This work aims to analyze the level of access to public credit of small corn producers in the lake regions of Chapala, Pátzcuaro, and Cuitzeo in the state of Michoacán, within the framework of the neoliberal financial policy adopted in the years 1981-2022 compared to the post-revolutionary period. This productive sector is mainly characterized by having low economic income, little land area, and lack of equipment and machinery, and not being subject to credit, therefore, the members of this sector share the condition of exclusion from financing for production. The methodology used consisted of collecting historical information regarding the operation of public rural financial institutions created in the post-revolutionary period and the neoliberal transition that they experienced in the eighties. Also in obtaining data through the application of 611 surveys to identify some elements that explain the current exclusion from public credit of small corn producers in the lake regions of Michoacán. The results reveal that this productive sector has a low level of access due to the changes in public credit policy promoted by federal governments since the 1990s. These caused radical institutional modifications in the way agricultural credit operates and contributed to the current limited availability of public credit aimed at small corn producers.

In this text, an analysis of the agricultural structure that was formed in the Yurirapúndaro area (Yuriria, Guanajuato) at the end of the 16th century is carried out, based on research made in recent years. To do this, a detailed study of the Map of Yurirapúndaro and its Subjects (1580) was carried out, belonging to the corpus of the Geographical Relations of 1577, as well as other archival documentation that provides information at a more local level. Through Environmental History and the reconstruction of the landscape, the aim is to interpret what is represented on the map, contextualizing it in the general process of hierarchization and exploitation of space in the north of the viceroyalty of New Spain. This work offers a map with all the information collected and organized from a historical GIS, the identification of plant and animal taxa, as well as the identification and contextualization of the human activities represented in the document.

Due to the fact that still no absolute chronological data are available to estimate the chronology of the Ihuatzio archaeological site, we carried out an archaeomagnetic and magnetic mineralogy study on two fragments of its most common pottery. The first analyzed sample be longs to the "Uacusecha polychrome" type, while the second corresponds to the "Tariacuri red" style. The main magnetic carrier is linked to magnetites or titanomagnetites poor in titanium. We note the presence of hematite, but its contribution to the remanent magnetization is insignificant. We obtained eight reliable determinations of absolute intensities, ranging from 36.8 to 61.03 mT. The most probable dating was achieved with the global models and local curves available for Mesoamerica by using the bootstrap statistics. Even with the limitation of using only one geomagnetic element (absolute intensity) and divergent dating patterns, it has been possible to relate the chronology of the studied pottery with the apogee of the Tarascan Lordship and the dominant position of Ihuatzio along the Lake Patzcuaro area.

This article analyzes a corpus of six texts written and published under the "publishing house" of two criminal organizations in Michoacan, Mexico, including a press release, an autobiography, a code of conduct, a journalist narrative, an advertising text and a motivational text, focused on the search of political legitimacy by criminal organizations. This article argues that, in spite of the heterogeneity in narrative styles, this corpus has a single political message: a discourse of legitimacy linked to a project to build criminal authority. Firstly, the idea of legitimacy and criminal authority is analyzed, then the context of legitimacy crisis and authority experienced in Michoacan and Mexico is addressed; next, each text, its characteristics and purposes are analyzed. Finally, the results are discussed and some ideas are considered as a conclusion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this work is identify the factors that hinder access to higher education institutions for indigenous youth in Michoacán. To achieve this, we do a documentary analysis with a hermeneutic approach focused on the treatment of information available on official government sites, as well as in specialized texts on the subject. The attention and coverage of higher level educational services is recently included in the mandatory schooling scheme of the Mexican State (May 2019), contained in X section of the 3rd article of the Constitution, but it remains at the discretion of the authorities to ensure access and permanence, an issue that remains unaddressed in the political agendas of state and local governments, which undermines the right to education of the indigenous people of Michoacán.

Recording species in new localities far from their typical distribution ranges provides evidence of atypical movements and migrations caused by several poorly understood factors. Hence, their documentation contributes to understanding these movements. In Mexico, the White-eyed Vireo, Vireo griseus, is mainly distributed on the Gulf slope, either as a resident or migratory, and records on the Pacific slope are rare. In February 2022, we recorded an individual in the La Mintzita wetland near Morelia, Michoacán. The solitary individual was foraging and constantly moving among dense understory, about 10 m away from the wetland. This observation represents the first formal report of the White-eyed Vireo in Michoacán. This report provides information on the distribution and movements of this species and highlights the ecological value of the La Mintzita wetland for resident and migratory birds.

