The Ancient Maya Marketplace
Indigenous Passages to Cuba, 1515-1900
Cuba: music scene, cane field, floating slave barrack, tourist hangout . . . and gulag. In Indigenous Passages to Cuba, Jason Yaremko calls our attention to the fact that almost from the moment of contact the island of Cuba became a destination for autochthonous peoples from all over Spain's far-flung American empire. Yaremko's story will ring true to most students of history, since everyone from the ancient Assyrians to Joseph Stalin has moved a…
Edward Wright-Rios. Searching for Madre Matiana
Gone are the days when historians could sum up the Mexican past by measuring the profitability of haciendas or tracing dependency on a foreign economy. Cultural depth now commands attention, and the benefits of that approach emerge with singular force in Edward Wright-Rios’s new study of a legendary doomsayer and her long evolution in the world of words. The author spills the beans in the introduction, so I do not see any problem in doing the sam…

The River People in Flood Time
The River People in Flood Time
“The River People in Flood Time” tells the story of how the people of nineteenth-century Tabasco, Mexico, overcame impossible odds to expel one foreign intervention after another. Tabascans resisted control by Mexico City, overcame the grip of a Cuban adventurer who seized control of the region for two years, turned back the United States Navy, and defeated the French Intervention of the early 1860s, thus remaining free territory while the rest o…

Developing Zapatista Autonomy
Yucatán through Her Eyes
Pioneering archaeologists have often made mistakes as great as their contributions. Yucatán through Her Eyes offers the case in point of Alice Dixon Le Plongeon (b. 1851), who worked side by side with her more famous husband Augustus as they carried out archaeological and photographic explorations of places such as Chichén Itzá and Uxmal. The book sandwiches her diary of adventures in Yucatán (1873–76) between more conventional biographies of her…

Rebellion Now and Forever
"This book explores the origins, process, and consequences of forty years of nearly continual political violence in southeast Mexico. Rather than recounting the well-worn narrative of the Caste War, it focuses instead on how four decades of violence helped shape social and political institutions of the Mexican southeast. Rebellion Now and Forever looks at Yucatan's famous Caste War from the perspective of the vast majority of Hispanics and Maya p…

Native Insurgencies and the Genocidal Impulse in the Americas
An old adage warns that those who live by the sword also perish by it. Nicholas Robins takes these words to heart in his new comparative study of indigenous rebellions in the Spanish colonial and postcolonial world. He compares New Mexico’s Pueblo Revolt of 1680, the great Andean rebellions of the early 1780s, and the Caste War of Yucatán that began in 1847. He argues that Hispanic genocide, or at least ethnocide, provoked violent recoils. These …

Unconquered Lacandon Maya
Rural Political Violence and the Origins of the Caste War
Between 1840 and 1847 the Mexican province of Yucatán witnessed a remarkable explosion of rural political violence. Contemporaries were well aware of the trend, for they referred to it through vivid phrases such as “uprisings,” “murder and other excesses,” “restless and turbulent spirits,” and “the storm which threatens us close at hand.” And by all accounts these episodes were something new to the society. Indeed, Yucatán had suffered a good dea…

Yucatán's Maya Peasantry and the Origins of the Caste War
Summer of Discontent, Seasons of Upheaval
Of Wonders and Wise Men
In the tumultuous decades following Mexico's independence from Spain, religion provided a unifying force among the Mexican people, who otherwise varied greatly in ethnicity and socioeconomic status. Accordingly, religion and the popular cultures surrounding it form the lens through which Terry Rugeley focuses this cultural history of southeast Mexico from independence (1821) to the rise of the dictator Porfirio Díaz in 1876. Drawing on a wealth o…
Indians Meet the State, Regions Meet the Center
In love affairs, three is a crowd. But in mediation, three is the natural order of things, a truth as valid for historians as for lobbyists and diplomats. Older Mexican history often followed the definitions laid down by such visibly opposed entities as state and peasantry, Hispanics and Indians, or center and periphery. Increasingly, however, this paradigm of confrontation seems to be yielding to one of negotiation and compromise. To ply a diffe…

The Forgotten Liberator
Yucatán's overthrow of the French-sponsored Empire (1864-1867) began under the leadership of a man named Buenaventura Martínez, a now-forgotten landowner and militia officer from the town of Baca. A detailed reconstruction of Martínez's life reveals three points. First, his rebellion arose not at the command of national political figures, but instead over local issues and under local leadership. Martínez belonged to a family of small- to moderate…
Maya Survivalism
Those interested in the Maya region and peoples will find much to ponder in Maya Survivalism, a collection of 24 essays spun out of an international congress held in Warsaw in the summer of 2000. This volume showcases current research on the Maya-speaking areas of Mexico and Guatemala, but also points to numerous issues for further exploration. Maya Survivalism is divided into five parts: a review of Maya ethnicity and its genesis, the colonial e…

Clerical Ideology in a Revolutionary Age
Brian Connoughton’s study of contending ideologies captures Mexico’s nineteenth-century church precisely where scholars are accustomed to finding it: on the defensive. Drawing upon sermons and pamphlets from 1788 through 1853, the author attempts to restore the church to centrality in the evolution of national ideas. Clerical Ideology is actually a translation of a book published 11 years ago in Mexico, but its insistence on the intellectual vita…
