Se defienden purépechas
Imponen en Michoacán medidas de autodefensa

28-10-2012
Los de Urapicho no son los únicos. Otras ocho comunidades de la Meseta Purépecha decidieron también protegerse de las mafias ante la inacción del Gobierno. Mientras se escuchan las razones de los comuneros de armarse para proteger su pueblo, un taxi es detenido en la carretera. Como pasajeras van una mujer y una niña. El conductor es interrogado por los hombres armados, quienes observan a la mujer y luego le piden que regrese por donde vino. La mujer protesta aduciendo que la esperan familiares. Es inútil. "No puede pasar", le dicen y ordenan al taxista dar vuelta. Cuando el taxi se retira se les pregunta por qué no lo dejaron pasar. "La señora tiene relaciones con la gente que nos amenazó y no sabemos si lleva algún mensaje para alguien de adentro. Conocemos a todos los de la comunidad y tenemos que estar seguros", contesta uno de los comuneros de esta localidad del municipio de Paracho. Las estrictas medidas de seguridad no son gratuitas ni excesivas. El pasado 13 de agosto fueron encontrados en las cercanías del poblado los cuerpos de dos integrantes de "Los Caballeros Templarios". Uno era Mauricio Cuitláhuac Hernández, El Güero Cuitláhuac, quien hace cuatro años mandó matar a 14 indígenas de la zona purépecha que denunciaron la tala ilegal, actividad de la que aquél era líder. A partir de la muerte de uno de los jefes de este grupo del crimen organizado todo el pueblo recibió amenazas de muerte; los acusaron de traidores. Pero así como Urapicho ya decidió formar su grupo de autodefensa ciudadana, siguiendo los pasos de Urío en 2008 y Cherán en 2011, ahora los comuneros de Santa Fe de la Laguna, Turícuaro, Comachen, Arantepecua, Quiriseo y Sevina hacen lo mismo por la amenaza permanente del crimen organizado que en Michoacán es la autoridad en muchas zonas. Desde hace unos años, la Meseta Purépecha ha sido asolada por los dos principales grupos criminales del estado, "La Familia" y "Los Caballeros Templarios". Según varios testimonios recogidos en la zona, estos grupos se metieron a las comunidades ofreciendo despensas, apoyos económicos, protección y trabajo a los jóvenes. Su influencia no está sólo en la producción y venta de drogas sino en la tala clandestina, la extorsión a comerciantes y productores de aguacate y la venta de discos de música y películas piratas. Urapicho es uno de estos pueblos cuya vida cambió por la presencia del crimen organizado. Si antes eran libres de desplazarse a Estados Unidos o a cualquier parte de Michoacán para trabajar, ahora prefieren quedarse en el pueblo por las amenazas de muerte que les lanzaron. "Con estos acontecimientos que hemos venido atravesando, parte de la población está en el desempleo. Ya no salen a trabajar por las amenazas que tenemos. Nos dedicamos principalmente a la agricultura, la siembra de maíz de temporal, cultivo de avena como forraje y en ocasiones con programas de gobierno tenemos trabajos temporales de reforestación, combate a incendios, podas. Así va saliendo adelante la comunidad. "Pero ahora muchos de los comuneros dejaron sus empleos por no sentirse seguros de salir a trabajar. Hay como 70 padres de familia que se quedaron sin trabajo y están batallando", dice un miembro del Consejo de Mayores, la máxima autoridad del pueblo. La barricada de costales está instalada en un pequeño montículo que ayuda a divisar la carretera. Está cubierta con un techo de plástico azul que con el aire se mueve como un papalote. Ahí aguarda un grupo de comuneros vestidos de civil y a un lado, escondido entre los árboles, hay otro grupo. Algunos de sus integrantes traen rifles de asalto AR-15, otros portan escopetas de caza. El Gobierno no escucha La entrevista con Proceso tiene lugar a las afueras del asentamiento, donde el líder de los comuneros llega provisto de un radio de comunicación. Pausado señala que todo el pueblo decidió formar el grupo de defensa y que en él sólo participarían los padres de familia, porque a los jóvenes no se les pude dar una responsabilidad tan peligrosa. "Como es sabido, en