Abstract
■ Following William Roseberry, this article treats `local facts as world historical facts' in order to discuss the contours of a conflictive and contradictory process of proletarianization among stoneworkers, masons and maids in one peri-urban community of central Mexico. We analyze the dialectic of internal and external relationships that, over time, shaped social struggles on an uneven field of power in Santo Tomás Chautla (Puebla) before and after the 1994 peso devaluation. Proletarianization in Chautla is uneven, but has in every instance entailed a wider and deeper involvement with commodity production.
