This book addresses a central problem often ignored by students of
twentieth-century Mexico: the breakdown of the old order during the
first years of the revolutionary era. That process was more
contested and gradual in Yucatan than in any other Mexican region,
and this close examination of the Yucatan experience sheds light on
an issue of particular relevance to students of Central America,
South America' s southern cone, and other postcolonial societies:
the capacity of national oligarchies to " hang on" in the face of
escalating social change, the outbreak of local rebellions, and the
mobilization of multiclass coalitions.
Latin American historiography has generally failed to integrate the
study of popular movements and rebellions with examinations of the
determined efforts of elite establishments to prevent, contain,
crush, and, ultimately, ideologically appropriate such rebellions.
Most often, these problems are treated separately. This volume
seeks to redress this imbalance by probing a set of linkages that
is central to the study of Mexico' s modern past: the complex,
reciprocal relationship between modes of contestation and
structures and discourses of power.
