About
Dr. James Mestaz is an Assistant Professor of Latin American History at SSU. His courses focus largely on the histories of marginalized groups, allowing students to draw connections between past and current social and environmental justice struggles. This approach fits into his commitment to linking students to grassroots and community organizations in both the U.S. and Latin America. His recently published book "Strength from the Waters: A History of Indigenous Mobilization in Northwest Mexico" is an Environmental and Ethnohistory that interrogates the historic connection between humans and water through the lens of the Mayo people of Sinaloa.
