Las otras rebeliones: cultura popular e independencias
Year: 2005
Type: article
Abstract: This article comments on historiographical developments pertaing to popular participation during the Independence of Mexico and on the political culture of the period. Its point of departure is the argument advanced by Eric Van Young in his bookThe Other Rebellion (2001) and the debate sparked by its publication.The article also discusses wether or not a "cultural turn" may be said to characterize historical studies of Latin America and compares the political process in Mexico with that of the Andes.It is suggested that we need to take into account, too, the symbolic and cultural world of both Indians and commoners who participated in the political and military actions of "other rebellions", the outcome of a time of change and general crisis in colonial society.
