The Decline of Community in Zinacantan: Economy, Public Life, and Social Stratification, 1960-1987Stanford University Press, 1. okt. 1994 - 300 sider This work shows how national prosperity and government expansion in Mexico in the 1970s transformed a relatively closed peasant community into a more outwardly connected, socially differentiated society marked by dissension and conflict. Cancian, who first wrote about the community 25 years ago, has witnessed something near to a transformation of the ethnography of this community. Though the main part of the book is an ethnography of changing people in a changing place, Cancian also aims to contribute to current debates within anthropology. In particular, he reflects on those perspectives which have tried to link local ethnographic description to national and international economic processes. |
