Chapter 5 of Caterina Pizzigoni’s, “The Life Within,” highlights the important details and semantics related to indigenous Mexican society and practices that separate those populations from normative European colonial traditions. Maguey was a plant that presented new opportunities for an indigenous group who previously relied on maize for sustenance. The fact that Maguey was a symbol of equal representation between genders demonstrates an objective look at intercommunal working in central Mexico in the early 18th century. Pizzigoni’s work demonstrates how colonial intervention affected the consumption and production of Maguey based liquor consumption.
