CORBEIL, Laurent. The Mexican National Indigenous Affairs Institute in Oxchuc, 1951-1971. LiminaR [online]. 2013, vol.11, n.1, pp.57-72. ISSN 2007-8900.
This article analyzes the relationship between the National Indigenist Institute (INI) and the Tseltals of the municipality of Oxchuc, Chiapas, in the context of the Mexican state's attempts to integrate indigenous peoples into the nation. The study of reports from the INI and of the correspondence between both groups gives a perspective more open and nuanced on a project that often has been criticized. Even though the principal objective of the Oxchuqueros of developing the regional economy was not a success, there emergedforms of institutional, juridical, and educational integration. Notwithstanding the negative impacts of such integration, this study unscores the openness of both parties that led to the establishment of a positive dialogue.
