Lies build trust”: Social capital, masculinity, and community-based resource management in a Mexican fishery
The gender dynamics of conditional cash transfers and smallholder farming in Calakmul, Mexico
The Legacy of Mexico's Agrarian Counter-Reforms: Reinforcing Social Hierarchies in Calakmul, Campeche
In this paper, we examine how Mexico's 1992 counter-reforms reinforced social hierarchies between two 'classes' of residents within three ejidos in an agricultural frontier in Campeche. We carried out qualitative research with 94 ejidatarios, 92 pobladores and 13 government officials. Our research shows that the reforms cemented the second-class status of pobladores, as their access to land, natural resources such as firewood and governmental sub…
The Middle-Class Conservationist: Social Dramas, Blurred Identity Boundaries, and Their Environmental Consequences in Mexican Conservation
This paper argues that conservation and society research employs a social drama framework that presumes, rather than questions, identity boundaries between conservation actors. This framework describes three competing groups: local residents, government elites, and international actors. The paper counters this narrative by relating the history of conservationists' careers in southern Mexico, where the boundaries between middle-class conservationi…
Introduction: Between Capitalism, the State, and the Grassroots: Mexico′s Contribution to a Global Conservation Debate
This introduction situates Mexico in the research on conservation and society, illustrating some nuances and characteristics of the Mexican model of biodiversity conservation in relation to neoliberal economic development and state formation. The paper critiques the way neoliberalism has become a common framework to understand conservation's social practices. Drawing on the ethnographies collected in this special section, the paper considers the …
Gentlemen-type rules" and "back room deals" in public participation: Natural resource management and a fractured state in North Carolina
This paper examines the political ecology of a participatory environmental management setting. It argues the failure of participatory forums to meet their goals reveals more generalized features of the state, namely its fractured quality and inconsistent actions. Thus, rather than premise questions of how participatory forums might be more effective, researchers should first consider what cleavages and inconsistencies in the state that participat…

Regulation, Conservation, and Collaboration: Ecological Anthropology in the Mississippi Delta
Partnerships in Sustainable Forest Resource Management: Learning from Latin America. Mirjam A. F. ROS-Tonen (ed.), with Heleen van den Hombergh and Annelies Zoomers: Leiden & New York: Brill, 2007
This book begins with the premise that there is an inherent tension between the global flow of forest products and local forest management. The partnerships that have been created to mediate this tension have considerable social and environmental effects. The volume describes these effects in 13 case studies with an introductory chapter that readers will find useful. The contributors express their concern about risk and conflict management in par…
Fields Of Power, Forests Of Discontent: Culture, Conservation, and The State In Mexico
Citizens, Experts, and Anthropologists: Finding Paths in Environmental Policy
The papers in this special section address anthropology's relationship to the creation and implementation of environmental policy. The authors describe anthropologists attempting to flatten hierarchical decision making by acting as cultural brokers who must navigate public advocacy, multidisciplinary research and collaborations with environmental managers, natural resource exploiters, or government agencies. The essay describes how an anthropolog…
Fields Of Power, Forests Of Discontent: Culture, Conservation, and The State In Mexico
Enduring differences between protected areas and local people have produced few happy compromises, but at the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve in the southern Mexican state of Campeche, government agents and thousands of local people collaborated on an expansive program to alleviate these tensions a conservation-development agenda that aimed to improve local people's standard of living while preserving natural resources. Calakmul is home to numerous en…
The changing and enduring ejido: A state and regional examination of Mexico's land tenure counter-reforms
New Rural Poverty: The Tangled Web of Environmental Protection and Economic Aid in Southern Mexico
Scholars, especially those located in Latin America, argue for a new rurality, one that entails changed rural-urban relations and decreasing reliance by rural residents on small-scale farming. Based on an examination of the impacts of three subsidy programs aimed at residents living near Mexico's Calakmul Biosphere Reserve, I suggest these changes reinforce a continued rural poverty. The programs include a series of “conservation-development” ini…
Nature Regimes in Southern Mexico: A History of Power and Environment
This article explores the popularized history of a state-peasant conservation alliance in southern Mexico. Following poststructural calls, it treats this history as a locally constructed "regime of nature, " a story that condenses and attempts to direct the intersection of history, cultural mediation, and ecology. Using ethnographic and archival material, it examines what factors made capitalist interventions aimed at exploiting local forests pos…

Community Formation in Frontier Mexico: Accepting and Rejecting New Migrants
Through a comparison of two communities, this paper addresses village formation in frontier Campeche, Mexico. Mexico's village political unit, the ejido, allows farmers flexibility in deciding who may take up residence in their communities. The paper analyzes how established farmers employ ideas of ethnicity, family, and expectations of social strife to assess the long-term compatibility of newcomers. The paper further examines the role of econom…
