This book describes and analyzes migration of individuals from San Cosme Mazatecochco in central Mexico to a new United States community in New Jersey. Based on four decades of anthropological researc
Porque Las Raizes No Se Olvidan: Continuity and Change among Mexican Migrants in New Jersey
This paper examines how, as in the past in their home community in Mexico, Mexican immigrants in the United States use a system of flexible kinship and ritual practices to adapt to new circumstances of living and working in communities with new neighbours, new challenges and new threats. The paper focuses particularly on how the increased presence of women who have not always been a large part of the Mexican migrant community in the United States…

Challenging Consumption Theory: Production and Consumption in Central Mexico
This article questions the view that consumption rather than production has become the motor of the global economy. Based on the approach pioneered and developed by June Nash that stresses anthropological political economy, the article examines small-scale garment production in San Cosme Mazatecochco, a rural Mexican community in which consumption has become an increasing concern. Despite the appearance of consumption as an overriding concern, ho…
Constructing, Destroying, and Reconstructing Difference: The Mexican Nation and Cultural Difference
Anthropological studies of Mexico in the twentieth century (like anthropology elsewhere) began with a heavy emphasis on fieldwork that usually lasted a year in a single community. By the late 1960s, under the influence especially of Eric Wolf in the US and Mexican anthropologists such as Guillermo Bonfil Batalla and Arturo Warman, anthropology's community studies had begun taking into account the larger national and international political econom…
Declining Odds: Kinship, Women's Employment, and Political Economy in Rural Mexico
Some women in San Cosme Mazatecochco, a rural community in central Mexico, whose families have more diverse networks and a slight economic advantage, use the community's flexible kinship system to get more secure employment. But their ability to do so is limited by the larger political economy. As the Mexican economy deteriorates for working-class Mexicans and the class system becomes more closed, more women participate in the labor force and mor…

The Impact of Development, the Commercialization of Agriculture, and Economic Dependency on Women's Participation in Agricultural Production
The post‐World War ? period has been one of intense development activity throughout the world. Lesser developed countries have showed significant economic growth throughout this time‐span. Among the many consequences which are attributed to development, changes in gender relations are often mentioned. However, prior research has been unable to establish conclusively how economic development is related to gender inequality, particularly as this is…

The New Proletarians: Third World Reality and First World Categories
Although wage work has been present in the third world for some time, more people in that world are selling more of their labor today than ever before. Anthropologists and other social scientists have dealt with this increase in the amount of wage labor by using a variety of concepts, including urbanization, migration, and proletarianization. Recently, the concept of the peasant-wor-ker has appeared in the literature with greater frequency and a …

Women and Men in the Family Economy: An Analysis of the Relations between the Sexes in Three Peasant Communities
Discussions of the relations between the sexes in peasant communities have indicated a great deal of variation ranging from dominance through female dominance. This paper shows that some of this variance is an artifact of the approach used in description and analysis. The paper compares male-female relations in two male dominated communities, Cheran and Tepoztladn, to the relatively egalitarian relations observed by the author in San Cosmine and …
Specialization, Market Exchange, and the Aztec State: A View From Huexotla [and Comments and Reply]
Archaeological data from Huexotla, an Aztec-period site in the Valley of Mexico, are used to test the proposition that Mexican states arose and expanded to facilitate specialization and market exchange. By and large, this proposition is not supported by the Huexotla data. During Early Aztec times, the Valley of Mexico was divided into a number of small, autonomous city-states. The Huexotla data suggest that the local economies of these city-state…
