Soldiers, Saints, and Shamans: Indigenous Communities and the Revolutionary State in Mexico's Gran Nayar, 1910-1940

Meer over het boek

"Soldiers, Saints, and Shamans documents how and why the Indigenous Náayari, Wixárika, O'dam, and Mexicanero peoples took part in the Mexican Revolution, as they struggled to preserve their cultures, lands, and political autonomy in the face of civil war, bandit raids, and radical political reform. In unpicking the ambiguities that characterize their participation in this tumultuous period, it sheds light on the inner contradictions of the Revolution itself"-- Provided by publisher
