Focusing on the lives of two revolutionary leaders, Salvador Alvarado and Felipe Carrillo Puerto, this book shows how the Mexican Revolution affected the State of Yucatan, a region that had boasted of its independence from Mexico City and where a dominant social minority had long refused meaningful change for the indigenous population.
