Why did Mexico’s disruptive indigenous movement begin to fade during the ‘indigenous boom’ years of the 1990s? Containing the influence of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) in Oaxaca, a state with a large indigenous population and a long history of radicalism, had much to do with it. This article suggests that neoliberal multicultural reforms created a new formula for distinguishing an ‘indio permitido’ from its unauthorized Other and helped sideline one of the state’s most powerful indigenous coalitions, the Popular Indigenous Council of Oaxaca – Ricardo Flores Magón. By examining the cultural politics of Mexican divide-and-conquer strategies in a moment of insurgency, this article highlights how a tradition-and-transition mode of neoliberal governance emerged in Oaxaca in the 1990s. It divided and isolated a ‘participating’ indigenous subject from a protesting one, and played a key role in preventing the further consolidation of indigenous movements in southern Mexico
