"Mexico underwent extraordinary changes as it fought Spain to become an independent nation, yet we know relatively little about how subaltern peoples experienced and responded to independence. Writing with a double focus on the urban, mestizo population of the city of Oaxaca and on the largely native and rural population of Villa Alta, Peter Guardino explores how urban mestizos and indigenous peasants responded to and engaged in the emerging political world of nineteenth-century nationalism. Mining a rich array of sources, Guardino provides a fine-grained picture of these momentous years."--BOOK JACKET.
