Resumen

En las últimas décadas, la historia de la alimentación y el alcohol han acaparado la atención académica y han demostrado su potencial como vías privilegiadas para reflexionar sobre amplias cuestiones históricas. Centrándose en las bebidas fermentadas y destiladas, esta colección de estimulantes ensayos pretende precisamente utilizar "el alcohol como medio para comprender temas más amplios dentro de la historia latinoamericana, como la identidad, los vínculos étnicos y comunales, la raza, la clase, el género, las relaciones de poder, la construcción del Estado y la resistencia" (p. 9). Los editores, ambos expertos en la historia del alcohol en México, también pretendían recopilar escritos que cubrieran un amplio espectro regional y temporal. El volumen está organizado cronológicamente y se divide en tres partes, que abarcan respectivamente los periodos prehispánico y colonial, el largo siglo XIX, y los siglos XX y XXI. La introducción presenta un panorama historiográfico bien desarrollado de este tema, incluida la historia de las drogas.
