Abstract

This article analyzes the role that communal values and structures play in facilitating women's ability to cope with the economic uncertainties brought about by the large-scale emigration of men from their communities. By focusing on a women's producer cooperative among the indigenous Hñähñu people in the state of Hidalgo, Mexico, the article reveals how the members of this cooperative have responded to global forces in local ways that allow them to preserve their communal ties and even strengthen their position in their indigenous community, while at the same time selectively appropriating ‘modern’ elements of technology, international marketing, and banking.
