Some Specific Aspects of the Tzeltal Colonization in the Lacandone Forest.
The Tzeltal migration in Chiapas, Mexico, is an interesting example for many reasons. It shows the extreme disintegration of the traditional structure of the old indegenous lands. It also testifies to the Tzeltal's spontaneous and definite will to find a place that might compensate the many forms of deprivations endured by the Indian societies in Latin America.
The article does not discuss all the events experienced by the Tzeltal peasantry, but only their specific aspects and particularly the contradictions they have known ; then it tries to show how the new communities' plans for living in the forest were made impossible as soon as the area was given clear productive aims by the national society. The settlers' coercive authority and the gathering of thousands of them, have neutralized and distorted the collective plan of the migrant natives ; they have also allowed an incoherent and preposterous intervention which has placed the natives in an extreme situation, an impasse which irrevocably impairs their conquest of an autonomous status.
