Book Overview

The first-person account of a Oaxacan man demonstrates that the blood feuds wracking the Mexican countryside today originated when coffee growers began to expropriate communal lands. Greenberg considers the strategies people use to avoid or deal with violence, patterns of conflict, and the process of dispute expansion or resolution.
