This excellent volume of work by Mexican and American scholars, mostly historians and anthropologists, underscores the persistence of an active Mexican peasantry. Thirteen essays examine topics including the history and historiography of peasant movements during the Mexican Revolution and the era of Cardenismo, filmic depictions of campesinos, the influence of female indigenous peasants on rural activism, transnational campesino experiences and effects, and contemporary peasant resistance to globalization, particularly through a defense of independent agrarian practices.
