Paper long abstract:

Jaliscan Highlands conform a region in the eastern part of Mexico, studied for the first time in 1973 by a team of researchers leaded by Andres Fabregas. It was the first time Anthropologists approached the charro culture as an object of study, since traditional Anthropology developed in Mexico centered on indigenous people and urban problems. 25 years later, Fabregas revisited the region, this time together with Pedro Tome. The region had undergone deep transformations because of the large production of Tequila and eggs. But Anthropology was also different in many ways. Furthermore, in this revistitation we had the contrast of a native (Fabregas) and a foreigner (Tome) perspective; the message "it wasn`t this way before" on the one hand, and "it's different in…", on the other hand.
