Resumen
An ancient practice established in Europe, particularly within mediterranean Catholicism, was transfered into the New World and resulted in the election, by the people in villages, towns and cities, of patron saints destined to the protection from natural cataclysms and epidemies. This practice, particularly frequent in Italy, was documented as well in Spain, where it competes with the solicitousness to virgins in outer sanctuaries. It can also be found in Mexico, though it was more powerful in smaller towns than in major cities. Furthermore, it appears to have been fastly subjected to the new pious practices imposed by the Baroque Church during the 17th and first half of the 18th centuries.In this article, the author intends to establish the importance and the role of these elections in New Spain through the examples of some villages and cities in Central Mexico (Mexico City, Puebla, Valladolid, Atlixco, etc.). The transformations successfully imposed by the Church of the so called “Counter-Reformation” are also analyzed.

Resumen
This article offers a detailed study of the parties given to Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna in his native city of Xalapa, within an analytical frame that takes into account: 1) A typology of Hispanoamerican leadership in the first half of the 19th century, and 2) From and anthropological perspective, the importance such parties had in order to maintain the leaders in the power. The article focuses on the people's ready disposition to encourage and celebrate powerful leaders as Santa Anna within a context of breakdown and agitation, such as that of 1808. It also shows the ways by which leaders were able to keep their privileged positions, and highlights the political and cultural reverberations of the ritual. The study of the multiple Santanic parties celebrated in Xalapa depicts how Santa Anna was able to become, in his native town and in the light of his countrymen, the nation's saviour.

Resumen
The colonizing efforts of some groups of Boer exiled from Southafrica in Chihuahua and the American southwest, a few years after the second anglo-boer war from 1899 to 1902, are analysed in this article. The study focuses, mainly, on the circumstances that originated this proyect and the reasons for the nonefulfillment of the colony settled in Chihuahua, which provoked the dissemination of most of the settlers into other regions. On a comparative basis, two more proyects are analysed: the establishment of foreign Mormon and Mennonite settlers, who shared some of the Boer migrant characteristics, in Mexico.
