Book Description
El programa Oportunidades (ahora Prospera) ha sido desde 1997 el principal instrumento de la política social mexicana dirigido a los hogares en pobreza extrema. Su fin último es contribuir a la ruptura de la transmisión de la pobreza entre generaciones, a través del desarrollo del capital humano de los niños y su posterior inserción en el mercado de trabajo en empleos de mayor estatus y remuneración. Esta obra busca avanzar un paso más e indagar si este programa podría incidir en la reproducción intergeneracional de la pobreza a través de una incorporación laboral favorable de sus beneficiarios al alcanzar la juventud. Colección: "Grandes problemas", coeditada por la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México y El Colegio de México.

Book Description
This open access Regional Reader describes how Mexico - United States migration changed substantially during the first decade of the 21st Century. The book provides an in-depth analysis on the changes in the flows into and out of both countries, thus highlighting the issues arising from Mexico - US migration as well as addressing the large numbers of adults and children entering Mexico from the United States. It covers how this tidal change affects the Hispanic population of the U.S. and return migrants' reincorporation in Mexico; their jobs, access to school, health and access to health services, how fear became a dominant aspect of Mexicans’ lives in the U.S., and the role played by crime and social policy in Mexico.

Book Description
Racism has historically been a taboo topic in Mexico. This is largely due to the nationalist project of mestizaje which contends that because all Mexicans are racially mixed, race is not a salient political issue. In recent years, however, race and racism have become important topics of debate in the country’s public sphere and academia. This book introduces readers to a sample of these diverse and sometimes conflicting views that also intersect with discussions of class. The activists and scholars included in the volume come from fields such as anthropology, linguistics, history, sociology, and political science. Through these diverse epistemological frameworks, the authors show how people in contemporary Mexico interpret the world in racial terms and denounce racism.
