"Historia del Petróleo en México y América Latina del siglo XX al XXI" por Amelia Kiddle
En ocasión del coloquio realizado por el Centro de Estudios Históricos y el Archivo Histórico de Pemex, bajo la coordinación del Dr. Carlos Marichal, “Historia del Petróleo en México y América Latina del siglo XX al XXI”, pedimos a cinco académicos participantes que nos refirieran brevemente algunos aspectos centrales de sus proyectos de investigación y, en particular, sobre la relevancia de estudiar hoy la historia del petróleo en México y otras naciones latinoamericanas, a partir de los archivos históricos existentes.

In Mexico's Defense
Published by Mexican Studies
2015 This article examines Mexican diplomacy in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and argues that a transnational code of honor rooted in the practice of dueling governed diplomats’ behavior. It demonstrates that, in spite of domestic reforms that exalted the incorporation of the masses and the empowerment of women in revolutionary Mexico, diplomats continued to participate in the diplomatic culture of dueling—both actual and journalistic—that feminized the nation and perpetuated patriarchy within the diplomatic corps...
Cabaretistas and Indias Bonitas: Gender and Representations of Mexico in the Americas during the Cárdenas Era

Biography
Dr. Kiddle is Associate Professor of Spanish American history and the Coordinator of the Latin American Studies Program at the University of Calgary. She specializes in the political and cultural history of Mexican foreign relations. She has published articles in the Journal of Latin American Studies and Mexican Studies/Estudios Mexicanos. Her first monograph, Mexico's Relations with Latin America during the Cárdenas Era, which is based upon her University of Arizona doctoral dissertation (winner of the 2010 Premio Genaro Estrada from the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs) has just been published by the University of New Mexico Press. As an outgrowth of this project, she developed an interest in the Mexican oil expropriation of 1938's place in inter-American affairs. She and her colleague in Mexico, Cecilia Zuleta recently published an anthology of newspaper articles from Latin America reacting to the expropriation and they have begun work on a co-authored book tentatively titled The Mexican Oil Expropriation of 1938 and the Roots of Resource Nationalism in Latin America, a project which is supported by an Insight Grant from the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
