While the literature on indigenous political mobilization in Latin America is now quite extensive, relatively little has been published on why ethnic mobilization has not occurred in some indigenous regions. In this paper, I examine a case where there is very little mobilization and organization around ethnic identity: Yucatán, Mexico. I begin with a political history of Yucatán, comparing and contrasting it with neighboring Chiapas state. I then argue that ethnic mobilization in Yucatán is significantly limited by a lack of robust organizational networks available to potential activists. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
