Accordingly, religion and the popular cultures surrounding it form the lens through which Terry Rugeley focuses this cultural history of southeast Mexico from independence (1821) to the rise of the dictator Porfirio Díaz in 1876. Drawing on a wealth of previously unused archival material, Rugeley vividly reconstructs the folklore, beliefs, attitudes, and cultural practices of the Maya and Hispanic peoples of the Yucatán. In engagingly written chapters, he explores folklore and folk wisdom, urban piety, iconography, and anticlericalism. Interspersed among the chapters are detailed portraits of individual people, places, and institutions, that, with the archival evidence, offer a full and fascinating history of the outlooks, entertainments, and daily lives of the inhabitants of southeast Mexico in the nineteenth century. Rugeley also links this rich local history with larger events to show how macro changes in Mexico affected ordinary people. 606 $aPopular culture$zMexico, Southeast$y19th century 607 $aMexico, Southeast$xChurch history$y19th century 607 $aMexico, Southeast$xCivilization$y19th century 607 $aMexico, Southeast$xReligion$y19th century 607 $aMexico, Southeast$xReligious life and customs 615 0$aPopular culture 676 $a277.2/6081 700 $aRugeley$b Terry$f1956-$01475018 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783462603321 996 $aOf wonders and wise men$93689002 997 $aUNINA
