SOLIS CRUZ, Jesús. Church, popular catholicism and the state: socio-historical foundations of a village in Michoacán. Tzintzun. Rev. estud. históricos [online]. 2015, n.61, pp.179-206. ISSN 2007-963X.

During the institutionalization period of the government originating in the Mexican Revolution, certain social and politican projects were encouraged which aimed at renewing national society in its broadest sense. In rural areas, the most important of these projects was to provide people with land. As a result of this state project, a social identity and rural politics started to emerge. his process, known as agrarism, faced both wide acceptance and hard resistance among the population. his paper analyzes and collects historical facts of key importance in the village of Tiríndaro, Michoacán state, which show the different phases of the arrival and consolidation of the new agrarian state project at the beginning of the 20th century. It will also shed light on how disruptive it proved to be in a village which had earlier been characterized by its industriousness and devoted catholicism. hus, starting out from the idea that the state and the church are contingent societies, this research paper sets the premise that the society of Tiríndaro is a product of social, political and cultural parameters coming from the Catholic church, the national State and recent actions of a popular catholicism.
