Esta serie de cuatro tomos es el resultado final del Seminario Internacional sobre Nuevos Procesos Rurales que se llevo a cabo del 30 de mayo al 3 de junio de 1994 en Taxco, Guerrero. La temática del congreso fue amplia, tratando de abarcar el conjunto de problemas y tendencias que despuntan en el campo en este fin de milenio. Esto nos llevo a rebasar la tradicional problemática sobre la cuestión agraria, o campesina, para referirnos al medio rural y su nueva relación con la industria y el mundo urbano. En este cuarto tomo presentamos algunos estudios de caso de la acción de los actores frente a la política gubernamental. En este libro se reafirma el planteamiento hecho en el I de esta serie que propone que los actores tienen la capacidad de moldear y darle una configuración regional a las macropoliticas. De los estudios aquí reunidos se desprende un nuevo panorama de la situación social en el campo. Existe una amplia dispersión de los procesos de organización, los grandes frentes nacionales (o centrales) se ven desplazados por procesos locales de organización, por lo tanto las demandas económicas y los procesos de negociación se pulverizan y se resuelven “caso por caso”. Pero también surgen, con fuerza inaudita, nuevas demandas de corte político que pueden servir de punto de unidad nacional para volver a cohesionar el movimiento social, tanto en el campo como en la ciudad: la democracia, los derechos humanos, la justicia social entendida como la existencia de un Estado capaz de asegurar las necesidades básicas de alimentación, servicios y educación de la población.

Neoliberalism and Commodity Production in Mexico details the impact of neoliberal practice on the production and exchange of basic resources in working-class communities in Mexico. Using anthropological investigations and a market-driven approach, contributors explain how uneven policies have undermined constitutional protections and working-class interests since the Mexican Revolution of 1910. Detailed ethnographic fieldwork shows how foreign investment, privatization, deregulation, and elimination of welfare benefits have devastated national industries and natural resources and threatened agriculture, driving the campesinos and working class deeper into poverty. Focusing on specific commodity chains and the changes to production and marketing under neoliberalism, the contributors highlight the detrimental impacts of policies by telling the stories of those most affected by these changes. They detail the complex interplay of local and global forces, from the politically mediated systems of demand found at the local level to the increasingly powerful municipal and state governments and the global trade and banking institutions. Sharing a common theoretical perspective and method throughout the chapters, Neoliberalism and Commodity Production in Mexico is a multi-sited ethnography that makes a significant contribution to studies of neoliberal ideology in practice.