los pueblos de varias comunidades se gobierna a través de las decisiones de las asambleas; lo que la gente decide es lo que se hace. Nosotros a través de una asamblea hemos decidido guardar la seguridad del pueblo. Aquí tenemos como mil 500 habitantes", precisa. Menciona que ya otros pueblos decidieron formar sus propias policías comunitarias, como Cherán y Urío; aunque son casos distintos aclara que hay cierta relación porque todo está bajo la misma amenaza del crimen organizado que se manifestó en varios lugares. "No es que los vayamos a combatir. Sabemos que el Presidente de la República ha hecho el esfuerzo de combatirlos, pero ha sido imposible. Sin embargo nosotros queremos poner nuestro granito de arena desde nuestra comunidad para no permitir que este pueblo y sus habitantes vayan a perderse, a caer en este tipo de errores." Mientras sus compañeros van y vienen por los costados de la carretera y revisan los vehículos que entran, el representante del Consejo de Mayores dice que buscan el diálogo con el Gobierno estatal como primera instancia para hacerles ver la necesidad de que les ayuden a fortalecer la seguridad tras las amenazas del crimen organizado. "Ya solicitamos una audiencia con el Secretario de Gobierno (Jesús Reyna) y con el mismo Gobernador (Fausto Vallejo) para que pongan atención a esta situación que estamos atravesando; sin embargo han pasado más de dos meses y no hemos tenido una respuesta todavía", expresa. Indica que la primera demanda en una reunión con el Gobernador sería fortalecer la seguridad en la comunidad y que los doten de una patrulla comunitaria. Nunca han tenido una. Pero aclara que el hecho de que busquen su propia seguridad no implica que estén en desacuerdo o rechacen los operativos policiales o del Ejército en Michoacán. * Pero si después del dialogo con el gobierno ven que no les importa, ¿qué van a hacer? Creo que estaríamos ante una situación difícil, porque si el gobierno no se interesa por los problemas de su propia gente, entonces a quién acudimos. Somos parte de este pueblo, de este estado, de esta nación y no estamos exigiendo nada fuera de lo normal, sólo nuestros derechos como ciudadanos. Tenemos derecho de exigir garantías. Eso es lo que pensamos. No hemos tomado ningún otro tipo de acción porque esperamos una respuesta, una solución. Días después de la entrevista se publicó en los medios locales que batallones del Ejército había reforzado los rondines en el poblado. Solos no podemos Mientras en los aparatos de radio se escuchan voces informando sobre los rondines, el representante del consejo comunitario admite que no tienen armamento, dinero para comprar armas de alto poder ni hombres para enfrentar al crimen organizado. Por eso insisten en tener la presencia del Ejército en su localidad. "No contamos con las suficientes armas y no son de alto poder. No tenemos los recursos para sostener a la familia y comprar un arsenal. Lo que nosotros tratamos de hacer es mantenernos alertas, vigilando." * ¿No han recibido mensajes del crimen organizado? Creo que ellos ya lo saben de alguna manera, porque no sólo estamos en la entrada sino que hacemos los recorridos en varias partes de la región. Eso se hace notar y creo que estos grupos saben que también está el Ejército. * ¿La policía que quieren sería como la comunitaria de Cherán? Sí. Ahora vemos cómo está funcionando la policía de Cherán. Desde el momento en que el gobierno la formó, la instruyó y preparó ya se sienten más seguros, recuperaron la confianza. De igual manera nosotros vemos que es el ejemplo a seguir, es el proceso que hay que realizar para tener nuestra propia policía. Esto no quiere decir que nos estemos separando de la seguridad nacional. Seguridad propia En Michoacán algunas comunidades han optado por integrar sus cuerpos de seguridad. * Urapicho * Urío * Cherán * Santa Fe de la Laguna * Turícuaro * Comachen * Arantepecua * Quiriseo *Sevina | ||||||||||||||

U.S. Border Patrol is Being Investigated
For years, the Border Patrol has killed without consequence, but things could finally be changing, and it's because of you.
