"Social history that challenges earlier views of the Caste War. Examines the development of the social, political, and economic structure of the Yucatán during the first half of the 19th century and profiles four towns involved in the Caste War. Emphasizes the eroding status of Maya elites as a key to the revolt"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
