Interesting text despite the stereotypes "savages", "dusky", "These negroes intermarried with the Indians and the mongrel population was of the most degraded character (p. 169)." The stereotypes coexist with criticisms of wrongdoing by whites and government mismanagemen "It was a shameful crime (the enforced removal of the Indians) that brought Geronimo to the front, and gave him the centre of the stage for several years". ; Possibly rub-on tattoos affixed to front pastedown. ; D.j. heavily soiled and torn w/ significant losses; e.p. soiled; boards soiled and lightly worn at edges. ; Mode of access: Internet. ; Pub. yellow cloth illus. w/ chromolith label and white ill. d.j.

In the state of Veracruz, Mexico, lowland and marginal coffee growing regions have been particularly vulnerable since the 1989 coffee crisis. Government programs have promoted production diversification as a strategy to improve local incomes and conserve environmentally beneficial shade-tree coffee agroforests. We present results on land use/land cover dynamics in the municipality of Zozocolco de Hidalgo from 1973 to 2006. The municipality is recognized for its indigenous population and poverty, and currently, diversification efforts are being implemented. Our study combines remote sensing and GIS analyses, binary logistic regression and econometric modeling, as well as socioeconomic surveys to evaluate land use/land cover change (LULCC) dynamics and explore potential environmental and socioeconomic drivers. Results show that tree cover and coffee agroforests had largely been conserved during the first decade after the coffee crisis. But, recent trends indicate loss of tree cover in coffee agroforests and their conversion mostly to pasture. Land use/land cover drivers are largely explained by spatially explicit environmental variables such as slope and elevation. Relevant socioeconomic variables such as distance to markets and land use profitability were not significantly related to land use changes in Zozocolco. Surveys revealed that many households had converted coffee agroforests to pasture or agriculture in the past decade and others intended on renting or selling their agroforest plots, mostly for conversion to pasture. Diversification programs may not be sufficient to stem deforestation in lowland and marginal coffee growing regions. Moreover, information about locally varying socioeconomic and cultural contexts needs to be strongly considered in order to formulate effective strategies.

La tendencia a incluir la perspectiva de género en la gestión de los recursos naturales va en aumento a nivel global. De ahí, la importancia de sumar estudios que den cuenta de las formas en que las mujeres se apropian y reproducen las prácticas productivas, sobre todo en entornos rurales donde persisten desafíos en materia so­ciocultural y económica. El objetivo del estudio fue identificar cómo se crean las oportunidades para el acceso y la participación de las mujeres en torno a la diversificación de las actividades productivas forestales, para contribuir a la conservación del patrimonio biocultural desde sus conocimientos y sus necesidades. Tal incur­sión, se desarrolla en medio de transformaciones del aprovechamiento comercial de las selvas y la reproducción social de su propio patrimonio biocultural. La información se levantó empleando técnicas antropológicas (etnografía, entrevistas a profundidad y un taller de Fortalezas, Oportunidades, Debilidades y Amenazas), que permitieron caracterizar el papel de las mujeres en actividades productivas forestales y su sesgada intervención en la toma de decisiones al respecto, lo cual se extiende a otras dimensiones de la vida familiar y comunitaria. Se encontró que la coexistencia entre el aprovechamiento forestal comercial y el tradicional prevaleciente, ubi­ca a las mujeres en el uso de los recursos naturales de bajo impacto, como la escala dominante de las prácticas de extracción de productos no maderables y aquellas relacionadas con los cuidados del hogar. Aunque algunas de ellas, tienen participación en la actividad comercial maderable, su labor es aún poco reconocida.

BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis (TB) in migrants is an ongoing challenge in several low TB incidence countries since a large proportion of TB in these countries occurs in migrants from high incidence countries. To meet these challenges, several countries utilize TB screening programs. The programs attempt to identify and treat those with active and/or infectious stages of the disease. In addition, screening is used to identify and manage those with latent or inactive disease after arrival. Between nations, considerable variation exists in the methods used in migration-associated TB screening. The present study aimed to compare the TB immigration medical examination requirements in selected countries of high immigration and low TB incidence rates. METHODS: Descriptive study of immigration TB screening programs. RESULTS: 16 out of 18 eligible countries responded to the written standardized survey and phone interview. Comparisons in specific areas of TB immigration screening programs included authorities responsible for TB screening, the primary objectives of the TB screening program, the yield of detection of active TB disease, screening details and aspects of follow up for inactive pulmonary TB. No two countries had the same approach to TB screening among migrants. Important differences, common practices, common problems, evidence or lack of evidence for program specifics were noted. CONCLUSIONS: In spite of common goals, there is great diversity in the processes and practices designed to mitigate the impact of migration-associated TB among nations that screen migrants for the disease. The long-term goal in decreasing migration-related introduction of TB from high to low incidence countries remains diminishing the prevalence of the disease in those high incidence locations. In the meantime, existing or planned migration screening programs for TB can be made more efficient and evidenced based. Cooperation among countries doing research in the areas outlined in this study should facilitate the development of improved screening programs. ; The study was funded by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC).
