ARAGON ANDRADE, Orlando. The Revolutions of the Indigenous Rights in Michoacán. A reading of the battle of Cherán. Alteridades [online]. 2018, vol.28, n.55, pp.25-36. ISSN 2448-850X.  https://doi.org/10.24275/uam/izt/dcsh/alteridades/2018v28n55/aragon.

This paper intends to explain the logic of the strong growth of judicial precedents and legislative innovations of crucial importance for indigenous peoples in Mexico, that have taken place during the last six years in Michoacán. The starting point of this investigation is the beginning of the Purépecha movement, in Cherán. This process, which we refer to as the revolution of indigenous rights in Michoacán, has emerged in a new scenario marked by its heterogeneous nature and the schizophrenia of the State law, as well as an exaggeration of the right of free determination by Purépecha movements in Cherán and Pichátaro.

Keywords : free determination of indigenous peoples; legal pluralism; legal schizophrenia; political-legal alchemy; Pichátaro.
