The Penn Cultural Heritage Center presents a lecture with Dr. Julio Cesar Hoil Gutierrez of the Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios Superiores en Antropología Social, who will deliver a detailed account of how the Caste War (1847) conditioned the agrarian landscape of the East Yucatan in the second half of the 19th century. He will show that the formation of ejidos in the Eastern Yucatan between 1920-1940 was a mix of the landscape that shaped the Caste War—and the course of agrarian reform itself.

Presented in Spanish with an interpreter, this lecture brings light to the agrarian history of an area of the Yucatan that has been marginalized in historiography.

Included with Museum admission. Free for Museum members, PennCard holders, U.S. active duty/reservist military personnel, and veterans.
