Abstract
This paper examines the connections between globalization, economic trends, and generational patterns of marriage among Caste War Maya women in Quintana Roo, Mexico, during the twentieth century. Caste War Mayas descend from Mayas who participated in the Caste Wars of Yucatán during the mid-nineteenth century. These wars, purportedly based on caste or race, involved indigenous Maya struggles for autonomy and independence from the Mexican state of Yucatán, the longest and most successful indigenous resistance movement in the Americas. 1 The eastern-most portion of the Yucatán peninsula was controlled by Caste War Mayas, guided in their cause by miraculous crosses and saints, until Mexican president Porfirio Diaz took control in 1901.
