Native Peoples of the Gulf Coast of Mexico
For too long, the Gulf Coast of Mexico has been dismissed by scholars as peripheral to the Mesoamerican heartland, but researchers now recognize that much can be learned from this region’s cultures. Peoples of the Gulf Coast—particularly those in Veracruz and Tabasco—share so many historical experiences and cultural features that they can fruitfully be viewed as a regional unit for research and analysis. Native Peoples of the Gulf Coast of Mexico is the first book to argue that the people of this region constitute a culture area distinct from other parts of Mexico. A pioneering effort by a team of international scholars who summarize hundreds of years of history, this encyclopedic work...
Supplement to the Handbook of Middle American Indians, Volume 6
In this Ethnology supplement, anthropologists who have carried out long-term fieldwork among indigenous people review the ethnographic literature in the various regions of Middle America and discuss the theoretical and methodological orientations that have framed the work of scholars over the last several decades. They examine how research agendas have developed in relationship to broader interests in the field and the ways in which the anthropology of the region has responded to the sociopolitical and economic policies of Mexico and Guatemala. Most importantly, they focus on the changing conditions of life of the indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica. This volume offers a comprehensive picture of both the indigenous populations and developments in the anthropology of the region over the last thirty years.
Supplement to the Handbook of Middle American Indians, Volume 6
In 1981, UT Press began to issue supplemental volumes to the classic sixteen-volume work, Handbook of Middle American Indians. These supplements are intended to update scholarship in various areas and to cover topics of current interest. Supplements devoted to Archaeology, Linguistics, Literatures, Ethnohistory, and Epigraphy have appeared to date. In this Ethnology supplement, anthropologists who have carried out long-term fieldwork among indigenous people review the ethnographic literature in the various regions of Middle America and discuss the theoretical and methodological orientations that have framed the work of areal scholars over the last several decades. They examine how research agendas have developed in relationship to broader interests in the field and the ways in which the anthropology of the region has responded to the sociopolitical and economic policies of Mexico and Guatemala. Most importantly, they focus on the changing conditions of life of the indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica. This volume thus offers a comprehensive picture of both the indigenous populations and developments in the anthropology of the region over the last thirty years.

Boletín Colegio de Etnólogos y Antropólogos Sociales 2008
La antropología aplicada en México hoy se distingue porque el Estado ha perdido el papel monopólico que tuvo en el pasado y, al mismo tiempo, ha habido una explosión multicolor de nuevos rumbos en los que la perspectiva holista y comprometida de la antropología tiene una gran pertienencia. Como hemos señalado en un trabajo reciente (Escamilla, Salmerón y Valladares, 2007), es posible afirmar que la oferta de trabajo para los egresados de las disciplinas antropológicas se ha modificado sustancialmente en las últimas décadas. Por una parte tenemos un mayor campo de trabajo vinculado no solamente con la academia y las agencias gubernamentales en las que tradicionalmente han laborado l...
Diversidad étnica y conflicto en América Latina: El indio como metáfora en la identidad nacional
Este volumen forma parte de la serie Diversidad Étnica y Conflicto en América Latina; en él se hace un recorrido de diferntes momentos históricos comprendidos entre los siglos XVI y XX, para descubrir desde diversos ángulos algiunas vetas de reflexión en torno a la identidad. Los seis primeros trabajos muestran las distintas maneras en que los grupos hegemónicos y la sociedad nacional mexicana han comprometido, caracterizado e incorporado la figura del indio como parte del perfil de identidad en ese largo y complejo proceso de construir la nación mexicana. Los siguientes tres arículos abordan la problemática de la identidad vista desde los otros, esto es, desde los indígenas o de los que proponen una nueva identidad mexicana.
