Thesis (Ph.D.)--Stanford University, 2004.

Through a twentieth-century ethnographic history of Huehuetla, a Totonac-majority municipality in the Sierra Norte de Puebla, Mexico, this dissertation explores the dissolution and reconstruction of regional socio-ecological orders. It pays abiding attention to the reciprocal influences among environmental change; state-region relations; histories and perceptions of community, economy, politics, and landscape; and religious thought and practice. The study analyzes the nature of human vulnerability in the Sierra, tracing out historical processes that have deepened Huehueteco insecurity over the course of the last century. Four factors feature here: the failure of coffee-led development strategies, political domination and conflict at several scales, resource deterioration from deforestation, population pressure, and chemically intensive production regimes, and natural hazard. Also, however, the study seeks to understand complex re-ordering processes in regional socio-ecological systems. Over the twentieth century, states, markets, grassroots organizations, and individual actors have either kept precarious economic and ecological systems afloat or transformed political economies and socio-environments, sometimes quite suddenly. Particularly in recent years, market failure, indigenous movements spanning the local and transnational, and an increasingly tenuous ecology have been driving communities to renew material and symbolic geographies. The results of roughly two years of qualitative and quantitative field research support the view that as actors and events have reconstituted the region with new centers of power and/or new development strategies, the outcome has typically been an ensemble combining "traditional" and "modern" elements of identity, culture, economy, and landscape. The study posits the concept "baroque modernities" to frame the imagined and lived experiences, the different materialities and types of agency, the heterogeneous spaces and times that go into the re-territorialization of the Sierra Norte.
