Focusing on poor indigenous villages in Mexico's authoritarian regime, the book shows that the spread of US Protestant missionaries and the competition for indigenous souls motivated the Catholic Church to become a major promoter of indigenous movements for land redistribution and indigenous rights. The book explains why the outbreak of local rebellions, the transformation of indigenous claims for land into demands for ethnic autonomy and self-determination, and the threat of a generalized social uprising motivated national elites to democratize. Drawing on an original dataset of indigenous collective action and on extensive fieldwork, the empirical analysis of the book combines quantitative evidence with case studies and life histories.Cambridge studies in comparative politics.Land reformMexicoSocial movementsMexicoIndians of MexicoDemocratizationMexicoLand reformSocial movementsIndians of Mexico.Democratization333.3/172Trejo Guillermo1057275UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910461940103321Popular movements in autocracies2492433UNINA
