Riot and Rebellion in Mexico

The Making of a Race War Paradigm

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book establishes race-making as a central instrument for the repression of social upheaval in nineteenth-century Mexico rather than a relic of the colonial-era caste system. Riot and Rebellion in Mexico traces this race-based narrative through three historical flashpoints: the Bajà o riots, the Haitian Revolution, and the Yucatanâ s caste war.
