Abstract
Beginning in 1994, the indigenous communities of Mexico experienced a series of internal transformations. Reacting to the issues of a legal vacuum in legislation to deal with indigenous issues; the government’s attempts to deny recognition of indigenous rights; and the reevaluation of the indigenous in society, indigenous movements reformulated debates from questions of their community’s extreme poverty toward political demands. The Zapatista insurrection also precipitated new indigenous movements with new visions for Mexico. The convergence between the Zapatista rebellion and the struggles of indigenous peoples and communities also resulted in the spread of indigenous self-defense groups.
