Reviews

""Well-written and highly readable, the book is a compelling work of scholarship that should appeal to a wide range of readers interested in Mexico, urban geography, and indigenous studies.""--Joe Bryan, Journal of Historical Geography ""Racial Alterity, Wixarika Youth Activism, and the Right to the Mexican City examines racial alterity in urban Mexico. By mapping Indigenous belonging as a cultural, geographic, and historical process, this book illuminates how Mexico's cities are racialized to become spaces of inclusion and exclusion.""--M. Bianet Castellanos, co-editor of Comparative Indigeneities of the Américas: Toward a Hemispheric Approach ""In Racial Alterity, Wixarika Youth Activism, and the Right to the Mexican City Diana Negrín offers an important contribution to our understanding of urban indigeneity in contemporary Mexico. Her interdisciplinary approach brings together colonial history, postcolonial state making, and Indigenous geographies in a beautifully written account of how Wixaritari university students and professionals in Nayarit and Jalisco experience the promises (met and unmet) of neoliberal multiculturalism.""--Maurice Rafael Magaña, Mexican American Studies, University of Arizona
