Violencia, etnicidad y religión entre los mayas del estado de Chiapas en México

Abstract

The rapid growth of different religions in the ethnic communities of Chiapas has resulted from intra-ethnic violence. At stake are the construction of a modern Indian reality based on religious pluralism; the preservation of ethnic differences in a larger national society; and the elimination of intraethnic violence justified in the name of catolicismo de la costumbre (popular Catholicism).
