In the context of the 1994 armed rebellion by Indian communities in Chiapas, the book explores the cultural legacy of the 1910 Mexican Revolution, particularly its educational initiatives during the 1930s. Mary Kay Vaughan analyzes how rural schools became sites of negotiation over power, culture, and identity, highlighting the interplay between state policies and local identities. Through extensive research and interviews, she reveals that the true cultural revolution stemmed from the dialogue between the government and rural societies, shaping Mexico's multi-ethnic nationalism and social justice efforts.
