GARCIA QUINTANILLA, Alejandra. Locusts, the Maya and Colonialism in Yucatán, México, 1883. Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2012, vol.33, n.129, pp.215-249. ISSN 2448-7554.
In the year 1883, an enormous plague of locusts emerged in Yucatán and then spread out to raze several states in the Mexican Republic. This essay analyzes the responses of the civil society, primarily Mayan peoples, by the owners (hacendados) of henequen plantations, and by the Yucatán government, precisely on the threshold of the so-called "henequen boom".
