| Summary: | "As fast as men and means are furnished": protestant missions during the Porfiriato -- "La sangre está clamando justicia": constructing martyrdom in postrevolutionary Oaxaca -- Contested spaces: local conflicts, conedef, and the Mexican state -- The Summer Institute of Linguistics in Oaxaca -- Liberation theology, indigenous rights, and nationalism -- "Here the people rule": customary law and state formation -- Conclusion. Reimagining communities. "In this fascinating book Kathleen M. McIntyre traces intra-village conflicts stemming from Protestant conversion in southern Mexico and successfully demonstrates that both Protestants and Catholics deployed cultural identity as self-defense in clashes over local power and authority. McIntyre's study approaches religious competition through an examination of disputes over tequio (collective work projects) and cargo (civil-religious hierarchy) participation. By framing her study between the Mexican Revolution of 1910 and the Zapatista uprising of 1994, she demonstrates the ways Protestant conversion fueled regional and national discussions over the state's conceptualization of indigenous citizenship and the parameters of local autonomy.
