El reclamo de autonomía para los pueblos indígenas se ha expresado de diferentes maneras en cada una de las entidades de México. En Oaxaca esta demanda se traslapa con las exigencias por una mayor independencia municipal. Paradójicamente para este caso, el municipio es un ámbito en el que contienden localidades que buscan el respeto a su gobierno y a sus formas de organización social. La localidad, sustentada en el territorio y otros contenidos identitarios, se ha conformado históricamente después de la conquista española. A lo largo del tiempo, enfrentando diversas vicisitudes, ha mantenido sus particularidades tanto legalmente como de facto. En este texto se describe el proceso mediante el cual se han forjado las autonomías locales y se argumenta que para el caso de Oaxaca la autonomía adquiere mayor relevancia en el nivel local comunitario.

THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AS A REAFFIRMATION OF INDIGENOUS AUTONOMYABSTRACTThe claim of autonomy for indigenous peoples is expressed differently in each Mexican state. In Oaxaca, this claim overlaps demands for greater municipal independence. Paradoxically, in this case, the municipality is an scope in which different local communities contend in search of respect for their own government and forms of social organization. Historically speaking, the local community, based on territory and other identity-related contents, was constituted after the Spanish Conquest. Throughout time, and facing various vicissitudes, the local community has maintained its specificities both legally and in practice. This article describes the process through which local autonomy has been forged and argues that in the case of Oaxaca, autonomy acquires greater relevance at the level of the local communities.

Out-migration might decrease the pressure of population on the environment, but what happens to the communities that manage the local environment when they are weakened by the absence of their members? In an era where community-based natural resource management has emerged as a key hope for sustainable development, this is a crucial question. Building on over a decade of empirical work conducted in Oaxaca, Mexico, Communities Surviving Migration identifies how out-migration can impact rural communities in strongholds of biocultural diversity. It reflects on the possibilities of community self-governance and survival in the likely future of limited additional migration and steady - but low - rural populations, and what different scenarios imply for environmental governance and biodiversity conservation. In this way, the book adds a critical cultural component to the understanding of migration-environment linkages, specifically with respect to environmental change in migrant-sending regions. Responding to the call for more detailed analyses and reporting on migration and environmental change, especially in contexts where rural communities, livelihoods and biodiversity are interconnected, this volume will be of interest to students and scholars of environmental migration, development studies, population geography, and Latin American studies.
