The Winds of Ixtepej World View & Society in a Zapotec Town (1972) anthropology

Description: This case study deals primarily with the world view and social organization in the Zapotec town of Ixtepeji in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. The world view is represented by five basic propositions, through which Dr. Kearney expresses underlying motivations prevailing in the system, and in turn relates these to the structural context. In his analysis, the author interrelates folk beliefs and practices with underlying world view. The study is within the realm of cognitive anthropology as the author continually asks, "How do the people perceive their situation?" He depicts their view of reality with interview data and case histories.
