Sociopolitical Aspects of Canal Irrigation in the Valley of Oaxaca
1973
To mark the completion of their digitization, UMMAA titles are temporarily free-to-read until the end of September 2021.
In order to study canal irrigation in the Valley of Oaxaca, archaeologist Susan H. Lees visited more than 20 villages in the region. She interviewed residents and photographed local water systems. In this volume, Lees analyzes the relationship between water control and local and state government; compares Oaxacan irrigation with that in other regions; and assesses the role of organized labor in the establishment and maintenance of an irrigation system.
