Huichol Territory and the Mexican Nation: Indigenous Ritual, Land Conflict, and Sovereignty Claims, Paul M. Liffman's 2011 academic study from the University of Arizona Press, First Peoples series, examines Wixarika, or Huichol, territorial claims, including the Wirikuta pilgrimage's place in the wider sacred geography, or kiekari, and its role in land conflict and sovereignty politics. Its strength is that it reaches the pilgrimage and territorial claims material directly, from sustained fieldwork with the community. Its limit is that the San Luis Potosi mining conflict's peak mobilization, 2010 to 2012, against First Majestic Silver, escalated at and after this book's 2011 publication and is not centrally its subject.
