Archaeology Without Borders: Contact, Commerce, and Change in the U.S. Southwest and Northwestern Mexico
Archaeology without Borders presents new research by leading U.S. and Mexican scholars and explores the impacts on archaeology of the border between the United States and Mexico. It offers a synthesis of early agricultural adaptations in the region, groundbreaking archaeological research on social identity, and data previously not readily available to English-speaking readers.
Distinguished by its dramatic landscape, the Southwest is a land of twisting canyons, cactus- studded desert, and rugged mountains. For more than 15,000 years, the region was inhabited by Native Americans, but by the 20th century Anglo-American traditions had mingled with those of the Hispanic and Native populations to create the Southwest’s multicultural heritage.
Covers: the Grand Canyon, Northern Arizona, Phoenix, Southern Arizona, Las Vegas, Southern Utah, the Four Corners, Santa Fe, Northern New Mexico, Albuquerque, and Southern New Mexico.
Drawing on relevant international research, including information from experts’ presentations and papers given at the December 2008 Joint Conference between the OECD and the Government of Mexico, this book sets out good practice in the design and implementation of incentive systems for teachers.
Mexico experienced extreme political instability in the period following its independence from Spain. Under the dictator Porfirio Diaz, power, wealth and land were concentrated in the hands of very few, while injustice, poverty and domination by foreign interests grew. Revolutionary Mexico (1910-1940) reveals how various groups, such as nationalists, democrats and socialists, united to overthrow the Diaz dictatorship, triggering a prolonged and violent power struggle for control of Mexico.
