  • World's Largest Congress of Americanists to Take Place in Vienna In
    World’s Largest Congress of Americanists to Take Place in Vienna in 2012 From 15 to 20 July 2012, the University of Vienna will host the 54 International Congress of Americanists (54 ICA). Around 5000 participants from Latin America and Europe are expected to gather in Austria for interdisciplinary exchange and international networking. The International Congress of Americanists returns to Vienna for the third time after 1908 and 1960, under the theme ‘Building Dialogues in the Americas’. Prominent scholars from the fields of Humanities and Social Studies will gather here to present their latest research findings and engage in professional exchange with fellow researchers. The exceedingly high interest in this congress is reflected in the large number of approved symposia, which currently stands at 460. Around 5000 participants are expected to attend the 54 ICA, with an estimated 50% from Latin America. The various thematic fields covered by the congress range from Environment and Resource Politics over Economy to Human Rights. However, the fields of History and Social and Cultural Anthropology are the most widely represented. As illustrated by the motto of the congress, ‘Building Dialogues in the Americas’, the organizers’ aim is to bridge the regional and disciplinary divides within the research area. Each day there will be various symposia and workshops as well as keynote speeches and roundtable discussions. One such keynote speech will be held by the acclaimed Ecuadorian economist and former Minister of Energy and Mining, Alberto Acosta, also known as one of the advocates of the indigenous concept of ‘Buen Vivir’. This concept of ‘good life’, which has its origins in Latin America, is also starting to attract more and more interest in Europe.

  • Friedrich Katz 1927-2010
    TTTTTTT Friedrich Katz 1927-2010 I E l Dr. Friedrich Katz fue, sin duda, uno de los historiadores extranjeros que más contribuyeron al conocimiento y difu- sión de la historia de México, en la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Fue hijo único del matrimonio formado por Leo y Bronia Katz. Nació en Viena, Austria, en 1927, aunque sus primeros años transcu- rrieron en Berlín. A la llegada de Adolfo Hitler al poder en 1933, los miembros de la familia Katz se trasladaron a París, ahí concluyó Friedrich sus primeros estudios. Poco después, su padre fue expulsa- do de Francia por participar en diversas actividades antifascistas, ra- zón por la cual la familia se estableció durante un tiempo en Nueva York. Posteriormente, los Katz fijaron su residencia en México. Go- bernaba en ese entonces el general Lázaro Cárdenas, quien mantenía una política de puertas abiertas a los perseguidos políticos. El joven Friedrich continuó su formación escolar en México, al quedar inscrito en el Liceo Franco Mexicano. Según el testimonio que nos da el histo- riador John H. Coatsworth, “La familia escogió el Liceo porque Friedrich ya se expresaba en un francés fluido y apenas empezaba a aprender el español. Las escuelas alemanas todavía eran pro-nazis y antisemíticas por lo que estaban vedadas para él. Irónicamente el amor de Friedrich Katz hacia México y su pasión por la cultura y la historia comenzó a desarrollarse mientras aún hablaba alemán en casa y fran- cés en el aula, y cuando vivía entre refugiados europeos preocupados 233 T TZINTZUN • Revista de Estudios Históricos TTTTTTT por una conflagración mundial que nunca afectó a México directa- mente”.

  • Obituary Manfred Kossok (1930-1993)
    Obituary Manfred Kossok (1930-1993) FRIEDRICH KATZ* ENRIQUE SEMO** Early in 1993, Manfred Kossok, one of Germany's leading historians of Latin America, died in Leipzig. For most of his life, he taught history at the Karl Marx University of Leipzig in what was the German Democratic Re­ public. Kossok was a student of Walter Markov, the dean of East Germany's historians. Markov, a specialist in the history of the French Revolution, had spent 11 years in a Nazi prison, where the library contained a huge number of books on colonial problems and especially German colonial ventures. This may have been the basis for Markov's interest in colonial problems, which led him to set up a workshop at the University of Leipzig to examine the history of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Kossok be­ came the main Latin Americanist in that group, and after studying with Markov, he went to the University of Cologne to study the colonial his­ tory of Latin America with Richard Konetzke, the dean of German Latin American historians. Refusing an offer to teach at Cologne, Kossok returned to East Ger­ many, where he first wrote a dissertation on the social and economic organization of the Rio de la Plata in the colonial period. He then wrote a second dissertation (Habilitationsschrift) that was published under the title 1m Schatten der heiligen Allianz (In the Shadow of the Holy Alliance, 1964). On the basis of a huge number of unpublished archival sources from Germany, Austria, France, Britain, Spain, and Russia, Kossok pro­ ceeded to analyze the reasons for the failure of the Holy Alliance's efforts to reconquer Spanish America for Spain.

