La langosta, los mayas y el colonialismo en Yucatán, México, 1883.

This article discusses the appearance of a plague of locusts that affected several Mexican states and originated in the Yucatan region in the early 1880s. The author examines the devastation caused by the locusts on agricultural production, particularly of henequen, a type of agave plant. She also considers the actions undertaken by the local governments as well as the affected populations, which mainly consisted of Mayas, in an attempt to control the invading pests. A series of statistics related to the locust infestation is also cited throughout.
