Research project funded by ICIP wins new award in Mexico

Ignacio Iturralde’s dissertation Comunidades encadenadas. Análisis de la cultura política y el caciquismo en un distrito de Oaxaca (1915-2014) has received the Jan de Vos Award for best doctoral thesis in the history of South-East Mexico, granted by the Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios Superiores en Antropología Social (CIESAS) and the Colegio de la Frontera Sur (ECOSUR) in Mexico. Iturralde received an FI-ICIP research grant for novice researchers to conduct this thesis.
For this same dissertation, Iturralde was granted the 2016 INAH Award last September, an award presented annually by the Ministry of Culture of the Government of Mexico.
While working on his doctoral thesis, Iturralde published the paper Autonomy, Community and Caciquismo: Ethnicity, Social Control and Violence in a Mixe Village in Oaxaca, Mexico in the ICIP Working Paper collection (published also in Spanish).
