«Rebelión en Milagro» is the novel by John Nichols, published in 1989 by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (576 pages, in Spanish).
In Milagro, a town in New Mexico, a Chicano community resists the plans of a tourist development. Joe Mondragón decides to water his beans by diverting water from the acequia, and his gesture ignites a conflict that splashes the governor and the whole town. Choral satire on power, water, and rural memory.
It is the first installment of John Nichols's New Mexico trilogy. Translation from English by Elsa Mateo and Horacio González Trejo. Original title: The Milagro Beanfield War (1974).
For readers of social fiction, magical realism, and humor, and for those who appreciate rural stories of community resistance.
John Nichols was an English printer, author and antiquary. He is remembered as an influential editor of the Gentleman's Magazine for nearly 40 years; author of a monumental county history of Leicestershire; author of two compendia of biographical material relating to his literary contemporaries; and as one of the agents behind the first complete publication of Domesday Book in 1783.
