Description: "Explains cultural and institutional factors supporting use of violence to settle political differences among Trique-speaking inhabitants of northwest Oaxaca. For many years, leadership patterns, family and social organization, and traditions reinforced political violence. However, since 1970s, acculturation and bilingualism, outmigration due to violence, and increasing mestizo influence have promoted political mediation for conflict resolution and introduced new social and political institutions"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
