Connecting with land: knowledge production and transfer in a Maya Tzotzil Muslim community in Chiapas, Mexico.

Using oral histories of three generations of a Tzotzil Maya Muslim family in Chiapas, Mexico, this paper examines how these members navigate and make meaning of their different identities as their traditional knowledge systems have been disrupted by land dispossession and displacement. This storied process illustrates the knowledge production and transferal processes while underscoring the critical relationship with the land that intertwines with identity formation and knowledge production of three generations of this Maya Muslim community.
