Descripción
Sumario:The Mexican rural sector has undergone socio-productive changes, which are confronted through adaptations in life strategies. These strategies have been analyzed through systemic, ethno-biological, and gender, subsistence strategies of families from Amatenango del Valle, Chiapas; the role of peasant women in these strategies, and the elements that define that role. The diversified strategies have as their main components pottery and agriculture, activities in which women contribute in very significant way supporting the preservation of family production system and bio-cultural sustainability of life.
