Las Abejas: Constructing syncretic identities of resistance in the Highlands of Chiapas, Mexico. - 297 p.

Director: Fred Kniss.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Loyola University Chicago, 2001.

This ethnographic work is based on the Zapatista sympathizing indigenous organization called Las Abejas (The Bees). Like other indigenous groups in the Highlands of Chiapas, Mexico, Las Abejas is a protagonist actor in the nonviolent struggle of resistance and in the search for democracy, land, autonomy and cultural dignity. Las Abejas became internationally known when a paramilitary group massacred 45 of its members, mainly women and children, in the mountain hamlet of Acteal, on December 22, 1997. Since then, human rights organizations have recognized and supported the group's use of dialogue and nonviolent methods to resolve conflicts between the indigenous communities and landowners.

520 $a This ethnographic work is based on the Zapatista sympathizing indigenous organization called Las Abejas (The Bees). Like other indigenous groups in the Highlands of Chiapas, Mexico, Las Abejas is a protagonist actor in the nonviolent struggle of resistance and in the search for democracy, land, autonomy and cultural dignity. Las Abejas became internationally known when a paramilitary group massacred 45 of its members, mainly women and children, in the mountain hamlet of Acteal, on December 22, 1997.

520 $a This study shows how intensifying local and global networks of communications influence the formation and transformation of collective identity and actions of resistance. By looking at four emerged frameworks, namely culture, religion, politics, and human rights, the author shows how "syncretism" is a useful tool for interpreting the construction of indigenous movement's identity and actions expressed between the local and the global. Las Abejas' emerging identity as Tzotzil-Mayan, Catholic-Christian, pro-Zapatista and as a human-indigenous rights movement is influenced by the frequent networks of communication that the movement uses at the local, national and international levels in its effort to resist with nonviolent means. This study explains how the cultural, religious, political, human rights and nonviolent frameworks are combined and reframed in what is called a syncretic identity of resistance.
