OverviewIn his exciting new book, based on a decade of ethnographic fieldwork, Maurice Magaña considers how urban and migrant youth in Oaxaca embrace subcultures from hip-hop to punk and adopt creative organizing practices to create meaningful channels of participation in local social and political life. In the process, young people remake urban space and construct new identities in ways that directly challenge elite visions of their city and essentialist notions of what it means to be indigenous in the contemporary era. Cartographies of Youth Resistance is essential reading for students and scholars interested in youth politics and culture in Mexico, social movements, urban studies, and migration.

Rich in information, it sheds light on the complexity of local politics and social movements. More than anything else, it is the depth of Magana's analysis, capturing the youth's interconnected understanding of race, politics, and subcultures, that makes this book a must-read for researchers of social movements in the Americas, and beyond. * Anthropology Book Forum * In short, Cartographies of Youth Resistance provides a compelling take on the role of Indigenous young people in the spatial construction of social movements. The insights developed in the book are not only useful for understanding social movements in Mexico; they can also be adapted for thinking about youth activism in many contexts throughout Latin America and elsewhere. * Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology * The book's wealth of ethnographic data on a too-little studied corner of the world opens the door for others to join and extend the valuable dialogues that Magana and his collaborators in Oaxaca established. * Anthropological Forum * Magana's greatest contribution is his ethnographic work about punk culture in Oaxaca. . . . The punk scene is often regarded as the rebel kid of white privilege. Magana shows us another point of view regarding the deep complexities of this group. . . . This book serves to benefit anyone studying globalization, transculturation, multiculturalism, hybrid cultures, and interculturalism in Latin America. * Mobilizations * Within the context of the enduring afterlife of the renowned 2006 Oaxaca teacher's strike, Magan~a (Univ. of Arizona) presents an extraordinarily well-informed ethnographic account . . .Magan~a portrays and corroborates Oaxacan youth as agents of change and dreamers of liberatory and dignified futures, offering a counter-reality to the prevalent negative stereotypes of the Mexican underclass. This is an excellent book for both its methodology and content. * CHOICE * The book is an ethnographic treasure-trove. Rich in information, it sheds light on the complexity of local politics and social movements. More than anything else, it is the depth of Magana's analysis, capturing the youth's interconnected understanding of race, politics, and subcultures, that makes this book a must-read for researchers of social movements in the Americas, and beyond. * Anthropology Book Forum * Author InformationMaurice Rafael Magaña is a sociocultural anthropologist and Assistant Professor of Mexican American Studies at the University of Arizona.