Over 36,000 of you stepped up and demanded justice after you watched a video of Anastasio Hernandez-Rojas crying and pleading for his life while being beaten and tased to death by the Border Patrol. Now, as a direct result, the Department of Homeland Security's Office of the Inspector General is reviewing the enforcement practices of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.1
This could be the beginning of the end of Border Patrol agents killing unarmed border residents without fear of retribution. This is what happens when tens of thousands of us raise our voices together.
Now that the Border Patrol is feeling the heat, we can push to bring justice for Anastasio and his family by letting the federal government know that a general investigation is not enough. The Border Patrol agents who beat and teased Anastasio to death need to be held accountable.
Can you help us recruit 50,000 people to commit to justice for Anastasio by sharing the petition you signed on Facebook?
Shockingly, at least 19 more people have been killed since Anastasio was beaten and teased to death.2 Getting justice for Anastasio is the first step towards ending needless killings of innocent people by the Border Patrol.
If you're not on Facebook, email your friends and family and ask them to sign the petition. Send them the following link, and we'll include the original email we sent you about Anastasio, below:
Thanks and ¡adelante! Ana, Gabriela, Arturo, and the rest of the Presente.org Team

Opening The Blinds: Talking race, sex and class at UT Austin:
Opening The Blinds: Talking race, sex and class at UT Austin:
What: Academic Panel Presentation
When: Tuesday, October 30
Time: 10:00 a.m. – Noon
Where: BUR 214
While college is sold to everyone as the key to a better life, it can often be a violent experience for students who do not fit neatly in our imagined community. The interactions between students of color, female students, and low SES students with their peers, professors, TAs, and UT staff are filled with messages that question their right to be here. This is because the UT community negotiates their integration into a campus that has been shaped by whiteness, heteropatriarchy, and middle-class values. The recent bleach-bombings of students of color in West Campus, the race-themed Greek parties, and the Fisher versus Texas case are all examples of resistance to the presence of students who do not fit the imagined white, male-centered and middle-class college campus.
As a response to these recent developments, the Sociology Department at The University of Texas at Austin invites you to a panel presentation and discussion to promote an understanding of issues of race, sex/gender and class at UT Austin. Through an interdisciplinary and intersectional lens, the presenters will provide much needed perspectives to contextualize the eruption of racial, gender and class violence on campus. Come participate in the conversation and help us answer: What can we learn from the experiences of students of color, female students, and working class students on campus? Why do we experience microaggressions along the lines of race, gender and class? What can scholars and members of the UT community do to transform the campus racial, gender and class climate?
Panelists:
- Marleen Villanueva, Spanish, WGS and NAISA Senior, member of La Colectiva Femenil
- Marianna Anaya, Mexican American Studies Senior, member of La Colectiva Femenil
- Juan Portillo, PhD Student in Sociology
- Ganiva Reyes, PhD Student in Cultural Studies in Education
- Rocio Villalobos, MA, Cultural Studies in Education, UT Alum and Program Coordinator for the Multicultural Engagement Center
Moderator: Dr. Christine Williams, Chair of Sociology
Call for Papers
Educational Studies Special Issue
Eco-Democratic Reforms and Education
Guest Editors:
Steven Wade Mackie, Northwestern Oklahoma State University
swmackie@nwosu.edu
Jeff Edmundson, University of Oregon
jeffreye@uoregon.edu
In the midst of accelerating ecological and community crises, there is
no better time to consider the potential for educational reforms that
understand that the two are intertwined. As work in Ecojustice theory
has shown, the same forces that undermine community, diverse cultures
and democracy also endanger our ecosystems. These modern, globalizing
forces, rooted in domination, create educational institutions that
serve only to reproduce the unsustainable culture that threatens all
species on the planet.
Rooted in Vandana Shiva’s concept of Earth Democracy, eco-democratic
reforms challenge these forces, and offer a vision of democracy that
includes the more-than-human world as a rightful partner to humans.
Eco-democratic thinking recognizes our fundamental interdependence on
other species, focuses on the value of local cultures and economies
and promotes local and intergenerational knowledge.
