Journal Article
Social Categories, Ethnicity and the State in Yucatán, Mexico
2001
Overview
This article discusses the development of social categories and
ethnicity in the peninsula of Yucatán, Mexico, since the Conquest in the
sixteenth century. Based on the Yucatec case, it demonstrates that
ethnicity is not a ubiquitous form of social organisation, but rather a
historical process related to specific techniques of social distinction. It
argues that the starting point for the analysis of ethnicity should not be
ethnic collectives, but instead the ways in which individuals use ethnic
categories in social interaction.
