Las uniones «tempranas» en Chiapas, México

In this article the authoress addresses a recent experience of participatory action research (IAP) led by indigenous youth in three indigenous contexts of Chiapas Mexico. It is reflects on this research experience whose main documentary objective was the current configuration of the «early» unions, that is, those that happen when one or both members of the couple are under 18 years old. It is interesting to make visible the key dimensions of these unions (in a given context and time) as well as the role of indigenous youth as active subjects in the social construction of local knowledge.
