  On December 22, 1997, forty-five unarmed members of the indigenous organization Las Abejas (The Bees) were massacred in a prayer meeting in the village of Acteal, Mexico. This work contrasts the accounts of the Acteal massacre and other events with state attempts to frame the past, control subaltern populations, and legitimatize its own authority.
