		The history of the caste war, not unlike Mexico's dramatic history, is complicated to say the least.
		But a few years later, the new Yucatan government made sweeping changes, including the suppression of monasteries separating church and state, and adopting new land and property rights, which included a clause allowing former public lands to be cultivated and sold.
		The Revolution had arrived, and with it, the caste war of the Yucatan ended after 60 years of revolt by a people who fought fiercely to preserve their way of life.

	Antiquity, Reviews: Bray Review September 2005
		The Caste War of Yucatán (1847-1901) was one of the most protracted and successful native rebellions in the New World.
		Looked at from the viewpoint of the Maya, the Caste War was just one event in a continuing process of resistance to, and adaptation to, the encroachment of colonial society and its market economy on the lives of traditional farmers.
		Her argument is that changes in the wider world, beyond the control of subsistence farmers, will be reflected by settlement patterns (foundation, growth, decline and abandonment of pueblos, ranches and haciendas), by fluctuations in population size and distribution and, at micro-level, by changes in household layout as the balance of domestic activities changes through time.

		But in Quintana Roo after the Caste War of the Yucatan, which began in 1847 and ended with a half-hearted truce as recently as 1935, it's difficult to determine who won the battle and which side lost the war.

		Originally published in 1964 Reed’s The Caste War of Yucatan became a classic in the literature of Latin America for its compellingly told story of the Maya uprising in Mexico’s southeast during the mid-19th century.
		The Caste War of Yucatan was a nearly successful indigenous rebellion in which the Yucatec Maya almost succeeded in re-capturing their entire peninsular homeland and re-establishing Maya rule.

		The Caste War of Yucatán (1847-55) was one of the most notable and successful indigenous rebellions ever to occur in Latin America.
		While not seeking to explain the origins of the Caste War per se, Alexander focuses instead on tracing the strategies of coping and survival among the households and communities of the area over the long range including the Caste War period.
		Nonetheless, Yaxcabá and the Caste War of Yucatán is a notable contribution to the literature on the Caste War and especially valuable for its application of archaeological methodology to studies of survival, rebellion and resistance.

	Caste War summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Caste War, which began in the dry limestone flats of the Yucatan Peninsula in 1847, was one of the most successful indigenous uprisings in the history of the Americas and led to the existence of an independent Maya state that remained autonomous for over 50 years.
		By mid-1848, the Yucatan elite population had been driven to Merida where preparations were being made to flee the peninsula, leaving it entirely in Maya hands.
		Though accounts of the Caste War invariably focus on the conflict between the Yucatecan government and the Santa Cruz rebels, the Maya that fled south became major players in this ongoing conflict, generating another less noted “war” with the British forces of British Honduras.

	Book Review
		The Peninsula had long prided herself on her political autonomy from the capital; indeed, in 1836 Yucatan had risen in rebellion against a new constitution and a new government that vowed to bring her more firmly under the control of the Federal District.
		The history of the western Yucatan during this period is a dreary list of instability, revolt, coup and counter-coup, all of this occurring with the Maya only a short distance away.
		The Caste War of the Yucatan the peninsula was really a side-show to the general course of Mexican history.

		The "Talking" Cross is stated in the literature as having revealed itself, that is historically first appeared, during the Caste War of Yucatán in the 1850’s.
		Though the major communicating cross shrines appear to derive from the Caste War (Dumond 1985; Reed 1964); these same shrines are presently known to be active 150 years after their inception (Aguilera 1998; Burns 1983:20 and 73; Sullivan 1989:200-222).
		Caste War history demonstrates that the confiscation and destruction of crosses has not brought about their silence.

		The Caste War closed Yucatan and Quintana Roo borders to all but indigenous Maya for nearly 60 years, making travel to the area downright dangerous.
		Thompson, appointed archeological consul to the Yucatan in 1895, was one of the first explorers to tread the land after the Caste War began.
		As the youngest consul ever, Thompson’s post would be the Mexican states of Yucatan and Campeche, and he would use this post as a base from which to explore the ruins.

	The Caste War of Yucatán: Revised Edition - Nelson Reed
		This is the classic account of one of the most dramatic episodes in Mexican history—the revolt of the Maya Indians of Yucatán against their white and mestizo oppressors that began in 1847.
		Within a year, the Maya rebels had almost succeeded in driving their oppressors from the peninsula; by 1855, when the major battles ended, the war had killed or put to flight almost half of the population of Yucatán.
		One of the most significant results of this research is that it has put a human face on much that had heretofore been treated as semi-mythical.

	Amazon.com: The Caste War of Yucatan: Books: Nelson Reed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Nelson Reed's "Caste War of Yucatan" tells the story of an obscure Maya rebellion in Mexico in the 1840's with vigor and a style that makes this history come alive.
		The story covers the 53 year struggle of the communities of Yucatec Maya that rebelled against intolerable oppression in 1847 and whose events snowballed to an all out race war which raged on and off until its flame was finally extinguished due more to illness and exhaustion than to the resolve of the participants.
		Although closely focused on the Maya rebellion that began in 1847 and continued well into the 20th Century, The Caste War of Yucatan presents a sensitive, accurate and comprehensive picture of the entire history of the Yucatan Peninsula, with many important insights into the history of Mexico as well.
