Nixtamal techniques for different maize races prepared as tortillas and tostadas by women of Chiapas, Mexico
Nixtamalization, which means cooking maize in alkaline water, is the central technique for the culinary use of maize in Mexico and Central America. Without this procedure, relying on maize as the basic starch staple is inadequate because of nutriment deficiencies. Mexico has more than 50 principal racial types of maize, and these differ in grain qualities that can require the adjustment of the nixtamalization process. Properties such as hardness …
Paysages du maïs au Mexique: Comment la diversité est-elle structurée et que voulons-nous conserver
La conservation in situ des plantes cultivées, ou dans les champs des agriculteurs, a joué un rôle mineur dans la conservation des ressources génétiques et on lui a préféré les méthodes ex situ. Bien que l’on pense que la conservation à la ferme intéresse essentiellement les sélectionneurs généticiens, il faut considérer qu’elle a lieu car l’agriculture paysanne est encore liée aux variétés traditionnelles. Dans cet article le cas du maïs au Mexi…
Emociones, Semillas Nativas y Cambio Climático: El Movimiento de Soberanía de las Semillas en Chiapas, México
What role do emotions play in the creation of interpretive frameworks that allow communities to respond effectively to the challenges posed by climate change? This article explores this question empirically from the perspective of small indigenous peasant communities in the central region of Chiapas, Mexico. The study shows that the spiritual, cultural and material meanings that indigenous communities assign to the traditional milpa agroecosystem…

A Minor Role for Environmental Adaptation in Local–Scale Maize Landrace Distribution: Results from a Common Garden Experiment in Oaxaca, Mexico1
Selling Maize in Mexico: The Persistence of Peasant Farming in an Era of Global Markets
The last decade of the twentieth century was heralded as the 'end of agrarian reform' in Mexico and the initiation of a new era of market-led agricultural policy and practice. The impact of neoliberalism and the North American Free Trade Agreement on smallholder maize production has been widely conceived as negative, associated with ecological degradation, rural emigration and cultural erosion. Yet, some twenty years later, all evidence suggests …
Climate change and the transgenic adaptation strategy: Smallholder livelihoods, climate justice, and maize landraces in Mexico
Tzeltal and Tzotzil Farmer Knowledge and Maize Diversity in Chiapas, Mexico
Different maize races dominate the highland communities of the Tzotzil and the Tzeltal of highland Chiapas, Mexico. When Tzeltal and Tzotzil informants from four communities were asked to sort photographs of maize varieties from the two municipalities according to ear similarity and the pictured variety's ability to produce on their communities' lands, their responses revealed that they have a common system of maize classification based on color …
Maize diversity and ethnolinguistic diversity in Chiapas, Mexico
The objective of this study is to investigate whether ethnolinguistic diversity influences crop diversity. Factors suggest a correlation between biological diversity of crops and cultural diversity. Although this correlation has been noted, little systematic research has focused on the role of culture in shaping crop diversity. This paper reports on research in the Maya highlands (altitude > 1,800 m) of central Chiapas in southern Mexico that exa…
