• W28807057 abstract "Tearing Down Our House? testimony begins: May 14, 1997: Just after daybreak, police forces broke into Villa Flora, whose owner is the sister of the president of the Association for a Traditional Puebla, [Agustin] Ochoa, who is beaten by police dressed in civilian clothing. house is taken and the residents, after a tense day, seem ready to leave the building. That night, a police action of enormous proportions fills the alley known as the Estanque de los Pescaditos ...our turn. May 15: In the early hours of the morning, the families Ramirez Stefanon, Lopez Armenta del Valle, and Lopez Armenta Aguilar watch as judicial officials wearing civilian clothes give orders to police in the street, only a few meters from our houses: they tell them to put up a metal barrier and station police in front of our doors so we can't leave.... All the entrances to the alley are also blocked [off]. [police force] includes individuals dressed all in black, with faces covered by balaclavas; they surround the buildings, flattening themselves against the walls. It is difficult to assess how many there are, but they have encircled the entire block, assisted by the darkness of night and their clothing. There are at least 500, maybe even 800, but what is certain is that the display of force is inordinate: we are no more than a few defenseless families confined to our homes, but who nonetheless deserve the treatment usually reserved for dangerous criminals (Maria Elena Stefanon, 1997). If informed, and correctly so, that these events took place in contemporary Mexico, Chiapas would immediately spring to mind as the likely location. There, the army, police forces, and paramilitary have actively pursued a systematic policy of encircling autonomous municipalities under cover of night, and then moving in to prosecute a house-to-house search for those who have attacked the juridical basis of the Mexican state, in the words of Governor Roberto Albores Guillen (Mariscal, 1998). final act of the army, as they shepherd their prisoners off to jail, is to dismantle the structures that defiantly declared this public space free and clear of government interference. As Maria Elena Stefanon's (1997) testimony continues, it strengthens the Chiapas hypothesis: appearance of bulldozers alarms us. We grab the telephone: we call family and friends, and we try to call the press. last call is to the Main Armenta family, who live next door: The bulldozers are going toward your house, we manage to say, but the message ends there: the line has been cut.. we are left totally incommunicado.... From my kitchen window, on the [third] floor, we see the blinding lights of the bulldozers as they invade the Main Armenta' s property. lights seem even brighter because the electricity has been cut off. It is two a.m. From the shadows, their cries reach us: tearing down our house! They're tearing it down! ...We feel impotent as we watch, and within a few hours, their homes and the few belongings they manage to salvage are thrown carelessly into trucks. By daylight the eviction and destruction of their home are over. Perhaps mention of a telephone, the press, and a third floor belie the supposition that these events took place in a remote, rural area. It is true, they did not. Yet neither did they occur in an illegal settlement on the periphery of a city, nor on farmland invaded by poor families lacking the economic means to purchase homes. These actions were perpetrated by the government of the state of Puebla, Mexico, to expropriate private property so as to construct a convention center and tourist complex in the heart of its capital city, also known as Puebla. people terrorized by the police were the legal owners of parcels their families had purchased over a century ago, and that comprised the sole heritage of the Lopez-Marin-Armenta families. When I read about these events in the newspaper, I, too, asked: What accounted for the overwhelming show of force, the violent eviction under cover of night, and the destruction of people's homes and livelihoods? …" @default.
