Through interviews with three generations of Yalálag Zapotecs ("Yaláltecos") in Los Angeles and Yalálag, Oaxaca, this book examines the impact of international migration on this community. It traces five decades of migration to Los Angeles in order to delineate migration patterns, community formation in Los Angeles, and the emergence of transnational identities of the first and second generations of Yalálag Zapotecs in the United States, exploring why these immigrants and their descendents now think of themselves as Mexican, Mexican Indian immigrants, Oaxaqueños, and Latinos-identities they did not claim in Mexico. Based on multi-site fieldwork conducted over a five-year period, Adriana Cruz-Manjarrez analyzes how and why Yalálag Zapotec identity and culture have been reconfigured in the United States, using such cultural practices as music, dance, and religious rituals as a lens to bring this dynamic process into focus. By illustrating the sociocultural, economic, and political practices that link immigrants in Los Angeles to those left behind, the book documents how transnational migration has reflected, shaped, and transformed these practices in both their place of origin and immigration.

La investigación se apoya en el archivo judicial de la rica alcaldía mayor de Villa Alta, donde cerca de un centenar de pueblos producía mantas y grana. Entre estas comunidades, la de Yasona - hoy Yatzona - permanece casi desconocida en la documentación antes de 1674 y después de 1707. Pero en ese corto periodo se manifiesta toda una serie de tensiones en lo interno y en lo regional. Los principales nobles (caciques) de Yasona toman la cabeza de dos bandos y manipulan formas rudimentarias de democracia, en pro y en contra de las tradiciones, de la Iglesia, de la autoridad del alcalde mayor. Desde Yasona intentan confederar la oposición política e integran la audiencia de México en su juego con el mecanismo de las reales provisiones. Con la tragedia de Cajonos en 1700, todo queda sesgado y Yasona se reincorpora en la pax hispanica… Durante un breve lapso este grupo humano vive tiempos difíciles ; el pueblo oculta sus prácticas religiosas, las elites se enfrentan y contaminan con sus luchas toda la provincia, las familias se desgarran, las mujeres a veces expresan un estoicismo digno de Sénéca.

Since 1989 an indigenous political movement—the Coalition of Workers, Peasants, and Students of the Isthmus (COCEI)—has governed the southern Mexican city of Juchitán. In Decentering the Regime, Jeffrey W. Rubin examines this Zapotec Indian movement and shows how COCEI forged an unprecedented political and cultural path—overcoming oppression in the 1970s to achieve democracy in the 1990s. Rubin traces the history and rise to power of this grassroots movement, and describes a Juchitán that exists in substantial autonomy from the central Mexican government and Mexican nationalism—thereby debunking the notion that a state- and regime-centered approach to power can explain the politics of domination and resistance in Mexico.Employing an interdisciplinary approach, Rubin shows that the Juchitecos’ ability to organize and sustain a radical political movement grew out of a century-long history of negotiation of political rule. He argues that factors outside the realm of formal politics—such as ethnicity, language, gender, and religion—play an important part in the dynamics of regional political struggles and relationships of power. While offering a detailed view of the Zapotec community and its interactions, Rubin reconceptualizes democracy by considering the question of how meaningful autonomy, self-government, cultural expression, and material well-being can be forged out of violence and repression.
