"Trujillo explores the ongoing process of insurgent history making by examining an ever-widening array of relevant texts that in their origin and topic spiral out from the New Mexican heartland of the Alianza to encompass kindred indigenous insurgencies as far afield as the Zapatistas of Chiapas in southern Mexico. This is an insightful, complex, and sometimes whimsical musing on land, race, indigeneity, and storytelling."—P. R. Sullivan, Choice
“Land Uprising is a pathbreaking interrogation of struggles for reclamation of Indigenous lands from Chiapas to New Mexico that importantly grounds and recenters ‘mestizaje’ debates in the land itself. Through a focus on the intersections of Pueblo, Indohispano, Chicana, and Zapatista story power, Land Uprising unsettles existing scholarship on race and indigeneity across different (settler) colonial and modern nation-state formations and provides a fresh perspective that counters epistemologies of Indigenous erasure.”—Roberto D. Hernández, author of Coloniality of the U-S///Mexico Border: Power, Violence, and the Decolonial Imperative
“Trujillo provides an insightful analysis of the importance of land in Chicano movement politics and decolonial activism.”—Yvette J. Saavedra, author of Pasadena Before the Roses: Race, Identity, and Land Use in Southern California, 1771–1890
