| Sumario: | This work is a comparative study of several Mazahua
communities experiencing varying degrees of cultural erosion. It
refers to the social links established between the nuclear family, the
extended family through the paternal line and the traditional civic
religious hierarchies that form one kind of social organization
peculiar to the Mazahua ethnic group. This group posits their
cosmological bases on a cultural matrix dating back to pre
columbian and colonial times. Notwithstanding the presence of that
cultural matrix, the communities manifest different kinds of social
organization that the author perceives as having evolved as a
consequence of the destructuration of the system of kinship. The
origin of that system resides in the social differentiation leading to
new forms of organization, that priviledge the ritual kinship over
the kinship of blood ties. |
