The struggle for Mexico: state corporatism and popular opposition
"This study examines the transformation of Mexico's social and political organization from state corporatism to transnationalized corporatism, a form distinguished by the effect that International Financial Institutions and the World Trade Organization have on the state's relationship to the rest of society. This work emphasizes the continued relevance of corporatist structures in an environment of electoral democratic reform"--Provided by publisher

African Mexicans in Spanish Slave Societies in America: A Critical Location of Sources
In: Journal of black studies, Volume 40, Issue 4, p. 683-699
ISSN: 1552-4566
This article examines the sources of the discourse on African Mexicans, often referred to as Afromexicans, in an effort to structure a more extensive foundation for cultural work. Taking an Afrocentric approach to the study of Africans who were enslaved by the Spanish in Mexico, the author, who speaks Spanish, traveled to Mexico on many occasions to study the retention of African cultural forms, concepts, practices, and values. As a result of this work, the author wrote her doctoral dissertation at Temple University on African Mexicans. Thus, this article provides the reader with a critical literature brief on the issues surrounding the current discourse.
Self-Regulation Of Faculty In Higher Education
Many of the disciplines in which faculty in institutions of higher education are trained, such as law, accounting or medicine, are characterized by a code of ethics and by the regulation of those guiding principles by the profession. Universally, however, academia, is neither guided by a single code of ethics, nor self-regulated by such a code. The tenure system, while compatible with progressive counseling, is less compatible with progressive discipline because of its limited exceptions for terminating tenure and few options for otherwise correcting problematic behavior. As state legislators seek to implement a system of performance checks through post-tenure review, faculty as a whole should consider implementing a code of ethics, coupled with a system of self-regulation for compliance. This paper will discuss these issues and propose that since all faculty members, not just faculty who are administrators, are potentially affected by the sub-standard performance of a colleague, the collective body of faculty should establish and maintain a disciplinary board for regulating professionalism in institutions of higher education.

Contemporary religious movements attempting to reestablish moral supremacy have constructed homosexual & queer groups as outsiders that must be marginalized & annihilated. Current discursive practices that present homosexuality as a perversion of heteronormativity are predicted on a notion of compulsory heterosexuality that ultimately governs permissible & deviant sexuality & gender roles. Tension between the first Bill Clinton Administration & conservative religious groups over the participation of gays & lesbians in the US military is reviewed; although religious groups cited gay & lesbian inclusion as an infraction of moral responsibility, gay & lesbian activist groups suggested that the issue concerned the acquisition of certain civil rights. It is concluded that the military remains the last bastion of white, middle-class, heterosexual, & masculine hegemonic control over minority groups; a narrow & exclusivist interpretation of what defines a true American ironically dominates current discursive practices. 45 References.
