520 "Biography of a Hacienda is a many-voiced reconstruction
of events leading up to the Mexican Revolution and the
legacy that remains to the present day. Drawing on
ethnohistorical, archaeological, and ethnographic data,
Elizabeth Terese Newman creates a fascinating model of the
interplay between the great events of the Revolution and
the lives of everyday people. In 1910 the Mexican
Revolution erupted out of a century of tension surrounding
land ownership and control over labor. During the previous
century, the elite ruling classes acquired ever-
increasingly large tracts of land while peasants saw their
subsistence and community independence vanish. Rural
working conditions became so oppressive that many resorted
to armed rebellion. After the war, new efforts were made
to promote agrarian reform, and many of Mexico's rural
poor were awarded the land they had farmed for
generations. Weaving together fiction, memoir, and data
from her fieldwork, Newman reconstructs life at the
Hacienda San Miguel Acocotla, a site located near a remote
village in the Valley of Atlixco, Puebla, Mexico.
Exploring people's daily lives and how they affected the
buildup to the Revolution and subsequent agrarian reforms,
the author draws on nearly a decade of interdisciplinary
study of the Hacienda Acocotla and its descendant
community. Newman's archaeological research recovered
information about the lives of indigenous people living
and working there in the one hundred years leading up to
the Mexican Revolution. Newman shows how women were
central to starting the revolt, and she adds their voices
to the master narrative. Biography of a Hacienda concludes
with a thoughtful discussion of the contribution of the
agrarian revolution to Mexico's history and whether it has
succeeded or simply transformed rural Mexico into a new
"global hacienda system."--|cProvided by publisher.
