Description

Evelyn Hu-DeHart brings into focal point the Yaqui within the nineteenth century, as the newly independent Mexico lurched through immense economic and governmental transformations, wars, insurgencies, and changing political alliances. This history includes Yaqui efforts to establish a native republic independent of Mexico, their resistance against government efforts to reduce their communal land to individual holdings, the value in their labor to mining and agricultural companies in northwest Mexico, their a number of revolts and guerrilla actions, the massive deportation of Yaquis from Sonora to Yucatán, the flight of a few Yaquis around the U.S. border to Arizona, and their role within the 1910 Mexican Revolution.
            On this revised edition of her groundbreaking work, Hu-DeHart reviews and reflects at the growth in scholarship in regards to the Yaqui, including advances in theoretical frameworks and methodologies on borderlands, transnationalism, diaspora, and collective memory which can be especially relevant to their history.
