Description: "An interesting blend of ethnography and history follows the town of Mexquitic, San Luis Potosí, through more than two centuries. Focuses on how identity is negotiated through time, and the roles played by the Church, representatives of the State, and the local population as the community is transformed from a 'Republic de los Indios' to a mestizo town"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
