Presents an overview of Mexican social anthropoligist Ricardo Pozas Arciniega's influence on sociological theory, methodology, focus, & practice in Mexico, 1942-present. Pozas's major books & social projects helped focus Mexican political science on the struggles of the indigenous rural workers throughout the country, particularly in the south. His ethnographic studies in Chiapas incorporated new methods of analysis that examined structural cause & the dynamics between a people & their environment. His involvement with the construction of a terrace farming system in Chiapas illustrates his goals of creating a work environment that produces not only the project itself, but health, education, shelter, & other needs for the population involved.
