Books by Colby Ristow

In October 1911 the governor of Oaxaca, Mexico, ordered a detachment of soldiers to take control of the town of Juchitan from a movement defending the principle of popular sovereignty. Colby Ristow provides the first book-length study of what has come to be known as the Chegomista Rebellion, shedding new light on a conflict previously lost in the shadows of the concurrent Zapatista uprising.
