Abstract

GARZA CALIGARIS, Anna María. Conflicto, etnicidad y género en la política interna de San Pedro Chenalhó, Chiapas. Sociológica (Méx.) [online]. 2007, vol.22, n.63, pp.85-110. ISSN 2007-8358.

This article explains the complexity of social conflicts, focusing on the formation of power groups in Chenalhó's recent history, in which political relations have been organized around forms of inclusion and exclusion according to hierarchies and differences created in a history that intertwines the local with the regional and the national. Alliances with different institutions since Cardenism opened up unequal conditions for sectors of the population to experience, represent and politically use ethnicity. The author seeks to analyze how domestic relationships and gender relations intertwined with the exercise of an authority that successfully combined consensus with coercion to govern the municipality.

Keywords : indigenous; gender; social conflict; ethnicity.
