“[A]ll [the essays] are excellent examples of their genre.” — Mark Wasserman, Journal of Interdisciplinary History

“The empirical studies in Rural Revolt in Mexico provide clear evidence and understanding of the historical roots and trajectories of peasants’ resistance despite the homogenizing effects of the current globalization process.” — Daniela Spenser, Hispanic American Historical Review

“The strength of this book lies in the careful arguments that each author makes to demonstrate the close connection between Mexican rural politics, social history, and U.S. economic and political interests. Taken together, the reader will better comprehend the forces that continue to shape local and national issues in Mexico and in the United States.” — Cheleen Mahar, Sociocultural Anthropology
