Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. A very detailed look at the relationship between national movements and peasant classes in Mexico and Peru. Mexico is the more interesting look as she compares the national agenda with peasant action. She goes into, at times, excruciating detail. The main gist is that peasants became part of the process while necessary, but were marginalized by the central players once the consolidated power. She also looks at local power structures and regional self-identification. It is an interesting, but often difficult to get through, analysis. Really only worth it if you are interested specifically in Mexico or Peru. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Peasant and Nation offers a major new statement on the making of national politics. Comparing the popular political cultures and discourses of postcolonial Mexico and Peru, Florencia Mallon provides a groundbreaking analysis of their effect on the evolution of these nation states. As political history from a variety of subaltern perspectives, the book takes seriously the history of peasant thought and action and the complexity of community politics. It reveals the hierarchy and the heroism, the solidarity and the surveillance, the exploitation and the reciprocity, that coexist in popular political struggle. With this book Mallon not only forges a new path for Latin American history but challenges the very concept of nationalism. Placing it squarely within the struggles for power between colonized and colonizing peoples, she argues that nationalism must be seen not as an integrated ideology that puts the interest of the nation above all other loyalties, but as a project for collective identity over which many political groups and coalitions have struggled. Ambitious and bold, Peasant and Nation both draws on monumental archival research in two countries and enters into spirited dialogue with the literatures of post-colonial studies, gender studies, and peasant studies.
