Not Ours Alone : Patrimony, Value, and Collectivity in Contemporary Mexico, Paperback / softback Book

Not Ours Alone : Patrimony, Value, and Collectivity in Contemporary Mexico Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Elizabeth Ferry explores how members of the Santa Fe Cooperative, a silver mine in Mexico, give meaning to their labor in an era of rampant globalization.

She analyzes the cooperative's practices and the importance of patrimonio (patrimony) in their understanding of work, tradition, and community.

More specifically, she argues that patrimonio, a belief that certain resources are inalienable possessions of a local collective passed down to subsequent generations, has shaped and sustained the cooperative's sense of identity.
