Description

Intimate Enemies explores the conflicts in Chiapas from the perspective of the landed elites, asking why coffee planters and cattle ranchers with a long and storied history of violent responses to agrarian conflict reacted to land invasions triggered by the Zapatista Rebellion of 1994 with quiescence and resignation. In the process, 1999 IDRF Fellow Aaron Bobrow-Strain offers an ethnographic and historical glimpse into conflicts that have been understood almost exclusively through studies of indigenous people and movements.