In this special issue we seek papers that explore both the actuality
and the potential of eco-democratic reforms. We seek case studies of
eco-democratic reforms in action—in schools as well as other venues—as
well as theoretical papers that develop the groundwork for creating
educational innovations. We are interested in papers that consider
indigenous peoples who are striving to create or rebuild
eco-democratic cultures, even if the people do not use that name. We
also welcome papers that compare those reforms that offer a
fundamental challenge to our unsustainable culture versus those that
make minor changes.
To submit manuscripts please use our online submission and review
system at Manuscript Central: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.
Be sure to include a note that your submission is for the Special
Issue on Eco-Democratic Reforms and Education. For more information,
please contact Steven Wade Mackie,
swmackie@nwosu.edu or Jeff Edmundson, jeffreye@uoregon.edu
Deadline for submission: February 1, 2013.

a plática with David Montejano

on
his new books:
Quixote's Soldiers:
A Local History of the Chicano Movement, 1966–1981
A Local History of the Chicano Movement, 1966–1981
and
Sancho's Journal:
Exploring the Political Edge with the Brown Berets
Exploring the Political Edge with the Brown Berets
In the mid-1960s, San Antonio, Texas, was a segregated city governed by an entrenched Anglo social and business elite. The Mexican American barrios of the west and south sides were characterized by substandard housing and experienced seasonal flooding. Gang warfare broke out regularly. Then the striking farmworkers of South Texas marched through the city and set off a social movement that transformed the barrios and ultimately brought down the old Anglo oligarchy. InQuixote's Soldiers, David Montejano uses a wealth of previously untapped sources, including the congressional papers of Henry B. Gonzalez, to present an intriguing and highly readable account of this turbulent period.
Montejano divides the narrative into three parts. In the first part, he recounts how college student activists and politicized social workers mobilized barrio youth and mounted an aggressive challenge to both Anglo and Mexican American political elites. In the second part, Montejano looks at the dynamic evolution of the Chicano movement and the emergence of clear gender and class distinctions as women and ex-gang youth struggled to gain recognition as serious political actors. In the final part, Montejano analyzes the failures and successes of movement politics.
Sancho’s Journal presents a rich ethnography of daily life among the “batos locos” (crazy guys) as they joined the Brown Berets and became associated with the greater Chicano movement. Montejano describes the motivations that brought young men into the group and shows how they learned to link their individual troubles with the larger issues of social inequality and discrimination that the movement sought to redress. He also recounts his own journey as a scholar who came to realize that, before he could tell this street-level story, he had to understand the larger history of Mexican Americans and their struggle for a place in U.S. society. Sancho’s Journal completes that epic story.

******************************
“Let the Characters Decide: A Strategy for Triggering Action and Raising Stakes in Stories” led by Ramona Reeves
Sometimes we have great ideas for characters, but it’s not always easy to get them off the couch and moving and acting in ways that raise the ante in a story. This workshop will focus on getting characters to act and make decisions in such a way that each decision is compounded by the ones that came before it. When characters make decisions, a set of events are often triggered, the pace of a story quickens, and the stakes are raised. If we’re successful, this approach will increase the tension in the story you bring to revise and will add more complexity to your characters.
Ramona Reeves has received a writer’s residency at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts and a fellowship from a A Room of Her Own. She has also been a finalist in the Austin Chronicle Short Story contest. She has published essays, poetry, fiction, and interviews. By day, she works as mild-mannered editor in Austin, Texas. By night, she writes and dreams.
“Writing in la lluvia: Writing like it’s your last day” led by Bárbara Renaud González
In this workshop, we will help each other swim in the river of fearlessness. It’s not about prizes or tamale stories (also good, but not what we are gonna do). In this workshop, we will help each other see ourselves a little better so that we find the dream of raining inside us. The best stories come from that rain, and this is why we’re here. And this is the only writing that will set us free.
Bárbara Renaud González is an award-winning writer, journalist, and activist. She is the author of the novel, Golondrina, Why Did You Leave Me? and Willie and the Flood/Su Voto es Su Voz, a children’s book on the life of Southwest Voter Registration and Education Project founder Willie Velasquez. Gonzalez’ essays and articles have appeared in The Nation, The Progressive, Ms., The Los Angeles Times and many others. Her commentaries have aired on National Public Radio’s “Morning Edition” and “Latino USA.”
