University Of Texas Press: Staying Sober In Mexico City Brief description of a book by anthropologist Stanley Brandes studies the growth of Alcoholics Anonymous in mexico and how it has adapted to the culture. http://www.utexas.edu/utpress/books/brasta.html
Extractions: "This is an impeccably crafted work by one of the most widely respected anthropologists of his generation.... I am quite confident that it will become not only the standard reference on the cultural study of alcoholism in Mexico, but also one of the very best overall social science contributions to the study of Mexican culture produced in the last fifty years." Staying sober is a daily struggle for many men living in Mexico City, one of the world's largest, grittiest urban centers. In this engaging study, Stanley Brandes focuses on a common therapeutic response to alcoholism, Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.), which boasts an enormous following throughout Mexico and much of Latin America. Over several years, Brandes observed and participated in an all-men's chapter of A.A. located in a working class district of Mexico City. Employing richly textured ethnography, he analyzes the group's social dynamics, therapeutic effectiveness, and ritual and spiritual life. Brandes demonstrates how recovering alcoholics in Mexico redefine gender roles in order to preserve masculine identity. He also explains how an organization rooted historically in evangelical Protestantism has been able to flourish in Roman Catholic Latin America. Stanley Brandes is Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley.

Study Abroad, Puebla Program for Mexican culture and Society in Puebla Beginning in thefall of 2004, Oberlin College, Smith College, Wellesley College http://www.wellesley.edu/Spanish/Puebla/
Extractions: Program for Mexican Culture and Society in Puebla A distinction of PMCSP will be direct matriculation in regular Mexican university courses. Students will build an individually tailored curriculum in collaboration with a home-campus advisor and an on-site resident director (a faculty member of one of the consortium institutions). Offerings at the BUAP are extensive and particularly strong in the humanities (art; history; performing arts, including dance, music, and theatre; philosophy; language and literature) and the social sciences (anthropology; economics; political science; psychology; sociology). Applicants are encouraged to visit the BUAP Web site at www.buap.mx and review curricula, resources, and services. Given that a complete immersion experience will require both linguistic and academic support, supplemental tutoring in both language and subject matter will be available. Participants will enjoy access to BUAP sports facilities and other student services (including the university hospital and health clinic). Students will normally reside with a Mexican family and will be furnished with three meals per day for the duration of the program.
