Suffering for justice in Chiapas: Religion and the globalization of ethnic identity

Heidi Moksnes

Examined here is the way in which the indigenous uprising in Chiapas has been able to mobilize international support by employing globally shared discourses to articulate collective identities and political demands. The focus is on the group of liberation theology Roman Catholics in San Pedro Chenalhó and their political association Las Abejas, today one of the most potent symbols of civil indigenous resistance in Chiapas. Of interest is how peasants use suffering as a key concept to position themselves within a global humanity. Evoking Christian ethics as well as international human rights legislation, they demand the right to live without suffering, and regard their political struggle as part of a global struggle for justice and peace.

La otra palabra: mujeres y violencia en Chiapas, antes y después de Acteal

Heidi Moksnes

importante para todas las mujeres de México, Harvey identifica tres factores significativos: la transformación del papel tradicional de las mujeres en los ejídos por la colonización; la incorporación de las mujeres en cooperativas de base en los sectores de agricultura y artesanía en San Cristobal; y la creación del EZLN (pp. 223–24). Finalmente, Harvey considera a la demanda de autonomía como una respuesta a la prolongada crisis del régimen estatal y a la extensión de la presencia de ejército mexicano y de violencia paramilitar en Chiapas: “The goal of indigenous autonomy can therefore be seen as a response to the crisis of the institutional sphere and the continuing absence of democratic guarantees in Chiapas” (p. 235). “One of the advantages of taking a historical approach is that it allows us to observe the evolution of peasant resistance over time,” concluye Harvey (p. 227). Esto debería también permitirnos no caer en la tentación de los mitos, la simplicidad de la improvisación política o periodística, o de muchos otros peligros absurdos. Para quien quiera aproximarse con seriedad al conflicto de Chiapas y al movimiento indígena y campesino de México, el libro de Harvey es de ahora en adelante indispensable.
