Since 1989 an indigenous political movement-the Coalition of Workers, Peasants, and Students of the Isthmus (COCEI)-has governed the southern Mexican city of Juchitán. In Decentering the Regime, Jeffrey W. Rubin examines this Zapotec Indian movement and shows how COCEI forged an unprecedented political and cultural path-overcoming oppression in the 1970s to achieve democracy in the 1990s. Rubin traces the history and rise to power of this grassroots movement, and describes a Juchitán that exists in substantial autonomy from the central Mexican government and Mexican nationalism-thereby debunking the notion that a state- and regime-centered approach to power can explain the politics of domination and resistance in Mexico.
