La fiesta de los tastoanes Paperback - 1998

by Olga Nájera-Ramírez

Each year, for three days in September, the citizens of Jocotan, an ancient indigenous community near Guadalajara, Mexico, symbolically reenact the Spanish conquest of Mexico in mock battles between Santiago, the patron saint of Spain, and the Tastoanes, the leaders of the indigenous resistance. Employing the concept of hegemony, the author explores what the festival means culturally to the community and shows how it enables Jocotenos to adapt to Christianity and to resist the social order it symbolizes.


From the publisher

Each year, for three days in September, the citizens of Jocotn, an ancient indigenous community near Guadalajara, Mexico, symbolically reenact the Spanish conquest of Mexico in mock battles between Santiago, the patron saint of Spain, and the Tastoanes, the leaders of the indigenous resistance. Paradoxically, the Jocoteos honor Santiago, their special protector, and incorporate both Christian and indigenous practices and beliefs in their fiesta. Employing the concept of hegemony, the author explores what the festival means culturally to the community and shows how it enables Jocoteos to adapt to Christianity and to resist the social order it symbolizes. Through the festival, Jocoteos address their collective identity, the preservation of their folk culture, and their relationship to the social-political power structure of Jocotn. Students of Mexican culture and of syncretic religions worldwide will find this study stimulating and informative.
