Acknowledgements
First off, I would like to thank Professor Vania Smith-Oka for taking me to Amatlán and introducing me to such amazing people. She has been a source of strength and guidance throughout this process. I would like to thank Francisca, Valente, and Pancho for being the most wonderful family imaginable. Thanks to Maestro Francisco for his enthusiasm, generosity, and time. Thanks to Isaías, my close companion and guide in Amatlán. I would also like to thank all of the young people who helped me with my project as informants, students, teachers, and friends. Additionally, I would like to thank the Kellogg Institute for International Studies, who granted me the fellowship that allowed me to undertake this research.
