description In the twentieth century, cattle-ranching and the development of the petro-chemical industry placed new demands on land, labour and local authority. A detailed history of the region provides the background from which the authors address key issues in Nahua society: power, wealth and land tenure; the political, economic and social consequences of ranching and oil development; the clash between the demands of capitalism and a balanced ecology; kinship and mythology. [...]the manipulation of a shared ethnic identity to legitimise a cacique's authority is observed in Paul Friedrich's study of Primo Tapia (Agrarian Revolt in a Mexican Village, Chicago, 1977), and Frans Schyer's portrayal of Juvenicio Nochebuena (Ethnicity and Class Conflict in Rural Mexico, Princeton, 1990).