This article aims to delve into copper mining in Michoacan at the end of the 18th century, attempting to identify the mines scattered throughout this region which have been scarcely touched by historians. After a sketch of colonial policies of intervention in this sector, we aim first to locate the mines and producers, and their relations with local and regional markets. After 1780 the Crown established a monopoly on New Spanish copper to attempt to control the production and the price. We will aim to evaluate the efficacy and the effects of this monopoly on the producers of copper and on the market in New Spain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this article is to analyse the judicial proceedings in cases of statutory rape and sexual offenses against women in rural Michoacan in the 18th century. The documentation used for the study comes from the Justice Collection of the Historical Archive of the Municipality of Morelia. We will study the information provided by the procedural records, the statements of the witnesses, the forensic tests and the judge's sentences that were dictated under the viceroyalty laws for this type of crimes. The data provided by these extraordinarily rich sources allow us to make an intersectional reading to compose a genealogy of sexual violence in New Spain, gender, and alterity.

Although Ihuatzio has been one of the most important pre-Hispanic cities in western Mexico, until now, there was no complete map of the Tarascan city. In this sense, through field work and a study based on the LiDAR technique, a complete plan of Ihuatzio is presented for the first time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The sources to document the practice of medicine in the 17th century in Michoacán, Mexico are scarce. This article integrates the information that has been found, in which it can be known that the foundation and maintenance of hospitals was sponsored by the Catholic Church, monastic orders and brotherhoods. Also, in those years the population received care from doctors with academic training, as well as from traditional medicine practitioners, and both were accepted by the social groups. There is a record that, in the 17th century, in the bishopric of Michoacán, there were 254 hospitals distributed in 90 districts, with a rate of 2.82 hospitals per parish. The architectural typology of these hospitals came from Spanish Medieval formulas, which considered the hospital as a multifunctional space where health care, a nursery and a shelter for the poor were combined. Materials from the region itself were used for their construction, such as mud, wood, and stone. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 1730 the natives of San Juan Zitácuaro requested the notary of the "novohispanic" capital, a testimony of the titles of their lands, which dated their foundation in the improbable year of 1519. The document elaborated according to the characteristics of the primordial titles (Títulos Primordiales), presents characters, appeals, and facts of the past intertwined with their present. Beyond the blatant historical inaccuracies, a detailed reading of the document reveals a discursive form of political power based on its legitimate right to land and water, the demarcation of geographic space, and the interest in controlling social relations. Among their arguments were divine protection, agreements for the exercise of government, common history, the decisive intervention of ancestors, and the principle of merit. The moment in which the testimony is requested coincides with the growth of the village of Spaniards and mestizos in the head town, in addition to the intention of the subject towns to emancipate themselves. The information is relevant because it contributes to the territorial and historical recognition of eastern Michoacan peoples, in central western Mexico, where native populations currently live and propose self-determination.

In terms of security, the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador has chosen to prioritize a strategy to combat the social causes of inequality and crime rather than the use of violence through the armed forces. The analysis of the municipality of Aguililla, Michoacán, makes it possible to evaluate the impact of this strategy at the local level. That case reveals, among other things, that the factual powers in the region are still organized crime groups, which provoke incessant spirals of violence and keep the population in anxiety before authorities who are powerless.

The purpose of the article is to compare the creation of direct taxes in the states of Michoacán and Guanajuato from 1824 to 1846. Presented chronologically, it starts with national taxes and their application in the compared states to understand the process from a fiscal law perspective in the different historical moments. We focus on the changes and difficulties generated for the national and local governments. The main contribution of the article is the comparison between Michoacán and Guanajuato since the beginning of independent Mexico, as in the long-term analysis of direct taxes that were implemented with the aim of eliminating the alcabala, considered an obstacle to connect the internal market, which was, however, not possible due to internal and foreign confrontations that required resources, partially covered by direct taxes collected in an ordinary or extraordinary way. We propose that the direct taxes created in the studied decades made it possible to tax private wealth and income to broaden the imposition base and make taxes fall directly on all citizens, but it was not an important income for those states until 1870.

