Product Description
Book Description
This book examines current debates related to the articulation between the production of local identities and global processes such as the international market, ecological issues and transnational migration. The effects of globalisation are explored in the light of the recent developments in political movements in the Chiapas region, as well as significant changes in traditional political systems of caciquismo and patronage. This volume also addresses the question of the identity of Mexican anthropology and points out some of its roots in European and North American social science studies. The material will be of interest to anthropologists, geographers, political scientists and historians concerned with the formation and reproduction of Mexican society, as well as specialists in Mexico and Latin America.
From the Author
The aim of this book is to open channels of communicationbetween academics and to pay equal attention to different foci and concerns. 'Creating bridges' is part of a process to overcome the 'many obstacles that need to be surmounted so that Europe may have an effective linking organisation between Latin American specialists in different countries. From a Mexican perspective, Mexican anthropology focuses inward, and the best way to break free from this enclosure is through a strengthening of social theory and comparative studies. This seems to be the only way to foster an anthropology which expresses both the specificity of Mexican history and to enjoy, at the same time, a solid international reputation.
