Stephen Colston, Paul Ganster, Jim Gerber, Pat Huckle, Matthew Kuefler, and especially Ramona Pérez at San Diego State University provided critical guidance that led me to Arizona. At the University of Arizona (UA), I wish to acknowledge financial support from the Group for Early Modern Studies, the Medieval, Renaissance, and Reformation Committee, the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, the Graduate College, and the History Department. I also wish to thank the Fulbright Commission, the Library of Congress, the American Historical Association, and the Program for Cultural Cooperation between Spain’s Ministry of Culture and US Universities for support to carry out extended research. My appreciation to the Centro de Investigaciones Históricas at El Colegio de México for hosting me, and to Juan Pedro Viqueira for serving as my sponsor while I conducted research in Mexico City. Funding from the Ford Foundation and from the UA’s Confluencenter for Creative Inquiry allowed me to prepare my results. I owe the most to my professors who have consistently demonstrated a dedication to their students I can only hope to emulate. Bert Barickman’s incisive questions and detailed commentary have always pushed me in new directions. Stacie Widdifield played a key role in this project providing critical guidance and feedback. Martha Few has been a fierce ally, an encouraging mentor, and a great role model. I am fortunate to have worked with Kevin Gosner, my advisor, whose dedication, support, and disposition have made my doctoral work a truly remarkable experience. I would also like to thank Helen Nader, Linda Darling, Dale Brenneman, and Michael Brescia for their support. Thanks to Dana Leibsohn, Stephanie Wood, Barbara Mundy, Emily Umberger, and John F. López with whom I have bonded over all things cartographic. My appreciation to Ramón Gutiérrez and David Robinson for their generous support. Matt Furlong, Cory Schott, Rob Scott, and especially Ryan Kashanipour, Max Mangraviti, and Ignacio Martinez have made this journey invigorating on so many levels. My thanks to the Guzmán and the Vallejo families for hosting me in Mexico City, and to Anthony Mullan, Richard Headly-Soto, Mary Lou Reker, and Aleksander Mesa for their hospitality while I researched in Washington, DC. My appreciation to Enrique, Socorro, and Carlos Carrillo who have shown me there are no limits to the kindness one can offer others. Thanks also to Enrique Carrillo, Jr. and Gaby Alvarez for their support. My family, José Luis and Guadalupe Sánchez, John and Lety Focareta, Bella Floridia, Alexis and Eric Villegas, and Bianka León, has carried me during the rough patches. Juan Carlos and Lidia Rodríguez, Alfonso and Sandy Carrillo, Clemente Villegas, Asela Castaños, Pato and Faride Gómez, and Fausto Castañeda have enriched my life in countless ways. I would have never followed this path had it not been for the encouragement of my mother, Mariza Sánchez, who taught me to dream, to work hard, and to pay attention to the universal language that binds us. My daughters, Alys, Siena, and Chiara, inspire me every day with their joy and their laughter. Finally, I want to share credit of this project with Gabriela Carrillo, my partner in life, with whom I hold the strongest bond of all. 5 In memory of Emma 6 TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES . 7 ABSTRACT . 9 INTRODUCTION: MAPS, AUTHORITY, AND HISTORIOGRAPHY. .10 CHAPTER 1: THE TRAIL OF FOOTSTEPS . 35 CHAPTER 2: CARTOGRAPHIC MATERIALS. 88 CHAPTER 3: AUTHENTICATION . 134 CHAPTER 4: A TRUE AND FAITHFUL COPY . .166 CONCLUSION: A FINAL REMARK . 205 APPENDIX A: THE MAP OF SANTA CRUZ XOXOCOTLÁN (1686) . 212 APPENDIX B: FIGURES . 213 REFERENCES . 263 7 LIST OF FIGURES 1.

