Intimate Enemies

Landowners, Power, and Violence in Chiapas

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Whether we knew it or not, "Intimate Enemies" is the book that we have been waiting for since at least 1994: the book about the other side of Chiapas's rural society, its "ladino" landowners. Gracefully written, evocative, and wise, it is just superb."--Jan Rus, coeditor of "Mayan Lives, Mayan Utopias: The Indigenous Peoples of Chiapas and the Zapatista Rebellion"
