Rethinking Mexican Indigenismo

Mexico's National Indigenist Institute was at the vanguard of hemispheric indigenismo from 1951 to the mid-‘70s, thanks to the development projects that were first introduced at its pilot Tseltal-Tsotsil Coordinating Center in Chiapas. This book traces how indigenista innovation gave way to stagnation as local opposition, shifting national priorities, and waning financial support took their toll.

Institutul National Indigenist din Mexic a fost in avangarda indigenismului emisferic din 1951 pana la mijlocul anilor '70, gratie proiectelor de dezvoltare care au fost introduse pentru prima data la Centrul sau de coordonare pilot Tseltal-Tsotsil din Chiapas. Aceasta carte urmareste modul in care inovatia indigenista a dat loc stagnarii, pe masura ce opozitia locala, schimbarea prioritatilor nationale si diminuarea sprijinului financiar au avut un efect negativ.
