MENDOZA GARCIA, Jesús Edgar. The Municipalities of San Gabriel Chilac and San Juan Teotihuacan in Relation to the Federalization of Water, 1888-1960. Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2013, vol.34, n.136, pp.359-397. ISSN 2448-7554.
Based on a comparative analysis of two cases of small-scale irrigation in the municipalities of San Gabriel Chilac (Puebla) and San Juan Teotihuacan (State of Mexico), this article shows the diverse results generated by the policy designed to centralize dominion over the hydric resources previously controlled by local governments (ayuntamientos). In addition, it explains the regional socioeconomic factors that led local governments and social actors to negotiate, adapt to, or resist, those federal policies that constrained their prerogatives. Finally, it identifies the individuals who directly benefitted from this process.
