Nahua Village
Globalization and Indígenas: The Alto Balsas Nahuas
The Netherlandic Presence in Ontario: Pillars, Class and Dutch Ethnicity
Schryer’s central argument is that ethnic groups are as much modern “myths” as they are integral components of a socially constructed reality. Focusing on the large cohort of immigrants from the Netherlands and the former Dutch East Indies who arrived in Canada between 1947 and 1960, Schryer shows how the Dutch, despite a loss of ethnic identity and a high level of linguistic assimilation, replicated many aspects of their homeland. While illustra…
Cartographic Mexico: A History of State Fixations and Fugitive Landscapes
This book presents a spatial history of modern Mexico. Using materials from various archival sources, Raymond Craib pieces together several narratives to illustrate the ongoing, yet never completed, creation of Mexico as a socially constructed reality. He thus follows in the footsteps of scholars like Derek Sayer and James Scott, and the expression “state fixations” in the title immediately brought to mind Scott’s book Seeing Like a State. It cam…
La sociedad mexicana y sus pueblos indígenas a fines del siglo XX
Multiple hierarchies and the duplex nature of groups
This article examines the links between multiple hierarchies and a wide range of broad-based groups, in order to develop a theoretical framework capable of integrating group phenomena, social identities, and political mobilization. Various case-studies are used to illustrate how hierarchies between and within groups are obfuscated by discrepancies between the material and symbolic aspects of social reality. Yet such discrepancies, which are partl…
Getting the Goods on Social Capital1
This article presents an overview of the origins, development, rapid diffusion, and current usage of the concept of social capital in both the academic (research-oriented) and more applied (social policy) literature. Following a short quantitative survey of the appearance of the term in both theses and journals, various meanings of social capital are examined in the light of classical and contemporary sociological theory. Three main research appr…
Peasant and Nation: The Making of Postcolonial Mexico and Peru, by Florencia Mallon
Las sociedades agrarias en el norte de Hidalgo, 1856-1900
This article examines the way native communities in northern Hidalgo utilized the legal institutions of sociedad and condueñazgo to maintain control over their own affairs and to defend themselves against the harmful effects of the liberal land reform
Ethnicity and Class Conflict in Rural Mexico
In this case study of a recent peasant uprising in an ethnically diverse region of Mexico, Frans Schryer addresses an important issue in the cultural history of Latin America: what is the relationship of class to ethnicity, and how do these two elements of cultural perception and social hierarchy reinforce or contradict each other? Examining the interaction between commercial cattle raisers and subsistence agricultural workers in both Nahua and M…
Peasants and the Law: A History of Land Tenure and Conflict in the Huasteca
The Huasteca, a region with a semi-tropical climate and abundant vegetation, has become one of the most violent and conflict-ridden parts of rural Mexico. Starting in the mid-1970s, a series of land invasions involving mainly Nahuatl-speaking Indian peasants broke out in the district of Huejutla in the northeastern portion of the state of Hidalgo (also known as the Huasteca Hidalguense). Militant agrarian peasants, who cut fences, confiscated cof…

The Rancheros of Pisaflores: The History of a Peasant Bourgeoisie in Twentieth-Century Mexico
A Ranchero Economy in Northwestern Hidalgo, 1880-1920
No segment of the rural population, prior to the Mexican Revolution, has been so neglected or misunderstood as the rancheros. The meaning of this term itself is ambiguous, referring at the same time to small farmers of predominantly Spanish descent in the state of Jalisco, to traditional landowners occupying very modest estates in more isolated regions in other parts of central and southern Mexico, or to pioneer cattle ranchers in the more sparse…

Village factionalism and class conflict in peasant communities
This article reviews the anthropological literature on the relationship between village factionalism and class conflict in peasant communities. The author also tries to develop a broader theoretical framework for analysing different types of social conflict in peasant communities. He argues that rural class structures must be more closely examined and that the anthropological approach to factionalism should be combined with the sociological study…
