  • Charrería, Nationalism, and Manly Relevance in Modern Mexico
    CHARRERÍA, NATIONALISM, AND MANLY RELEVANCE IN MODERN MEXICO Angélica Castillo Reyna A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: John C. Chasteen Kathryn Burns Cynthia M. Radding Miguel La Serna Jocelyn Olcott © 2018 Angélica Castillo Reyna ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Angélica Castillo Reyna: Charrería, Nationalism, and Manly Relevance in Modern Mexico (Under the direction of John C. Chasteen) This dissertation offers two premises. First, there is a deep history of relationships between power, horsemanship, and constructions of masculinity in modern Mexico. Second, because of this history, Mexicans in various eras and situations have depended on rural equestrian costumes, identities, and traditions to influence, interpret, and navigate the world around them. Part 1 of this dissertation consists of three chapters and provides an overview of the development of Mexican equestrian customs and the ways that Mexicans in colonial, independent, and revolutionary Mexico used horsemanship to make their lives meaningful, central, and sustainable. Part II, composed of five chapters, shifts to a discussion of the emergence of the equestrian sport community of organized charrería and the way that organized charros continued the practice of transforming Mexico’s equestrian past into a form of strategic cultural capital. Post-revolutionary organized charros, cognizant of the rich equestrian history they had to draw upon, used the idea of Mexican horsemen’s historic contributions in order to claim relevance in post-revolutionary Mexico as the heirs and latest representatives of that historically-significant equestrian tradition.

    17 From Unknown Mexico to Amazing Mexico More than anything else, the "x" in Mexico symbolizes a crossroads. Long before Europeans arrived there, Mexico's varied peoples and cultures intersected. Constant migration from north to south, and also in reverse, produced a web of interrelated yet distinct beliefs. A bounty of natural elements united by agriculture and religion formed a broad foundation for highly complex cultures.

The Marquisate of the Valley of Oaxaca was carefully constructed during his lifetime to be his lasting legacy in New Spain. The goal of this dissertation is to reexamine published primary sources in light of this new argument and integrate unknown archival material to trace the development of a lasting legacy by Cortés and his direct heirs in Spanish colonial Mexico. Part one looks at Cortés’s life after the conquest of Mexico, giving particular attention to the themes of fame and honor and how these ideas guided his actions. The importance of land and property in and after the conquest is also highlighted. Part two is an examination of the marquisate, discussing the key features of the various landholdings and also their importance to the legacy Cortés sought to construct.

Cushman Date approved: October 20, 2014 iii Abstract This dissertation centers on the place natural history occupied in Mexican science and the ideas of the members of the Sociedad Mexicana de Historia Natural (SMHN). I propose that between 1865 and 1914, Mexican intellectuals who joined the Sociedad Mexicana de Historia Natural or participated on its margins, maintained a traditional, teleological understanding about the close links between the natural and social world. However, in this period they also embraced the use of scientific inquiry to enhance their understanding of the natural world in order to guide the country toward order and progress, similar to that enjoyed by other Western societies, especially France and the US. Influenced by Humboldt, Comte, Lamarck, and Spencer, Mexican scientists encouraged the study of natural history, believing that there was a strong and reciprocal relationship between the natural and social world.

  • THE EFFECT of RELIGION on LATIN AMERICAN MIGRATION to the UNITED STATES by Jeffrey Michael Hill
    THE EFFECT OF RELIGION ON LATIN AMERICAN MIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES By Jeffrey Michael Hill Submitted to the graduate degree program in Latin American Area Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Brent Metz ________________________________ Ebenezer Obadare ________________________________ Gary Reich Date Defended: January 15, 2015 The Thesis Committee for Jeffrey Michael Hill certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: THE EFFECT OF RELIGION ON LATIN AMERICAN MIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES ________________________________ Chairperson Brent Metz Date approved: January 15, 2015 ii Abstract This paper explores the effects of religion on Latin American migration to the United States. It updates the existing literature on the effect of religion on the six stages of migration (decision, preparation, journey, arrival, settlement, and transnational linkages) by integrating field research with existing case studies to illuminate the ways in which religion plays an important part in each stage. It argues that deportation should be considered as the seventh stage of migration because of its ubiquity and the unique challenges it presents to migrants. It explores the effect of both institutional religion and personal faith on the migrant being pushed through the deportation process. The paper employs the use of qualitative interviews and a case study of the Casa del Migrante Scalabriniana in Tijuana, Mexico to explore the effects of religion on each stage of migration. While the study does not argue that religion is a part of every migrant’s journey, it does provide evidence that religion is an important resource throughout the stages of migration, even to those who do not consider themselves to be religious.
