What happens to a revolutionary town after the revolution? This
apparently simple question frames "Spent Cartridges of Revolution",
an anthropological history of Namiquipa, Chihuahua, Mexico.
Officially, the revolution of 1910-20 restored control over land
and local politics to the peasantry. But Namiquipan peasants, who
fought alongside Pancho Villa, have seen little progress and
consider themselves mere "spent cartridges" of a struggle that
benefited other classes. Daniel Nugent's approach combines an
emphasis on the peasants' own perceptions of Mexican society after
the revolution with an analysis of the organization and formation
of state power. He shows that popular discontent in Chihuahua is
motivated not only by immediate economic crises but by two
centuries of struggle between the people of Northern Mexico and the
government. Nugent discusses the relations of the rural class
structure, ideology and the state, while analyzing the particular
meanings of land, the labour process and politics for Namiquipans.
Weaving long-range history, current events, and anthropological and
social theory, this book challenges previous analyses of the
Mexican revolution.
