What is Histories and Stories From Chiapas : Border Identities in Southern Mexico about?
"As a multi-layered history of power and identity in Chiapas, this study is without parallel. It offers a richly textured and well-documented history of how the Mam of Chiapas have constructed their own conceptions of identity and citizenship." --Virginia Garrard-Burnett, author of Protestantism in Guatemala: Living in the New Jerusalem The 1994 Zapatista uprising of Chiapas's Maya peoples against the Mexican government shattered the state myth that indigenous groups have been successfully assimilated into the nation. In this wide-ranging study of identity formation in Chiapas, A?da Hern?ndez delves into the experience of a Maya group, the Mam, to analyze how Chiapas's indigenous peoples have in fact rejected, accepted, or negotiated the official discourse on "being Mexican" and participating in the construction of a Mexican national identity. Hern?ndez traces the complex relations between the Mam and the national government from 1934 to the Zapatista rebellion. She investigates the many policies and modernization projects through which the state has attempted to impose a Mexican identity on the Mam and shows how this Maya group has resisted or accommodated these efforts.
