Book Synopsis
Since 1989 an indigenous political movement - the Coalition of Workers, Peasants, and Students of the Isthmus (COCEI) - has governed the southern Mexican city of Juchitan. This title examines this Zapotec Indian movement and shows how COCEI forged a political and cultural path - overcoming oppression in the 1970s to achieve democracy in the 1990s.

Trade Review
"Decentering the Regime reveals a creative, unorthodox political scientist at work. Rubin integrates trenchant cultural and ethnohistorical analysis into his examination of local, regional, and national politics. In the process, his work takes its place on the cutting edge of research not only on Mexican politics and Latin American social movements, but also on broader, post-structural discussions of hegemony and the contested relationship between state formation and popular culture."—Gilbert M. Joseph, Yale University
