Indigenous Citizens challenges the commonly held assumption that early nineteenthcentury Mexican statebuilding was a failure of liberalism. By comparing the experiences of two Mexican states, Oaxaca and Yucatn, Caplan shows how the institutions and ideas associated with liberalism became deeply entrenched in Mexico's regions, but only on locally acceptable terms. Faced with the common challenge of incorporating new institutions into political life, Mexicansbe they indigenous villagers, government officials, or local elitesnegotiated ways to make those institutions compatible with a range of local interests. Although Oaxaca and Yucatn both had large indigenous majorities, the local liberalisms they constructed incorporated indigenous people differently as citizens. As a result, Oaxaca experienced relative social peace throughout this era, while Yucatn exploded with indigenous rebellion beginning in 1847. This book puts the interaction between local and national liberalisms at the center of the narrative of Mexico's nineteenth century. It suggests that 'liberalism' must be understood not as an overarching system imposed on the Mexican nation but rather as a set of guiding assumptions and institutions that Mexicans put to use in locally specific ways.
