Abstract

LISBONA GUILLEN, Miguel. The Mexican Definition of Chiapas Seen through Two Books. Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2019, vol.14, e378.  Epub Aug 07, 2020. ISSN 1870-4115.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2019.v14.378.

The historiographic gap regarding the Chiapanecan nineteenth century, which is a period that was fundamental for the definition of this territory’s future within the new Mexican State, has begun to be bridged in recent times with new research based on primary sources that contribute first-hand knowledge devoted to revisiting statements that have been repeated as fixed truths. For this reason, the publication of two books that deal with the annexation of Chiapas as Mexican territory is a historiographic milestone that will revitalize the readers’ understanding of a key period in the past.

Keywords : nineteenth century; geopolitics; borders; Central America; historiography.