The purpose of this document is to identify the incidence of the Liconsa, No Hunger Card and Community Kitchens programs on food security in rural areas of Morelia, Michoacán. Based on the survey of the beneficiary population, focus group analysis and interviews with key agents. The results show that the influence of programs in food security has been low. This demonstrates that the solution to the problem of feeding is not with assistance programs but with public policies, that promoting community participation, reduce poverty and unemployment.

This article focuses attention on problems in the application of the Law of Territorial Division of the State of Michoacán (in force since 1909) by analyzing a specific situation it is currently facing; namely, the existence of a municipality created legally by the faculties of the state congressmen of the LXVIII Legislature in Michoacán. It seems that the inhabitants of the community of El Caracol in the municipality of Ciudad Hidalgo never found out that in 1941 Congress gave them municipal sovereignty and assigned them a territorial jurisdiction. More than seven decades have passed and the mistakes made at that time have probably not been corrected. For this reason, unlike what the state's official cartography shows, Michoacán has 114 municipalities, not the 113 indicated there. The present study is based fundamentally on an analysis of the Laws of Territorial Division of Michoacán and the relation between jurisdiction and land ownership as key elements involved in the delimitation of municipalities in Mexico.

This article analyzes the process of land composition in the late 17th and 18th early centuries, and how this form of juridical legitimation and geographical organization had political and territorial impacts on Indian villages (pueblos de indios), specifically among the Mazahuas of San Mateo in the alcaldía mayor of Zitácuaro in central New Spain. To elucidate this situation we analyzed documentary sources, identified important elements of the landscape, followed the paths of the inspections (vista de ojos) effectuated by officials called 'composition judges', and retraced their cartographic georeferencing. The study reveals how their actions established historical guidelines for subsequent territorialization processes, discusses the Indians' ability to participate in and utilize the juridical system of New Spain, and examines the vitality of the documents they generated, which still exist in the archives of extant agrarian communities.

El problema de la delincuencia México obedece a causas políticas profundas que tienen que ver con un funcionamiento imperfecto de la institución política mexicana. El narcotráfico y el crimen organizado pueden explicarse como consecuencia de una complejidad institucional que impide el imperio y aplicación de la Ley. El problema de la inseguridad podrá terminar en México en la medida en que se dé una consolidación de las instituciones democráticas que garanticen un cumplimiento de los entramados jurídicos esenciales. A partir del análisis del caso del estado de Michoacán se hace hincapié en que este proceso debe darse a nivel de los gobiernos estatales y locales que son las instancias más cercanas a los ciudadanos y en donde se aprecian fallas sensibles en la creación de un ambiente armónico de convivencia social y específicamente en el funcionamiento del aparato de seguridad y administración de justicia. Los entramados institucionales que garanticen un mínimo de cumplimiento de la Ley generarían un entorno que disminuya la impunidad y la colusión de autoridades con la delincuencia. En este trabajo analizamos algunos aspectos de los entramados institucionales del gobierno estatal y municipal en Michoacán, siguiendo las líneas de la teoría de la desorganización social que atribuye la variación en el crimen y la delincuencia a través del tiempo y entre las regiones a la ausencia o colapso de las instituciones (gobierno, familia, escuela, iglesia etc.) y las relaciones comunitarias que tradicionalmente motivan las relaciones de cooperación entre las personas.

Reporting breeding sites for the Snowy Plover (Charadrius nivosus) is important, because of its threatened status in Mexico and its vulnerability to habitat modification. C. nivosus has extensive distribution in Mexico; however, only 35 breeding sites have been reported, of which nine are in the interior. It has been previously recorded in Michoacán, but no breeding has been reported. We present 110 reproductive records (chicks and juveniles) of at least 28 different individuals in Lake Cuitzeo, Michoacán (years 2013 and 2017). These are the first breeding records for the lake and the State. According to this data, Lake Cuitzeo is a relevant site for the conservation of the species in the interior of Mexico. We plan to extend surveys along the lakeshore to determine breeding success and to plan actions to reduce destruction of nesting habitat. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
