Review "In this outstanding ethnography, Campbell explores how the construction of identity and the politics of ethnicity provide the Zapotec a sense of local power and independence. Focuses on the important role of indigenous intellectuals and the movement for local rule that has long consumed the community and its population"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57. http://www.loc.gov/hlas/
