Abstract:This essay is an investigation into the Tlatelolco Housing Project and the complexity of Mexican modernity. The completion of the project in 1964 was meant to represent the culmination of modernity. Ironically, the depiction of modernity was also the tool of repression in the student massacre in 1968, and thus the end of modernity. As such, this is an investigation into the Mexican Miracle and the state project of modernization, and the role of the modernist movement not only in the Mexican Revolutionary project, but also in architecture. At the same time, the Tlatelolco Housing Project is an exploration into Mexican state representations of national identity, and Mexican citizens perceptions of Mexicanidad. My project draws from a variety of primary and secondary sources, from state and national archives, architectural journals, and the Mexican census board. This project also involves the examination of pamphlets, newspapers, photographs, blogs, and magazine articles, to grasp how Mexicans understood the state project of modernization, and problems of urban growth.

Abstract:This article focuses on how Salvadoran and Nicaraguan refugees in Honduras during the 1980s were viewed within the United States. The article is not concerned with the actions of aid agencies within Honduras but instead details how concerns for these refugees were both politicised and politicising and how this fit in with existing US debates over the Cold War and US policy in Central America. From Salvadoran solidarity activists to the Reagan administration, a variety of groups highlighted refugees in Honduras as a means of emphasising the righteousness of their cause. The primacy of refugee welfare as a motivating factor differed however, and thus the more exploitative nature of the Reagan administration's interest in refugees stands in contrast to that of other actors.

Abstract:This article argues that shamanism, often regarded as witchcraft or brujería, was a significant tool for the Ecuadorian state in the Amazonian Oriente frontier in the middle of the twentieth century as it sought to administer the region. By studying how colonists and petty officials confronted shamanism and its practitioners, we learn that this cultural practice among the region's indigenous peoples provided a way for the state to increase its power in the region by policing and condemning it. Furthermore, colonists and other powerful individuals could co-opt shamanistic threats to pursue personal agendas and control over resources like land and labor. Though shamanism was in some ways incompatible with the state system and national identity that Ecuadorian state-makers sought to bring to the region, it was nevertheless a way for outsiders to ingrain themselves. Shamanism, including the drinking of ayahuasca, served a vital cultural function for Amazonian indigenous people, but its importance could be taken advantage of. This article examines Ecuadorian press and periodical accounts of shamanism among indigenous peoples of the Amazon and draws upon archival evidence of conflict and competition for resources from the Oriente region of the Napo and Pastaza Rivers during the 1940s-1960s. Informed by theoretical contributions about shamanism from historians and anthropologists of Amazonia, I demonstrate that in the arena of state formation and national identity, shamanism was a dynamic factor of domination often overlooked.
