The choice to cooperate and enter into reciprocal relationships is a decision influenced by material and ideological forces and motivated by individual needs, experiences and desires. This study focuses on the role of cooperation and reciprocity in the changing economy of Santa Ana del Valle, Oaxaca, Mexico. Over the past twenty years, Santaneros (the people of Santa Ana) have moved from a predominantly agricultural base of production to combining family farming, commercial weaving and transnational migration. Changes have also occurred in the structure of cooperation. Villagers manipulate and reinvent traditional relationships, including compadrazgo (godparenthood), guelaguetza (reciprocal gift giving), tequio (communal labor), and servicio (participation in local government), to meet new situations. To understand this process of reproduction and invention, the study is framed in a practice-centered approach. This approach moves away from the description of abstract social structures and towards the analysis of the ways in which people enact social life and contest cultural knowledge. Using a practice-centered approach, I begin with a review of the articulation of transnational markets and the village economy through history. Next, I explore the structure and reproduction of cooperative relationships in village life; the contest for prestige in the community; and how these relationships change in response to increasing involvement with global markets, transnational migration, and national development policies. Finally, I review new forms of cooperation (ranging from associations structured around sports, community government, and institutions of the state such as the village's Shan-Dany museum) and the reinvention of Santanero civil society. Ethnographic evidence from Santa Ana demonstrates that traditional cooperative relationships are not necessarily abandoned in a changing economy. In fact, the data from Santa Ana suggest that villagers use these relationships to deal with social and economic change, to make sense of the world, and even to resist external exploitation.Subjects--Topical Terms:
