Mexican Marks
Mexican Marks Bill Lockhart, Beau Schriever, Bill Lindsey, Bob Brown, and Carol Serr Information on Mexican glass factories and manufacturer’s marks has been generally spotty. Mostly, those few researchers who addressed the subject only examined a small part of the picture. This study is an attempt to integrate the existing literature into a single, reasonably comprehensive synthesis of the glass history and manufacturer’s marks. The History of Mexican Glass – Prior to the 20th Century Rodrigo Espinosa crossed the ocean to form a glass factory on Calle del Venado (Deer St.) at Puebla, New Spain (later Mexico), in 1547. Espinosa’s plant was known for its high quality flasks, bottles, and glasses, which it exported as far as Guatemala and Peru. The factory continued in production until sometime between 1712 and 1723. The firm had virtually no competition until Antonio Prado built a factory in the same city. By this time, demand for containers had increased, and both plants were pushed to capacity to fill their orders (Díaz Cruz and Mas Escoto 1952:8-10; López & Martínez 2008). After an initial attempt at Puebla, Camilo Ávalos Razo opened a small factory in 1889 near La Merced, the best known shopping district in Mexico City. Camilo was the first glassmaker of Mexican origin, and his plant became very successful. His descendants diversified the product line, and one opened a factory at Guadalajara to serve the various tequila plants in the area (López & Martínez 2008). We have not discovered how long any of these works survived. Much of the glass imported by Mexico prior to the 20th century was from Germany, although the United States became a major exporter to our neighbor by 1910. -
La Cómplice Ciudad De México En La Novela María Lorena Lozoya Saldaña*
Dintel dintel La cómplice Ciudad de México en la novela María Lorena Lozoya Saldaña* es una de las primeras novelas urbana que logró recrear los espacios y los habitantes de las colonias centrales de la Ciudad de México. Los recorridos de los persona- jes pueden ser seguidos en un mapa, aunque no siempre encontraremos los lugares exactos, afor- tunadamente algunos permanecen. Los espacios de convivencia y de moda en esa época son descri- tos con precisión, el narrador nos conduce con pericia por las calles y los sitios de una metrópoli que lo seduce y no se cansa de recorrer; es la ciudad lumi- nosa y oscura, coautora y testigo, donde el asesino, él o cualquiera, siempre regresa encubierto en el anoni- mato de las multitudes urbanas. La ciudad como personaje, que se muestra ge- nerosa, compañera y cómplice en los avatares de Roberto de la Cruz, el hombre de los ojos dorados, el incipiente verdugo y aspirante a criminal-artista. Esa Ciudad de México en la década de los cuaren- ta, la que cambia, la que se transforma, crece, y se moderniza ante la mirada y el azoro de sus habitan- tes que poco a poco se adaptan al nuevo ritmo de la urbe, frenético y ruidoso como los automóviles que se apoderan de las avenidas. En la novela hay dos narradores: el propio De la Cruz y el narrador que nos lo presenta; este segun- do narrador no es omnisciente (que lo sabe todo), sino que usa la focalización interna fija en De la Nacho López. De la serie: "Ciudad de México de día, 1957. -

Chicana/Os Disarticulating Euromestizaje By
(Dis)Claiming Mestizofilia: Chicana/os Disarticulating Euromestizaje By Agustín Palacios A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Laura E. Pérez, Chair Professor José Rabasa Professor Nelson Maldonado-Torres Universtiy of California, Berkeley Spring 2012 Copyright by Agustín Palacios, 2012 All Rights Reserved. Abstract (Dis)Claiming Mestizofilia: Chicana/os Disarticulating Euromestizaje by Agustín Palacios Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Laura E. Pérez, Chair This dissertation investigates the development and contradictions of the discourse of mestizaje in its key Mexican ideologues and its revision by Mexican American or Chicana/o intellectuals. Great attention is given to tracing Mexico’s dominant conceptions of racial mixing, from Spanish colonization to Mexico’s post-Revolutionary period. Although mestizaje continues to be a constant point of reference in U.S. Latino/a discourse, not enough attention has been given to how this ideology has been complicit with white supremacy and the exclusion of indigenous people. Mestizofilia, the dominant mestizaje ideology formulated by white and mestizo elites after Mexico’s independence, proposed that racial mixing could be used as a way to “whiten” and homogenize the Mexican population, two characteristics deemed necessary for the creation of a strong national identity conducive to national progress. Mexican intellectuals like Vicente Riva Palacio, Andrés Molina Enríquez, José Vasconcelos and Manuel Gamio proposed the remaking of the Mexican population through state sponsored European immigration, racial mixing for indigenous people, and the implementation of public education as a way to assimilate the population into European culture. -

Los militares federales antes, durante y después de la Decena Trágica The Federal Army before, during and after the Ten Tragic Days Edwin Alberto Álvarez Sánchez Museo Casa de Carranza Pedro Celis Villalba Instituto Cultural Helénico Cómo citar este artículo: Edwin Alberto Álvarez Sánchez y Pedro Celis Villalba, “Los militares federales antes, durante y después de la Decena Trágica”, en Boletín del Archivo General de la Nación, núm. 7 (enero-abril 2021), novena época, pp. 9-67. Recibido: 14 de septiembre de 2020 • Aprobado: 9 de noviembre de 2020 Resumen Este artículo busca reforzar las nuevas explicaciones propuestas por Bernardo Ibarrola y Edgar Urbina acerca de la Decena Trágica y sobre la conducta seguida por los generales federales para con los gobiernos de Francisco I. Madero y Victo- riano Huerta y, por tanto, contribuir a matizar la opinión generalizada sobre que el Ejército Federal en su conjunto fue el artífice del derrocamiento de Madero. Sin embargo, también fijamos nuestra posición personal, que no siempre coin- cide con dichos autores. Palabras clave: Ejército Federal, Decena Trágica, Victoriano Huerta, Francisco I. Madero, Revolución mexicana Abstract This paper seeks to enforce the new explanations that have been proposed by Bernardo Ibarrola and Edgar Urbina in relation with the Ten Tragic Days, as well as the behavior of the generals of the Federal Army towards the adminis- trations of Francisco I. Madero and Victoriano Huerta, and, therefore, to change the opinion that maintains that the Federal Army as a whole ousted President Madero. Nevertheless, we make clear our differences with Ibarrola´s and Urbi- na´s approach.
