Mexico: The Crisis of Identity.
Ewen, Alexander
Akwe:kon Journal, v11 n2 p28-40 Sum 1994
Examines the place of Indian people in Mexican society and politics, from the conquest to the 1994 Zapatista uprising in Chiapas (fueled by the threat to rural indigenous communal lands posed by economic reforms). Although Indianness is celebrated as contributing to the idealized mestizo "race," self-identification as Indian threatens both this ideal and Indian-campesino political unity. (SV)
