This article examines local expressions of race in San Nicol\u00e1s in relation to Mexico\u2019s national ideology of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mixedracestudies.org\/?p=14551\" target=\"_blank\">mestizaje<\/a> (race mixing), which excludes blackness but is foundational to Mexican racial identities. San Nicol\u00e1s\u2019s black-Indians are strongly nationalistic while expressing a collective or regional identity different from those of peoples they identify as Indians and as whites. Such collective expression produces an alternative model of mestizaje, here explored through local agrarian history and several village festivals. It is argued that this alternative model favors Indians and distances whites, thereby challenging dominant forms of Mexican mestizaje.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/17442222.2015.1094873\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indian allies and white antagonists: toward an alternative mestizaje on Mexico\u2019s Costa Chica Latin American and Caribbean Ethnic Studies Published online: 2015-10-05 DOI: 10.1080\/17442222.2015.1094873 Laura A.
