Rural Unrest and Political Control: the Destruction of the Central Campesina Independiente, 1962-1967
One of the great ironies of Mexican economic and political development under the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) was that the party's grip on power depended to an alarming degree on its retaining the support of the rural poor, who benefited the least from the PRI's policies. During the 1960s, several developments combined to threaten the PRI's political dominance of the countryside, and the PRI lived in mortal dread that a viable, autonomous campesino movement might arise to challenge its own rural sector, the sclerotic Confederación Nacional Campesina (CNC). In 1962, Mexican communists founded what looked to be just such a movement, labeling it the Central Campesina Independiente (CCI). The PRI took the threat from the CCI seriously enough to deploy hardball tactics to ensure its destruction. This paper examines the PRI's tactics in eliminating any threat the CCI may have posed.

Slavery, Race, and Conquest in the Tropics: Lincoln, Douglas, and the Future of Latin America
[...]Robert May's principal focus is U.S. domestic politics, while Latin America appears largely as a figment of the imaginations of proslavery southerners and aspiring colonizers of free blacks. May has staked out territory as a leading authority on the peculiar character of antebellum American imperialism, an imperialism that refused to credit the peoples of Latin America with the slightest agency and assumed that white Anglo Americans could overwhelm them without effort and consequences.

Tandem zinc-carbenoid mediated chain extension-aldol chemistry of β-carbonyl imides
Synthetic sequences to prepare γ-methoxy β-keto imides and malonyl diimides were investigated in an effort to expand the scope of the tandem zinc-mediated chain extension aldol reaction. The chain extension-aldol reaction of the γ-methoxy β-keto imide proceded smoothly, although low stereoselectivity of the reaction was observed. The chain extension of malonyl diimides were slow when compared to traditional substrates. The chain extension-aldol reaction of malonyl diimides provided γ-lactones with moderate yield and selectivity in a one-pot reaction sequence. Due to the extended chain extension reaction times, reduction of aldehydes was observed during attempted aldol reactions. A chain extension aldol protocol, specific for the application to malonyl diimides, was developed to reduce the appearance of products resulting from the reduction of the respective aldehyde.
