The Ecology of Oil: Environment, Labor, and the Mexican Revolution, 1900-1938 (Studies in Environment and History) Год выпуска: 2006Автор: Myrna I. SantiagoИздательство: Страниц: 432ISBN: 0521863244Описание An exploration of the social and environmental consequences of oil extraction in the tropical rainforest. Using northern Veracruz as a case study, the author argues that oil production generated major historical and environmental transformations in land tenure systems and uses, and social organization. Such changes, furthermore, entailed effects, including the marginalization of indigenes, environmental destruction, and tense labor relations. In the context of the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920), however, the results of oil development did not go unchallenged. Mexican oil workers responded to their experience by forging a politicized culture and a radical left militancy that turned 'oil country' into one of the most significant sites of class conflict in revolutionary Mexico. Ultimately, the book argues, Mexican oil workers deserve their share of credit for the 1938 decree nationalizing the foreign oil industry - heretofore reserved for President Lazaro Cardenas - and thus changing...

Павел (При заказе следующей работы), 04.04 Мой преподаватель, с которым я работаю уже несколько лет - под его руководством я писал дипломную работу, в прошлый раз, когда вы давали мне курсовик по Инновационному менеджменту, был удивлён и крайне смущен моей работой. Он сказал, что она очень грамотно составлена и вообще выполнена на высоком уровне. Он высказал своё сомнение в том, что я делал её самостоятельно. Я наврал, что составил данную работу из нескольких кусков, найденных в интернете. :) Он поставил мне пятёрку, конечно, но по его поведению было видно, что делает он это не с чистой совестью, так что мне не хотелось бы излишне смущать своего преподавателя ещё раз :)
