Resumen
RINALDY, Alicia. Staying in the village: Family solidarities and gender inequalities in a coffee ejido of the Soconusco (Chiapas, Mexico). LiminaR [online]. 2021, vol.19, n.2, pp.151-163. Epub 27-Sep-2021. ISSN 2007-8900. https://doi.org/10.29043/liminar.v19i2.847.
We discuss in this paper the role played by family solidarities and the gender system in the processes involved in putting down roots in rural spaces. To this end we consider two ethnographic cases, two life trajectories, of a man and a woman. They are coffee producers in southern Chiapas (Soconusco region) and belong to a generation, born around 1950, who lived two distinct historical moments: an initial socialization structured around agrarian production and the ejido; and beginning in the 1990s, in a new phase of their families’ life trajectories, this generation faces de-agriculturalization and individualization of the labor market and state intervention. The paper reveals the weight of gender roles in family solidarities, because men and women do not inherit the same resources nor the same obligations within families.
