Rethinking Mexican Indigenismo - Stephen E. Lewis - Bog

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.
