Notes

1. See Roger Bartra and Gerardo Otero, “Agrarian Crisis and Social Differentiation in Mexico,” Journal of Peasant Studies 14, no. 3 (1987):334–62.

2. Friedrich's anthrohistorical method in this volume experiments with a self-reflexive treatment of his own role as a narrator of Naranja's political history. The manner in which Friedrich draws the personal and the political together in his analysis and the explicit attention he devotes to the creative process of writing are facets that address many current anthropological concerns with the nature of “writing culture.” Anthropologists and historians will learn at least as much from Friedrich's method as they will about the substance of Naranja's political life.