  • Adolfo Gilly's Revision of the Mexican Revolution
    Vol. 4, No. 2, Winter 2007, 243-253 www.ncsu.edu/project/acontracorriente Review/Reseña Adolfo Gilly. The Mexican Revolution: A People’s History. Trans. Patrick Camiller. (New York: The New Press, 2005) From Marxism to Social History: Adolfo Gilly’s Revision of The Mexican Revolution Luis F. Ruiz University of Oregon Adolfo Gilly’s The Mexican Revolution, published in The New Press’s series A People’s History, directed by Howard Zinn, is an updated translation of his influential book La Revolución interrumpida, published originally in 1971. Gilly’s book is a welcome addition to the available literature in English on the Mexican Revolution. Most of the recent books on the Mexican Revolution are either specialized studies of regional history or extensive volumes Ruiz 244 that would overwhelm a good number of undergraduate students and lay readers. With the exception of Michael J. Gonzales’s The Mexican Revolution 1910-1940 (2002), few works in English provide the kind of useful overview presented by Gilly in The Mexican Revolution (2005). Because Gilly focuses on the lower classes and their role as “prime movers” of the revolutionary movement, his work could be described as a bottom-up social history of the Mexican Revolution. His study of class warfare and class relations provides a reasonable interpretation of the complex revolutionary process. Although recent studies on regionalism have made the overall narrative of the Mexican Revolution less succinct and more problematic, historians still need to discuss the event as a whole. Gilly’s work offers one possible interpretive framework for the Mexican Revolution.

There have been two important trends in the 20th century historiography of Latin America that have been applied to the Mexican Revolution. The first, dealing with cultural and social history, is subaltern studies. This trend has revo- lutionized the field of LatinAmerican history by using the new social history first popularized during the 1960s as a method of telling history from the bottom up. In particular, subaltern studies looks at the power arrangements and relationships on both a macro and micro level, the relationship between peones and cacique, for instance, or between the urban elite and rural hacendados. The trend has ENSAYOS BIBLIOGRÁFICOS / REVIEW ESSAYS 173 also generated a new methodology for viewing the relationship between Latin American countries and the western juggernauts, as Mexico can be viewed as having subaltern status to the hegemonic United States or Great Britain.

  • Origins and Migrations, Interests and Identities Andreas W. Daum
    Introduction REFUGEES FROM NAZI GERMANY AS HISTORIANS Origins and Migrations, Interests and Identities Andreas W. Daum S Th is book deals with the biographies, scholarly oeuvres, and intellectual interests of men and women who were both professional historians and, in a particu- lar sense, “participants” in history.1 Th ey were born in the early twentieth cen- tury and grew up in Germany or the surrounding German-speaking territories usurped by the National Socialist regime before 1939. At a young age, they were forced to leave the so-called Th ird Reich and escaped to other countries. Th e families of these young refugees reacted to the discrimination and terror that the Nazis imposed on them. Th ey were no longer wanted in Germany. With few exceptions, they were targeted as Jews. In contrast to the older, fi rst generation of émigrés2 who fl ed the Nazi dictatorship after their university training had been completed, members of the younger, or second, generation acquired their academic degrees after their emigration and in the English-speaking world. Our volume concentrates on this younger cohort, specifi cally those who ultimately settled, or spent the bulk of their career, in North America; we also cast a look at England and Israel. In this second generation we encounter historians who lost their parents and family members in the Holocaust as well as scholars who escaped the Nazis via a Kindertransport (children’s transport) abroad. We fi nd one historian who was still a baby when his parents brought him to Shanghai, and another who parachuted as a U.S.
