| Sumario: | This paper analyzes the process of emergence of a Muslim community of Tzotzil origin, located in Los Altos de Chiapas, a region located in the southeast of Mexico. Its development is crossed by a long process of religious conversion, which has not been exempt from violence, marginalization and social displacement and which has as its precedent a first conversion of Protestant origin. An ethnographic and historical approach to the different phases of this process is presented, identifying the forms of fragmentation and creation of new communities and mosques. For the investigation, interview work was developed, collection of testimonial sources, photographic record, ethnography and use of documentary sources. |
