a large family. Zavala received a good education. When he graduated in 1807, he founded the first newspaper in the Yucatán. At that time, Mexico was under Spanish rule. Zavala favored democratic reforms. He wrote many articles to promote his ideas. In 1814, the Spanish government sent Zavala to prison for three years for his ideas. In 1821, Mexico became independent from Spain. In 1822 and 1824, Zavala joined the Mexican conGress. He worked to help write a constitution and set up a democratic government for Mexico. Zavala stayed active in this new Government for the next ten years. He served in the Mexican Senate, and then he became governor of the state of Mexico and served as secretary of the treasury. In 1834, the Mexican president, Santa Anna, appointed Zavala to represent Mexico in France. While Zavala was in Paris, he learned that Santa Anna had taken control of the Mexican government as a dictator. Zavala stayed true to his democratic values. He resigned from his position and spoke out against Santa Anna. Santa Anna ordered Zavala to return to Mexico, but Zavala refused. Instead, he made his way to Texas. Zavala got involved in Texas politics right away. He wrote articles encouraging Texans to support a revolution.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT This thesis aims to prove the existence of contemporary Mexican travel-chronicling. Section 2 concentrates on two recent series of travel-chronicles commissioned by Alianza Editorial Mexicana and the Consejo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes (1989-1997). The purpose of this section is to examine the variety of contemporary, and possibly postmodern, approaches to this stubbornly realist and traditional genre. Authors studied in detail are: Juan Villoro and Francisco Hinojosa (an ironic approach to the effects of postmodemity and postmodernism on Mexican life and the practice of travel-chronicling); Rafael Ramirez Heredia and Orlando Ortiz (the commonplaces of the contemporary travel- chronicle); Hector Perea and Alvaro Ruiz Abreu (an increasingly speculative, metaphorical approach); Fernando Solana Olivares and Hugo Diego Blanco (a move towards ‘archival fictions’ (Gonzalez Echevarria) which use previous travel-chronicles as an ‘archive’, rather than as models for form and content).
