MANZANILLA DORANTES, Juan Ramón. The municipality of Espita: federalization of education, concurrence and conflict, 1922-1935. Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2015, vol.36, n.143, pp.103-127. ISSN 2448-7554.

This article examines the federalization of education in the municipality of Espita, Yucatán, Mexico, from 1922-to-1935, where the centralizing movement that sought to federalize education followed upon a dispute between the municipal and state governments. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the Catholic Church, local communities and local governments (ayuntamientos) ceased to have any say in education. In Espita, the federalization of education involved moments of concurrence and conflict between school networks in the urban zone and complementarity with the establishment of schools on haciendas that had never had them; all this in a rapid expansion process of the federal educational system.
