Thesis (Ph.D.)--Cornell University, 1996.

On Monday, July 10, 1994 over four thousand indigenous men, women and children peacefully marched into the Honduran capital carrying small children on their backs and singing religious songs. They called this event the Pilgrimage for Life, Justice and Liberty. On Friday, July 14, President Reina signed a fifty-two point plan, which included nearly all of the pilgrims' demands. During the eighteen months following the pilgrimage, San Francisco de Opalaca became the focus of a flurry of development activity as local leaders and external organizations attempted to sustain and build on the mobilization for the pilgrimage.

520 $a On Monday, July 10, 1994 over four thousand indigenous men, women and children peacefully marched into the Honduran capital carrying small children on their backs and singing religious songs. They called this event the Pilgrimage for Life, Justice and Liberty. On Friday, July 14, President Reina signed a fifty-two point plan, which included nearly all of the pilgrims' demands. During the eighteen months following the pilgrimage, San Francisco de Opalaca became the focus of a flurry of development activity as local leaders and external organizations attempted to sustain and build on the mobilization for the pilgrimage.
520 $a My first goal was to understand and explain the mobilization for the pilgrimage and the events which followed. This investigation led me to consider the more general question of: how are villagers mobilized to participate in risky and costly but potentially beneficial activities?
520 $a Based on this study, I believe that the villagers' participation in the pilgrimage and the events which followed is best explained by a "mobilization model" which argues that villagers were mobilized for the pilgrimage and the subsequent events in the context of social networks and on the basis of relationships and frames (see footnote 8 for a definition of both of these terms).
520 $a This study extends various insights to development theorist and practitioners. First, it illustrates that broadening participation may have the unintended consequence of weakening both relationships and mobilization frames. Second, it demonstrates the power of spiritual themes in framing the pilgrimage and in villagers' everyday decisions, a fact which challenges its relative absence from development theory and practice. Third, this model reveals that relationships between outside "organizers" and local leaders can encourage villagers to participate in riskier and more costly but potentially more beneficial activities. Finally, this model demonstrates the importance of networks in the mobilization process, a fact which challenges the current practice of grouping "beneficiaries" not by social network but by other factors such as socio-economic level, a practice which separates them from trusted but slightly wealthier friends and family and instead often groups villagers with members of "enemy" networks.
