Benson Center Scholar in Residence publishes social history of Mixtec identity
Congratulations to former Benson Center Scholar in Residence David Yee, whose article, was recently published online by Cambridge University Press. The article presents a social history of the Coalición de los Pueblos Mixtecos Oaxaqueños (Coalition of Mixtec Oaxacan Communities, CPMO), a grouping of mutual-aid associations formed by Indigenous migrants in Mexico City during the middle of the twentieth century. Yee (PhD History, Stony Brook University) is an historian of modern Latin America with a focus on urban studies in Mexico. He wrote the article during his CU Boulder residency in 2019-20. Yee currently teaches at Metropolitan State University of Denver
