Summary:

"The Bajio Revolution offers a historical analysis of global capitalism that departs from the specific case study of New Spain and the Bajio region in Mexico, known as the cradle of resistance against the Spanish empire. John Tutino examines the local and international forces that shaped relationships to labor, the production and trade of silver, and nation-building in this region from the mid-18th to the late 19th century. Tutino connects the invisibilized narratives of people whose dreams and resistance reverberated through the Asian trade systems, the industrial markets in England and New England, and slavery in the US South. He argues for histories that intentionally attend to the everyday experiences of people linked through global capitalism's regimes of power. Tutino demonstrates that understanding and reconstructing the history of the BajiIo revolution is imperative to understanding legitimate modes of power that shape the contemporary moment"-- Provided by publisher.
