Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Mexican Revolution gave rise to the Mexican nationstate as we know it today. Rural revolutionaries took up arms against the Daz dictatorship in support of agrarian reform, in defense of their political autonomy, or inspired by a nationalist desire to forge a new Mexico. However, in the Gran Nayar, a rugged expanse of mountains and canyons, the story was more complex, as the regions four Indigenous peoples fought both for and against the revolution and the radical changes it bought to their homeland.To make sense of this complex history, Nathaniel Morris offers the first systematic understanding of the participation of the Nayari, Wixrika, Odam, and Mexicanero peoples in the Mexican Revolution. They are known for being among the least assimilated of all Mexicos Indigenous peoples. Its often been assumed that they were stuck up in their mountain homelandthe Gran Nayarwith no knowledge of the uprisings, civil wars, military coups, and political upheaval that convulsed the rest of Mexico between 1910 and 1940.Based on extensive archival research and years of fieldwork in the rugged and remote Gran Nayar, Morris shows that the Nayari, Wixrika, Odam, and Mexicanero peoples were actively involved in the armed phase of the revolution. This participation led to serious clashes between an expansionist, rationalist revolutionary state and the highly autonomous communities and heterodox cultural and religious practices of the Gran Nayars inhabitants. Morris documents confrontations between practitioners of subsistence agriculture and promoters of capitalist development, between rival Indian generations and political factions, and between opposing visions of the world, of religion, and of daily life. These clashes produced some of the most severe defeats that the governments statebuilding programs suffered during the entire revolutionary era, with significant and often counterintuitive consequences both for local people and for the Mexican nation as a whole.
