Bringing together historically and ethnographically grounded
studies of the social and political life of Brazil and Mexico, this
collection of essays revitalizes resistance as an area of study.
Resistance studies boomed in the 1980s and then was subject to a
wave of critique in the 1990s. Covering the colonial period to the
present day, the case studies in this collection suggest that, even
if much of that critique was justified, resistance remains a useful
analytic rubric. The collection has three sections, each of which
is preceded by a short introduction. A section focused on religious
institutions and movements is bracketed by one featuring historical
studies from the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries and
another gathering more contemporary, ethnographically-based
studies. Introducing the collection, the anthropologist John
Gledhill traces the debates about resistance studies. In the
conclusion, Alan Knight provides a historian's perspective on the
broader implications of the contributors' findings. Contributors.