For centuries, the Spanish and Spanish-speaking mestizo (mixed blood) elite oppressed the Mixtec People and their linguistic and cultural practices. These oppressive practices were experienced in Mixtec communities and surrounding urban areas, as well as in domestic and international migrant destinations. In the 1980s, a significant transition occurred in Mexico from indigenismo to a neoliberal multicultural framework. In this transition, discriminatory practices have become increasingly “symbolic,” referring to their assertion in everyday social practices rather than through overt force, obscuring both the perpetrator and the illegitimacy of resulting social hierarchies (Bourdieu, 1991).

  • Tourism, Heritage and Creativity: Divergent Narratives and Cultural Events in Mexican World Heritage Cities
    Tourism, Heritage and Creativity: Divergent Narratives and Cultural Events in Mexican World Heritage Cities Tourismus, Erbe und Kreativität: Divergierende Erzählungen und kulturelle Ereignisse in mexi-kanischen Weltkulturerbe-Städten MARCO HERNÁNDEZ-ESCAMPA, DANIEL BARRERA-FERNÁNDEZ** Faculty of Architecture “5 de Mayo”, Autonomous University of Oaxaca “Benito Juárez” Abstract This work compares two major Mexican events held in World Heritage cities. Gua- najuato is seat to The Festival Internacional Cervantino. This festival represents the essence of a Mexican region that highlights the Hispanic past as part of its identity discourse. Meanwhile, Oaxaca is famous because of the Guelaguetza, an indigenous traditional festival whose roots go back in time for fve centuries. Focused on cultural change and sustainability, tourist perception, identity narrative, and city theming, the analysis included anthropological and urban views and methodologies. Results show high contrasts between the analyzed events, due in part to antagonist (Indigenous vs. Hispanic) identities. Such tension is characteristic not only in Mexico but in most parts of Latin America, where cultural syncretism is still ongoing. Dieser Beitrag vergleicht Großveranstaltungen zweier mexikanischer Städte mit Welt- kulturerbe-Status. Das Festival Internacional Cervantino in Guanajato steht beispiel- haft für eine mexikanische Region, die ihre spanische Vergangenheit als Bestandteil ihres Identitätsdiskurses zelebriert. Oaxaca wiederum ist für das indigene traditionelle Festival Guelaguetza bekannt, dessen Vorläufer 500 Jahre zurückreichen. Mit einem Fokus auf kulturellen Wandel und Nachhaltigkeit, Tourismus, Identitätserzählungen und städtisches Themenmanagement kombiniert die Analyse Perspektiven und Me- thoden aus der Anthropologie und Stadtforschung. Die Ergebnisse zeigen prägnante Unterschiede zwischen den beiden Festivals auf, die sich u.a. auf antagonistische Iden- titäten (indigene vs.

  • Elizabeth and Harold Hinds
    Elizabeth and Harold Hinds Imholte Hall, University of Minnesota-Morris Imholte Hall, Main Floor Walk-in Display Huichol yarn art. This piece depicts a ceiba tree with a bird. Beside it a man shoots a bow and arrow. Other insect- like forms fly about. These hallucinatory images are traditional for the Huicholes, who used peyote to bring on visions. Originally a traditional art form, yarn paintings became popular as tourist art. This piece was purchased at Tlaquepaque, a town just outside of Guadalajara, in the 1970’s. The story on the back reads: Los Huicholes no conocían el maíz en tiempos antiguos. Una vez un niño se enteró de que había gente allende las montañas “que tienen algo que llaman maíz,” y fue en su busaca. En camino se encontró con un grupo de hombres que le dijeron que (h)iba a comprar maíz y el, confiando, les acompañó. Lo que no sabía es que esa gente eran en realidad hormigas (los insectos en esta ilustración). La Gente Hormiga que ro(b)e todo lo que encuentra. Al llegar la madrugada se despertó. Bajo un gran pino y descubrió que le habían roido (robado) toda la ropa, el cabello e inclusive las cejas, y que solamente le quedaban el arco y las flechas. Oyó que un pájaro se pasaba en un árbol, y le apuntó con una flecha, pues tenía hambre. El pájaro le reveló que era Tatey Kukurú Uimári, Nuestra Madre Paloma Muchacha, la Madre del Maíz. Le dijo que siguiera a su casa, donde le daría maíz. Translation: The Huichol people didn’t know about maize in ancient times.

