This dissertation represents a two-fold re-evaluation of Guatemalan politics and society in the very volatile and fluid period that began with the breakdown of Spanish colonial rule. At the broadest level, it is an effort to place subalterns at the center of Guatemala's national-level political narrative by addressing the following paradox: Why did popular sectors rebel and crush the country's first postcolonial Liberal state in the late 1830s, only to acquiesce to the so-called “Liberal Revolution” that began in 1871? At a more concrete level, the dissertation is a bottom-up examination—in both social and geopolitical terms—of the impact and meaning of Liberalism and Conservatism for Guatemala's rural, largely indigenous, majority. Focusing on the Mam Maya region of Quezaltenango, located in the heart of Guatemala's western coffee zone, this study combines extensive research in numerous regional- and national-level archives to show that many indigenous communities did not view late-nineteenth-century Liberal resurgence as a threat. In practical terms, they had been grappling with the extensive land loss and labor coercion that the existing historiography attributes to the “Liberal Revolution” through thirty years of Conservative rule. As a result, the same Liberal platform that had provoked such a massive insurrection in the late 1830s, when it was imposed against the backdrop of Spanish colonialism, did not generate nearly as much opposition after 1871. In addition, new issues, such as the Conservative alcohol monopoly that penalized women and families who earned a living by trafficking in contraband rum, fostered receptivity to such traditionally Liberal policies as free trade. By rethinking subaltern relations to the national state, and by demonstrating the Conservative role in Guatemala's so-called “Liberal Revolution,” this study undermines the classic narrative of Latin American modernization by providing an alternative to the Liberal/Conservative, Civilization/Barbarism dualisms that continue to obscure the region's nineteenth century. The dissertation ends by considering Guatemala within the context of ongoing theoretical and comparative debates about rural rebellion, subaltern politics, and Latin American popular culture. Especially important is the dialogue established with innovative new research on Mexico, the Andes, and the rest of Central America.
