No. 8-9 (2019): XX Anniversary of Ethnography of the Indigenous Regions of Mexico. Contributions, Challenges and Retrospective Gazes

This special edition of Diario de Campo is dedicated to the 20th Anniversary of the National Ethnography Program of the Indigenous Regions of Mexico. In this double issue we present a dialogue, and at the same time a questioning about the ethnographic exercise of a Program that constituted a turn in the way of doing anthropology at INAH, due to the deployment of thematic lines to document the different areas of indigenous peoples –social organization, identity , territory, worldview, rituality, biocultural heritage, socio-environmental processes, inequality and discrimination–; and due to its national character, in which a hundred anthropologists participated conducting ethnographic research in regional teams throughout the country. The articles included in this special issue are part of the Program's memory, which is reviewed to reflect on the Program's contributions to anthropology, to INAH, to the populations studied and society in general.
