LAND RECUPERATION AND CONFLICT ON THE MARGINS OF STATE FORMATION IN NORTHERN CHIAPASFootnote¹

1. This article draws on doctoral research undertaken between October 2001 and June 2003. The first period of fieldwork (until July 2002) was funded by the University of Manchester, whereas the second period was completed thanks to a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research (Gr. 6934). I thank the other contributors to this issue and the two anonymous Identities reviewers for their insightful comments.
