| Sumario: | 'From the Grounds Up' is a study of how peripheral places grappled with globalization at the end of the nineteenth century. Through extensive use of local archives in the Soconusco district of Chiapas, Mexico, the text redefines the body of actors who integrated Latin America's countryside into international markets for agricultural goods.
