"Becoming Campesinos" argues that the formation of the campesino as
both a political category and a cultural identity in Mexico was one
of the most enduring legacies of the great revolutionary upheavals
that began in 1910. Challenging the assumption that rural peoples
"naturally" share a sense of cultural solidarity and political
consciousness because of their subordinate social status, the
author maintains that the particular understanding of popular-class
unity conveyed by the term "campesino" originated in the
interaction of post-revolutionary ideologies and agrarian militancy
during the 1920s and 1930s.
The book uses oral histories, archival documents, and partisan
newspapers to trace the history of one movement born of this
dynamic--"agrarismo" in the state of Michoacan. The author argues
that the interaction of grassroots militancy and political
mobilization from the top meant that the rural populace entered the
political sphere, not as indigenous people or rural proletarians,
but as a class-like social category of campesinos.
