Indigenous Autocracy: Power, Race, and Resources in Porfirian Tlaxcala, Mexico b

Description: Indigenous Autocracy by Jaclyn Sumner Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description When General Porfirio Diaz assumed power in 1876, he ushered in Mexicos first prolonged period of political stability and national economic growth-though "progress" came at the cost of democracy. Indigenous Autocracy presents a new story about how regional actors negotiated between national authoritarian rule and local circumstances by explaining how an Indigenous person held state-level power in Mexico during the thirty-five-year dictatorship that preceded the Mexican Revolution (the Porfiriato), and the apogee of scientific racism across Latin America. Although he was one of few recognizably Indigenous persons in office, Prospero Cahuantzi of Tlaxcala kept his position (1885-1911) longer than any other gubernatorial appointee under Porfirio Diazs transformative but highly oppressive dictatorship (1876-1911). Cahuantzi leveraged his identity and his regions Indigenous heritage to ingratiate himself to Diaz and other nation-building elites. Locally, Cahuantzi navigated between national directives aimed at modernizing Mexico, often at the expense of the impoverished rural majority, and strategic management of Tlaxcalas natural resources-in particular, balancing growing industrial demand for water with the needs of the local population. Jaclyn Ann Sumner shows how this intermediary actor brokered national expectations and local conditions to maintain state power, challenging the idea that governors during the Porfirian dictatorship were little more than provincial stewards who repressed dissent. Drawing upon documentation from more than a dozen Mexican archives, the book brings Porfirian-era Mexico into critical conversations about race and environmental politics in Latin America.
