Mexican Social Movements and the Transition to Democracy

"This work focuses on how, in a time of generalized political change in Mexico, activists blended local, national and transnational discourses of identity and social change to produce the victory. Important symbolic and organizational networks within Tepoztlan that took part in the conflict are examined, as well as the role of global influences on the community's everyday life, and the ways in which the movement contributed to the evolution of a more democratic culture. Parallels in the more recent movement in Atenco against the construction of Mexico City's new international airport are analyzed."--Jacket.
