FAMILY, MISCEGENATION AND GENEALOGY
Synopsis
This book is a collective effort to demonstrate the relevance of family history and genealogy in Mexican cultural history. While there are many discussions about cultural history, there are few lines of work, such as family history, that have transformed the history of Mexico to show a history closer to individuals and institutions, a 'decentralized' history, as Natalie Zemon Davis would propose. If anything can be affirmed after the various turns (linguistic, cultural, global, etc.) it is that the field of history has expanded and, at the same time, has generated new challenges for history in use, particularly for regional history.
After the great boom of regional history, practically every history program in the states is dedicated to it, but it is necessary to ask again if there is such a thing as regional history, as it was done a few years ago. Because although Luis González's proposal innovated the centralist and, to a large extent, positivist - or rather, "empiricist" - historiography until the 1960s, the inertia of the great nineteenth-century tradition has permeated practically all fragmented history. Hence the need to reflect on a regional history conducive to generating great advances in the recovery of information, but little in the proposal of a more comprehensive history of our past, because fragmented histories are given as part of a process, also of an empiricism that does not dare to say its name, as well as of a development in political decentralization that seems to be in crisis, but has disconnected histories in such a way that it would seem to represent each history of a state of the Republic as 'unique and unrepeatable', to use the old phrase of German historicism.
