| Sumario: | This article intends to show “accumulation by dispossession”, that defines Latin American economy today, as it is practice through the case of the indigenous community of Mezcala de la Asunción, located on the shore of Lake Chapala, Jalisco. Investors and authorities are pressing this small community to sell its communal lands for residential tourism, transgressing the agrarian law and the will of the mezcalenses. They go as far as to use violence and intervene in community dynamics. This whole dynamic is strengthening community ties and transforming the ethnic identity at Mezcala. |
