Agrarian Revolt in a Mexican Village deals with a Tar#65533;scan Indian village in southwestern Mexico which, between 1920 and 1926, played a precedent-setting role in agrarian reform. As he describes forty years in the history of this small pueblo, Paul Friedrich raises general questions about local politics and agrarian reform that are basic to our understanding of radical change in peasant societies around the world. Of particular interest is his detailed study of the colorful, violent, and psychologically complex leader, Primo Tapia, whose biography bears on the theoretical issues of the "political middleman" and the relation between individual motivation and socioeconomic change. Friedrich's evidence includes massive interviewing, personal letters, observations as an anthropological participant (e.g., in fiesta ritual), analysis of the politics and other village culture during 1955-56, comparison with other Tar#65533;scan villages, historical and prehistoric background materials, and research in legal and government agrarian archives.… (meer)

[Preface, 1977] The past decade has seen the agrarian problems of Mexico and of the world at large become more anguished and demanding of our attention than they were when this book was first published, so that by the logic of history it has become mre rather than less relevant, younger rather than older.
[Preface] I have learned much from my father, both through his lectures and through many a conversation, and this despite clear differences about theory, political anthropology, and contemporary issues.
[Prologue] Beneath the political slogans and the social confusion of the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) there surged the peasant's urgent and implacable demand: la tierra.
