In this project Dr. Collier, an anthropologist at Stanford                      University, will complete longitudinal research on                              stratification among the Highland Maya of southeastern Mexico.                  The region has changed dramatically during the 1970's                           oil-driven development boom and the 1980's economic crisis.                     During the boom the study population, Indians of Zinacantan,                    shifted out of mid-century occupations as peasant corn farmers                  into a more complex mix of wage-work, transport and commerce,                   and agriculture using chemical fertilizer and pesticides.                       Using ethnographic methods, interviews and systematic records                   of household and production budgets, the project will document                  changes in Zanacanteco production and allied socio-cultural                     changes in marriage patterns and the ritual office system.                      This research will illuminate the role of peasantries in recent                 capitalist agrarian development in Mexico and will offer                        important alternatives to current thinking about the nature of                  highland Maya culture and social organization. Most previous                    studies in this area did not analyze the political economy of                   the Indian's relations with the larger economy and polity, thus                 Dr. Collier's research will add a valuable dimension to a large                 corpus of studies.
