Warm greeting

I would like to know before to nothing the name of the professor, for suddenly knows if from Colombia, could collaborate somehow looking for some sign to you here of his contributions in my country. Or if what you want is information, of like making a biography. It pardons is not that you this accusing of not knowing like doing it, is that suddenly your message in pagina HUD is not very clear.

Cordial saludo

Me gustaría saber antes que nada el nombre del profesor, para sabe si de pronto desde Colombia, te podría colaborar buscando de alguna manera algún rastro de sus aportes aquí en mi país. O si lo que quieres es información, de como hacer una biografía. Perdona no es que te este acusando de no saber como hacerlo, es que de pronto no es muy claro tu mensaje en la pagina HAD.

2. IH. Chiapas 3

(29/3/01)


To those interested in Chiapas,

I wrote a book which was published in 1996 by Syracuse U. Press called Beyond Eurocentrism in which I presented a theory of modern Mexican history as comparable to that of Italy, that is of having a hegemony of the North over the South, of making the South into folklore in order to better exploit its lower class a la Gramsci's essay on the Southern Question. I think the uprising by "Indians" in Chiapas fits in this type of approach to explanation quite well.

Regrettably, to this point I never managed to get the book reviewed in spanish or Portuguese or to have the argument tried out in Mexico. Apparently most writers think, the world is apparently now entirely international, and that globalism does not have national roots or social dynamics. Gramsci's theories of hegemony are therefore out of date. I don't agree. I still would like to test the utility of the approach.

yours,

Peter Gran
