Resumen
CABRERA-PACHECO, Ana Julia. The (re)production of agri-food traditions in the Maya solares of the Peninsula of Yucatán, Mexico. Estud. soc. Rev. aliment. contemp. desarro. reg. [online]. 2022, vol.32, n.60, e221263. Epub 10-Mar-2023. ISSN 2395-9169. https://doi.org/10.24836/es.v32i60.1263.
Objective:
To explore how the agri-food knowledges and practices of Maya women enable the continuous reproduction of the Maya ways of life in the Peninsula. Methodology: qualitative methodologies: surveys, semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and narrative walks in solares, plots and milpas. Documentary research on the main themes complemented this information.
Results:
Maya women perform agri-food activities in the solares of the Peninsula within biocultural territories, combining knowledges and practices that come from memories and traditions transmitted generationally.
Limitations:
The interactions with participants were limited because of the Covid-19 health emergency.
Conclusions:
The (re)productive work of women enables the reproduction of Maya ways of life in the biocultural territories of the Peninsula, and it is a vital component for the autonomy and sovereignty of the Maya people.
