The Legacy of Rodolfo Stavenhagen (1932-2016)
Trapped Behind the Lines
Between 2002 and 2007, Tsotsil Mayas from San Juan Chamula, Chiapas, Mexico, joined the "boom" of undocumented migration to the United States. At the migration's peak, 41 percent of the men 15-34 years of age in a sample hamlet of 1,350 had crossed the border, most having borrowed the equivalent of US$1,500-2,000 at 10 percent/month interest to pay for the trip.

Civil-religious hierarchies in central Chiapas
Civil-religious hierarchies (cargo systems) have often formed the subject of anthropological research in Mesoamerica; indeed, it has been said that they play an essential role in structuring and organizing native communities. Using ethnohistorical evidence from highland Chiapas, however, we argue that such hierarchies emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in response to changes in the regional economy that placed new demands upon Indi…
