Abstract
This article examines the emergence of the ban on women wrestlers from the sporting spectacle of lucha libre in Mexico City in the 1950s. Set against broader moral preoccupations about the growing popularity and visibility of lucha libre in Mexican society as a result of its broadcasting on television, luchadoras were seen as examples of transgressive femininity, which rendered attempts to make them invisible necessary. This work joins the efforts of scholars who write the history of women’s participation and exclusion from sporting activities and contributes to the growing fields of sports studies and studies of mass culture within Mexico.

Abstract
Speculation about the causal relationship between the US panic of 1907 and the Mexican Revolution of 1910 has generated many hypotheses. We review the hypotheses of contemporary observers and recent historians. Our analysis begins with a timeline of events in both countries and then examines the available data for activities that are theoretically possible avenues for the international transmission of economic events, including trade and investment. Mexican wages, banking, and government debt levels are also examined for signs of stress. We conclude that the US panic and recession had little effect on revolutionary conditions in Mexico.

Abstract
A body of nearly ninety criminal trials for abortion and infanticide in nineteenth-century Yucatán reveal some contradictory traits. On one hand, the testimony that licensed physicians provided to courts about the nature of the medicines that midwives and boticarios supplied to pregnant Mayan women was surprisingly respectful and supportive of these unlicensed health practitioners. The cases reveal both the ongoing practice of Mayan medicinal and botanical knowledge in obstetrical health at the close of the nineteenth century and, despite public rhetoric to the contrary, individual doctors’ tolerance of, or accommodation to, such practices. On the other hand, the local judges who tried these cases displayed much less accommodation to Mayan defendants, reflecting the pronounced Mayan and non-Mayan social and political tensions that characterized the era of the peninsula’s Caste War.

Abstract
En este artículo se analizan algunos factores que influyen en los bajos niveles de malestar psicológico entre inmigrantes mexicanos en Estados Unidos. Para ese propósito, usamos las representaciones sociales como una perspectiva teórico-metodológica, constatando que los niveles de malestar psicológico entre este colectivo son menores que entre sus coterráneos en México. Asimismo, encontramos que los inmigrantes tienen una idea general sobre la ansiedad y depresión, asignándoles una connotación negativa. Estos aspectos, aunados a los objetivos económicos de su proyecto migratorio, son algunos de los factores que explicarían los menores niveles de autoreporte de malestar psicológico en los inmigrantes mexicanos en ese país.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the roles played by the legislative, executive, and business sector in Mexico’s 2013 tax reform, drawing on original field-research findings. I examine each of these actors’ influence over the public period of congressional debate, as well as the typically invisible agenda-setting stage and the adoption of executive decrees following the legislative process. I find that Congress remains subordinated to the executive in budgetary matters and that business is more central in shaping the details of the tax bill. The tax reform achieved little, leaving the overall fiscal capacity of the Mexican State largely unchanged.

Abstract
Humberto Mariles, medallista olímpico, general brigadier y destacado miembro de la élite política, cometió un homicidio en México y fue acusado de narcotráfico en Francia. Debido al impacto social que tuvieron, el análisis de estos incidentes y sus consecuencias en el declive público de Mariles, permiten asomarse a varios temas y ser abordados desde diversos enfoques. En este artículo estudio las investigaciones policiales, el juicio y la opinión pública. En mi análisis tomo en cuenta diversos aspectos como el perfil de Mariles, sus nexos con gobernantes y otros militares, facciones al interior del ejército, tensiones entre autoridades civiles y castrenses, y el sistema penal y críticas a la justicia. Asimismo, considero la importancia de ideas y valores, entre ellos el honor, que emergieron en los tribunales y en la prensa y que impactaron en el desenlace de estos incidentes.

Abstract
En su libro La escritura errante: ilegibilidad y políticas del estilo en Latinoamérica (2016), Julio Prieto no incluye ningún texto mexicano, lo cual suscita la interrogante de si esta ausencia refleja una marginalización mayor de la llamada “mala escritura” latinoamericana en unas literaturas nacionales que en otras. En este ensayo doy un primer paso para abordar esta pregunta, argumentando que México cuenta con una digna representación de dicho tipo de escritura en Cartucho (1931). En este texto, Nellie Campobello elabora su escritura errante gracias a una serie de procedimientos estilísticos que señalan las carencias del cuerpo social y que apuntan a una variada red de textos y tradiciones que podrían haber influido en ella. El análisis que propongo desemboca en algunas reflexiones acerca de la relación entre la escritura errante, la narrativa del norte de México y las normas impuestas desde el centro geográfico y cultural del país para tratar de forjar un canon literario nacional.

Abstract
Using original survey data, we analyze the factors contributing to participation and preferences in the 2018 Mexican election among the Mexican diaspora in the United States. Our empirical analysis of public-opinion data reveals that exposure to Mexican mass media is a significant predictor of voting from abroad among immigrants and US-born Mexicans. Diaspora voters’ feelings of efficacy, their assessments of Mexican democracy, and structural factors yield mixed effects on the vote from abroad and candidate preferences. The study’s design also allows for comparison of the transnational electoral preferences of Mexican emigrants and US-born dual nationals.

Abstract
Estudios previos en México argumentan que la percepción de corrupción y la percepción de eficacia predicen la insatisfacción y la falta de confianza en la policía. Este artículo extiende estos estudios previos al examinar si la percepción de corrupción policial impacta el miedo al crimen entre la población adulta. Argumentamos que –más allá de los correlativos tradicionales del miedo al crimen y controlando por la intensidad de la guerra contra el crimen organizado– la evaluación de la reputación de la policía impacta la calidad de vida en la sociedad tal como lo indica el miedo al crimen. Los resultados de los modelos multinivel, basados en datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Victimización y Percepción sobre Seguridad Pública (ENVIPE, 2012–2017), confirman nuestro argumento. También hallamos que la experiencia de victimización y las incivilidades en la colonia son los principales predictores del miedo al crimen, mientras que la guerra contra el crimen organizado no mostró tener un efecto consistente.

Abstract
This article looks at civil society in 1950s Mexico. To do so, it examines the popular responses to the murder of a local taxi driver, Juan Cereceres. It argues that both newspapers and civil-society organizations took the murder seriously, interrogated government findings, attempted to discover the real culprits, and sought a degree of justice. In all, the story asks historians to reassess both the extent and the force of civil society under the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI).

Abstract
This essay analyzes citizenship in Latin America, providing both comparative context and a schema for the phenomenon in Mexico. It identifies a region-wide “century of citizenship” that ran from the rise of liberal regimes in the 1850s to the eclipse of populist government in the 1960s, using concepts from historical sociology to discuss the common outlines of citizenship and the extent to which they apply or fail to apply to Mexican history. Key among those outlines are the prevalence of the ideas and practices of citizenship, both inside and outside of the state’s formal structures, and the spaces and places where those ideas and practices are developed and perpetuated. It concludes with the exploratory typology of the “four B s,” the processes through which historical actors build, form boundaries, bicker over, and break citizenship.
