ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts covered in the preceding chapter of this book. The book discusses the varied sources of information from Amanalco reflect the interest in exploring interrelated themes, which revolve around youth rejecting a dominant cultural script tying them to the land and the complex meaning of the phrase 'Never more campesinos'. It also discusses the transforming cultural script of campesinos in new cultural spaces and the centrality of concept of tochantlaca, the core kin networks tying people to a set of named house compounds. The book emphasizes the interaction between the externally created ethnic notion of indigenismo versus the local shift from Indio to Indigena as a means of taking control and shaping Amanalco's ethnoscape. During succeeding decades, as substantial numbers of young adults began seeking full-time wage employment outside of Amanalco, this shift in both script and the cultural space of work transformed feelings about working the land and personal identity.
