| Abstract | "The book examines how the concepts of equality and revolution changed over time in Mexico and acquired new significance in the midst of indigenous rebellions and transnational economic, political, and cultural exchanges. Using a variety of sources, including plays, newspaper articles, maps, and legal documents, it traces how race-based events were presented as the single most-important threat to a fragile state recently separated from the Spanish Empire, with this race-based narrative used as a form of control both within Mexico and in dealings with foreign authorities in the Caribbean"-- Provided by publisher. |
