The Caste War of Yucatán: Revised Edition - Hardcover

Reviews of the First Edition"Reed has not only written a fine account of the caste war, he has also given us the first penetrating analysis of the social and economic systems of Yucatan in the 19th and 20th centuries." -- American Historical Review "All academic and many public libraries have copies of Reed's 1964 classic in Latin American History, a masterfully narrated study of one of the longest and most successful of Indian rebellions. . . . Now, he has revised his book, and in over 100 additional pages incorporated the most important of the new research. . . . This updated edition of Reed's history will remain an essential and widely read overview of a fascinating chapter in New World history. All levels and collections." -- Choice "In this beautifully written history of a little-known struggle between several contending forces in Yucatan, Reed has added an important dimension to anthropological studies in this area." -- American Anthropologist "One of the most remarkable books about Latin America to appear in years." -- Hispanic American Report "Exciting history as compelling and dramatic as the best of historical fiction. . . . Don't miss this book." -- Los Angeles Times

This is the classic account of one of the most dramatic episodes in Mexican history-the revolt of the Maya Indians of Yucatán against their white and mestizo oppressors that began in 1847.
