- Abstract
- The Mexican Revolution of 1910 permanently shifted the nation’s political scene, but its success is debated. My dissertation project addresses the question of how Mexico’s revolutionary promises affected the lives of one of its most marginalized populations, indigenous working women, as an efficacy test. Using a social and cultural history approach, the project develops an understanding of the daily lives of indigenous women working in the city of Oaxaca, Mexico. It moves from private homes, to work lives, and then widens to include community and elite culture influences. Sources include judicial records from the Junta de Conciliación y Arbitraje, criminal records, and civil court proceedings from the city of Oaxaca, invaluable resources for a largely illiterate study population. My dissertation further considers the role of local elites in the implementation and success of the Revolution’s promised reforms, particularly during the period of postrevolutionary political consolidation. Using case study examples, I draw conclusions regarding the dialectic nature of social change and the stability of postcolonial social and economic hierarchies, and solidarity among elites.
