MEL Talks - Bob Temple

When Did the Caste War End? - The Caste War remains a profoundly important event in the history of this region. In the New World’s most successful indigenous revolt, Maya people created an independent nation that persisted more than half a century, into the 1900s. When the long and tragic conflict actually came to an end — if ever? — is the subject of considerable complexity. This illustrated lecture is for everyone interested in local history. Watch the video of Bob’s talk here.

Bob Temple is the author of After the Meteor: Surprising History in Yucatán, the only general, popular history of Yucatán in English, now available in its third edition.

MEL Talks begin at 7:00 PM and are free and open to the public. See our entire season lineup here.
