Descripción:During the 1930s the distribution of agricultural land began in Chiapas, which brougth to light the complicated demographic reality of the border zone with Guatemala. On the one hand, there was an important number of Guatemalan workers, and on the other hand, many of those who had been born in the area did not have the documents necessary to prove their nationality. In order to decide who was eligible to receive the land, the Mexican state was faced with the huge task of putting in order the nationality of thousands of the area’s inhabitants, which then led to important discussions regarding what it meant to be Mexican citizen on the southern border. This article analyzes the «demographic problem», as authorities called it, as well as agricultural, work, and political conflicts derived from this situation.
