Markets in Oaxaca is a study of the regional peasant marketing
system in the Valley of Oaxaca, Mexico. It relates the marketing
system to other aspects of the regional economy, to neighboring
regions, and to the Mexican national economy. Combining
ethnographic, theoretical, and regional analyses, it suggests new
directions in the fields of peasant and development studies.
Contributors to the volume describe the operation and nature of
several marketplaces in the region, analyze village-based artisan
production and various specialized economic roles (particularly the
role of traders), and describe the operation of several total
regional marketing systems. The editors then consider their
findings against the background of political, economic, and social
structures from the pre-Conquest period to the present. In their
conclusion, the editors find the regional peasant economy to be
responsive both to the influence of the urban metropolitan sector,
on the one hand, and to its own indigenous structural integrity and
internal dynamism, on the other. In addition to the editors, the
contributors to Markets in Oaxaca are Ralph L. Beals, Richard L.
Berg Jr., Beverly Chinas, Herbert M. Eder, Charlotte Stolmaker,
Carole Turkenik, John C. Warner, Ronald Waterbury, and Cecil R.
Welte. Their essays combine analyses of the elements of the system
within a comprehensive theoretical framework. Together, they
present a complete and integrated view of a peasant economy.
