Resumen
BUENROSTRO ALBA, Manuel. Cambios constitucionales en materia indígena en la península de Yucatán: El caso de los jueces tradicionales mayas de Quintana Roo, balance, logros y retos. Nueva antropol [online]. 2013, vol.26, n.78, pp.63-86. ISSN 0185-0636.
The main objective of this work is to reflect on the situation of the indigenous peoples of the Yucatan peninsula through a review of the constitutional reforms carried out in the states of Yucatan, Campeche, and Quintana Roo. The specific experience of traditional Maya judges in Quintana Roo is described and analyzed, thirteen years after the state's Indigenous Justice Law was approved. The article evaluates the principal conflicts and the way in which they have been resolved within alternative Maya justice. The information has been taken from the records of the conciliation proceedings in seventeen indigenous Maya courts in the state of Quintana Roo. It also incorporates first-hand ethnographic data obtained over the last five years of field research in several communities in the Maya region.
