Aborda las diversas formas de expresión política adoptadas por los indígenas mexicanos entre 1970 y 1983 para expresar sus necesidades, defender sus intereses (exigencia o recuperación de tierras y recursos, recreación de su cultura conservando lengua y costumbres) y participar políticamente en la planeación del futuro. En contra de la corriente ortodoxa, que pronostica la desaparición de los indígenas como sector social, los hechos aquí registrados ponen de manifiesto la vigencia del indígena como hombre político.
Dans les confins indiens du Mexique, la démocratisation s'accompagne d'une reconnaissance de la nature pluriculturelle de la société. L'indianité fait son entrée dans la sphère publique, sous l'effet combiné de la mobilisation sociale et du calcul politique. Dans l'une des provinces à plus forte densité de population indienne, l'Oaxaca, cette politique du multiculturalisme a pris une forme particulière. La reconnaissance a porté sur l'autonomie politique des communautés indiennes. L'Etat a légalisé les formes traditionnelles d'élection et de délibération politique au niveau municipal. Cet ouvrage s'attache à élucider cette énigme de la transition mexicaine. Dans une perspective comparative, il enrichit les problématiques de la démocratie et nourrit la réflexion sur la question indienne à l'échelle du continent.

Structured in the form of a dialogue between a distinguished array of Mexicanists and comparative social theorists, this volume boldly reassesses past analyses of the Mexican revolution and sug...
This timely study examines the processes by which modern states are created within multiethnic societies. How are national identities forged from countries made up of peoples with different and often conflicting cultures, languages, and histories? How successful is this process? What is lost and gained from the emergence of national identities? Natividad Gutiérrez examines the development of the modern Mexican state to address these difficult questions. She describes how Mexican national identity has been and is being created and evaluates the effectiveness of that process of state-building. Her investigation is distinguished by a critical consideration of cross-cultural theories of nationa...
