In a ransacked room, a soldier mounts a half-naked woman, pinning her down to the floor by her arms and hair. He perpetuates a violation committed by the other figures leaving the room—one disheveled soldier, viewed from the back, lifts his pants to cover his rear as a shadowy figure exits through the parted curtains to the right of the drawing.

Dr. David Sokol spent countless hours reading my writing. With great humor and insight, he pushed me to think about new perspectives on this topic. I treasure David’s tremendous generosity and his wonderful ability to be a strong mentor. I have known Dr. Javier Villa-Flores and Dr. Cristián Roa-de-la-Carrera for many years, and I cherish the knowledge they have shared with me about the history of Mexico and theory.

When she was ten, her father became a guard at San Quentin state prison, thus beginning the long and constructive association of the Duffy family with that institution. Mrs. Turner s years there, at grammar school on the prison grounds, then high school at San Rafael, and finally college at the University of California, formed the background for her novel, One-Way Ticket. Her college career closed a year before graduation when she married the twenty- six-year -old Socialist journalist, John Kenneth Turner, who later wrote Barbarous Mexico.

Manuel Gamio. Forjando Patria. El lugar del indio maya en la comunidad como un ciudadano libre, autosuficiente y seguro de sí mismo, determinará la medida en que los sacrificios y la amargura de la Revolución tendrán que ser justificados.

Una economía de enclave que, a diferencia de lo que ocu- rría en el centro del país, donde las mudanzas tenían cierta continuidad y se insertaban en la dinámica socioeconómica nacional, impone un brusco quiebre en el curso de forma- ciones agrarias locales de origen colonial que se ven abrup- tamente arrastradas al torbellino del capital trasnacional.
