“…The resulting political and humanitarian crisis lasted several months. One of its negative consequences was the collapse of the tourist industry in the central part of the state, which further exacerbated the animosities in the highly stratified, post-colonial society of Oaxaca (Goertzen, 2010;Garza Zepeda, 2016). The US financial crisis of 2008, followed by the swine flu panic of 2009, and the poor international image in the wake of the Mexican government's "war on drugs" (ongoing since 2006) further contributed to the deterioration of the state's image as a tourist destination.…”

Through multi-sited fieldwork carried out in 2011 and 2014-17 in central Oaxaca and an analysis of secondary sources, this paper scrutinizes the rise of a culinary celebrity, Zapotec cook Abigail Mendoza Ruíz of Teotitlán del Valle, Oaxaca, in the broader context of a Mexican cultural politics of food as heritage. Focusing on food-related biography this essay reveals vernacular dynamics of heritagization of native foodways and the role renowned female cooks (cocineras) have played in this process. I scrutinize negotiations and contestations as well as open conflicts related to the representation of heritage, the politics and rights between different actors engaged over the years in (re)constructing a social imagery of ethnic female cooking for the benefits of the tourism industry, and, more broadly, state attempts at re-branding Mexico as a safe gastronomic destination.

COVID-19 is a challenge for indigenous communities in Mexico. Social inequalities and limited access to services combine with historical patterns of discrimination to amplify its negative impacts. Nevertheless, there are important ways in which indigenous communities organise and respond. Our paper, organised in three parts, summarises these challenges as well as the response. In the first section, we introduce indigenous Oaxaca and the challenges facing indigenous communities. In the second section, we note the ways in which indigenous communities rely on their traditions in response to the pandemic and limitations they face. In the third and concluding section, we argue that the social inequalities that define indigenous life in Oaxaca must be acknowledged in order to create an effective public health response to COVID-19.
