Cooperative rural development depends upon successful mobilization of labor, yet securing labor power for commodity production proves exceptionally difficult. The dissertation examines cooperativist strategies of labor mobilization in Santa Cruz, a Chinantec community of Oaxaca, Mexico. A group of villagers confronted with sharply declining real incomes form a co-op dedicated to producing commodities (e.g. furniture) that require technical knowledge and investment capital beyond the capacity of individual peasant households. After initial successes in infrastructure provision, the co-op encounters difficulty in securing a steady work force. Without a consistent supply of labor power, co-op projects founder. Despite setbacks, co-op members continue to acquire additional labor-saving technologies and technical knowledge. A high degree of cooperativist commitment and skill level makes their inability to mobilize an adequate labor supply all the more puzzling: why are cooperativists unable to secure sufficient labor power?Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Cooperative rural development depends upon successful mobilization of labor, yet securing labor power for commodity production proves exceptionally difficult. The dissertation examines cooperativist strategies of labor mobilization in Santa Cruz, a Chinantec community of Oaxaca, Mexico. A group of villagers confronted with sharply declining real incomes form a co-op dedicated to producing commodities (e.g. furniture) that require technical knowledge and investment capital beyond the capacity of individual peasant households. After initial successes in infrastructure provision, the co-op encounters difficulty in securing a steady work force. Without a consistent supply of labor power, co-op projects founder. Despite setbacks, co-op members continue to acquire additional labor-saving technologies and technical knowledge. A high degree of cooperativist commitment and skill level makes their inability to mobilize an adequate labor supply all the more puzzling: why are cooperativists unable to secure sufficient labor power?
520 $a Two sets of conflicts weaken the co-op's ability to mobilize labor. In the first instance households, the co-op and the village commune struggle over allocation of labor power to their respective institutional projects. Conflicting time-geographies of labor utilization intensify labor scarcity. The principal locus of intra-village conflict occurs between co-op and household: while women are supportive of the cooperativist ideal they are reticent to shoulder additional work obligations in order to smooth labor supply to co-op production tasks. In the second instance cooperativists confront a conundrum of worker-ownership; cooperativists must find methods of evaluating and sanctioning each other that do not compromise co-op organizational integrity. Cooperativists of Santa Cruz have developed important solutions to cooperative problems: surveillance (information gathering) is enhanced by restructuring commodity production geography, and sanctions are assessed by techniques appropriated from local Chinantec communal culture. Cooperativists nevertheless confront a dilemma of cooperative rural development: cooperative commodity production utilizing new labor-saving technologies requires an unanticipated transformation of local social relations. Men and women must renegotiate household gender task divisions and cooperativists must accept co-op-imposed structures of surveillance and sanctions.