  • The Challenges of Educational Progress in Oaxaca, Mexico
    Government versus Teachers: The Challenges of Educational Progress in Oaxaca, Mexico Alison Victoria Shepherd University of Leeds This paper considers education in the Mexican state of Oaxaca and the effects that an active teachers' union has had upon not only the education of the primary and secondary schools that the teachers represent, but also on higher educational policy in the state. The difference between rhetoric and reality is explored in terms of the union as a social movement, as well as the messy political environment in which it must operate. Through the presentation of a case study of a public higher education initiative, it is argued that the government's response to the teachers' union has included a “ripple effect” throughout educational planning in order to suppress further activism. It is concluded that the prolonged stand-off between the union and the government is counterproductive to educational progress and has turned the general public's favor against the union, in contrast to support for other movements demanding change from the government. Introduction Mexico has a turbulent history of repression and resistance, from the famed 1910 Revolution against the Spanish-dominated dictatorship producing Robin Hood type figures such as Emiliano Zapata, to the 1999 indigenous Zapatista Uprising in Chiapas, named after the aforementioned hero of the previous rebellion (Katzenberger, 2001). In the neighboring region of Oaxaca, teachers had been organizing and demanding change from their government. For over twenty years they have continued to struggle for improvements in infrastructure, materials, working conditions and pay. However, a growing resentment has accumulated amongst students and their families as days camping outside of government offices means increasingly lost learning time being absent from school.

Terraciano, Chair My project traces the evolution of the Zapotec cultural practice of guelaguetza, an indigenous sharing system of collaboration and exchange in Mexico, from pre-Columbian and colonial times to the present. Ironically, the term "guelaguetza" was appropriated by the Mexican government in the twentieth century to promote an annual dance festival in the city of Oaxaca that has little to do with the actual meaning of the indigenous tradition. My analysis of Zapotec-language alphabetic sources from the Central Valley of Oaxaca, written from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, reveals that Zapotecs actively participated in the sharing system during this long period of transformation. My project demonstrates that the Zapotec sharing economy functioned to build and reinforce social networks among households in Zapotec communities.

  • Mineralogy and Origin of the Titanium
    MINERALOGY AND ORIGIN OF THE TITANIUM DEPOSIT AT PLUMA HIDALGO, OAXACA, MEXICO by EDWIN G. PAULSON S. B., Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1961) SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE at the MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY May 18, 1962 Signature of At r . Depardnent of loggand Geophysics, May 18, 1962 Certified by Thesis Supervisor Ab Accepted by ...... Chairman, Departmental Committee on Graduate Students M Abstract Mineralogy and Origin of the Titanium Deposit at Pluma Hidalgo, Oaxaca, Mexico by Edwin G. Paulson "Submitted to the Department of Geology and Geophysics on May 18, 1962 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." The Pluma Hidalgo titanium deposits are located in the southern part of the State of Oaxaca, Mexico, in an area noted for its rugged terrain, dense vegetation and high rainfall. Little is known of the general and structural geology of the region. The country rocks in the area are a series of gneisses containing quartz, feldspar, and ferromagnesians as the dominant minerals. These gneisses bear some resemblance to granulites as described in the literature. Titanium minerals, ilmenite and rutile, occur as disseminated crystals in the country rock, which seems to grade into more massive and large replacement bodies, in places controlled by faulting and fracturing. Propylitization is the main type of alteration. The mineralogy of the area is considered in some detail. It is remarkably similar to that found at the Nelson County, Virginia, titanium deposits. The main minerals are oligoclase - andesine antiperthite, oligoclase- andesine, microcline, quartz, augite, amphibole, chlorite, sericite, clinozoi- site, ilmenite, rutile, and apatite.
