Plaza of Sacrifices: Gender, Power, and Terror in 1968
Mexico
2006
The government-sanctioned killing of student protesters in Mexico
City on October 2, 1968, continues to haunt the city and the
nation. Elaine Carey’s Plaza of Sacrifices is the first
English-language book-length study to situate this watershed event
in an analytic framework. She provides a gendered analysis of the
protest movement that culminated in the killing of as many as 700
students (estimates are still disputed) and looks at the movement’s
ongoing effects on relations between the state and the individual;
between parents and children; and between men and women in
Mexico.

Historical Perspectives on Contraband and Vice in North America's
Borderlands
2011
In this volume, the borders of North America serve as central
locations for examining the consequences of globalization as it
intersects with hegemonic spaces and ideas, national
territorialism, and opportunities for-or restrictions on-mobility.
The authors of the essays in this collection warn against falling
victim to the myth of nation-states engaging in a valiant struggle
against transnational flows of crime and vice. They take a long
historical perspective, from Mesoamerican counterfeits of cacao
beans used as currency to cattle rustling to human trafficking;
from Canada's and Mexico's different approaches to the illegality
of liquor in the United States during Prohibition to contemporary
case studies of the transnational movement of people, crime,
narcotics, vice, and even ideas. |

Dictators: From Napoleon to Present
2006
Dictators are not new phenomena, but within the
past two centuries have dramatically proliferated in not only
Europe, which witnessed the rise and fall of fascist and communist
ones, but the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Latin America, where
military as well as ideological dictators have emerged. This one
volume encyclopedia provides entries on most, if not all, of the
dictators that have emerged worldwide since the time of Napoleon.
Cataloged in an A-Z format, these entries vary in length, providing
the basic facts on the formation and development of dictatorships
as well as references to further information. The volume will prove
invaluable to high school and college students as well as
librarians wanting to know more about these figures—many of whom
are not included in the older, if larger, biographical
studies. |

 | | The Papacy, the Jews, and the
Holocaust
2008

hierarchy and the Catholic laity towards the Jews over the
centuries as well as during the Fascist period (l922-45), and the
relationship between anti-Judaism and anti- Semitism. Special
attention is given to Pius XI (1922-39) who commissioned an
encyclical Humani Generis Unitas against racism and
anti-Semitism, and Pius XII (1939-58), who decided not to issue
this encyclical. |

broader framework of national and international developments. |

Politics, Taxes, and the Pulpit:
Provocative First Amendment Conflicts
2010
Since the Supreme Court in its recent Citizens United
decision found unconstitutional federal campaign finance
restrictions on corporations’ political campaign speech, these
remaining analogous restrictive tax laws, constraining many
nonprofit entities, are all the more singular and problematic,
particularly for houses of worship. Professor Crimm and her
co-author, Professor Laurence H. Winer, conclude that there are no
means of fully resolving the irreconcilable clashes in a
constitutionally permissible and politically and socially palatable
manner. Nonetheless, the authors offer several feasible legislative
proposals for reform of the tax provisions that should generate
considerable discussion. If Congress implements the proposed
reforms, they should substantially ameliorate the very disquieting
constitutional tensions induced by the current tax laws and curb
the growing emotionally charged atmosphere about the role of
religion in the public sphere. |
