papers move beyond the questions of who adopts technologies to ask how preferences for characteristics (of maize in Mexico or cattle in Burkina Faso) affect adoption and how technical change differentially affects semi-subsistence farmers and how it affects productivity and yield variability.

Notes:
204 p., Examines cultural and literary material produced by Afro-Mexicans on the Costa Chica of Guerrero and Oaxaca, Mexico, to challenge the selective and Euro-centric view of Mexican identity in the discourse about racial and ethnic homogeneity and the existence of black people in the country, as well as assumptions and stereotypes about gender and sexuality.

Notes:
258 p., Explores a little known branch of the African Diaspora - Afro-Mexicans - and discusses their conditions of arrival and establishment in Mexico within the context of Spanish colonialism and the socioracial terms that are the focus of the main study: indio, blanco, nero and moreno. These terms are part of daily life in Mexico, used in variable ways as tags of social identity.
