Abstract
Based on research carried out in Oaxaca City, Mexico, this paper centers on the childhoods experienced by a group of displaced children from San Agustn Loxicha in the Sierra Madre del Sur region of Oaxaca state. In 1996, police and military units swept through the region and arrested 150 men, accusing them of belonging to the Popular Revolutionary Army (Ejército Popular Revolucionario, or EPR). In 1997, claiming the innocence of their husbands, brothers, fathers and uncles, the women and children of Loxicha set up a protest camp in Oaxaca City's Zcalo (central plaza) where they remained for four and half years.
