摘　　要：This essay considers the main features and status of contemporary Zapotec literature,an"ultraminor"Indigenous literature in southern Mexico.Tracing its modern emergence through 20th century literary circuits that were preeminently local and politically-rooted,Zapotec literature has taken what Laachir et al.describe as a"groundup and located approach"to literary production and circulationone that clashes against the globalizing,capitalist,Western-centric relations prevalent in the field of World Literature.Shaping g/local readers and raising cultural and linguistic awareness,Zapotec authors write in their linguistic variant and self-translate their work and worldviews into Spanisha major Western language with a strong colonialist legacy and presence in the field of World Literature.Although they translate their work as a form of authorial validation within the nation,they primarily seek to nurture autochthonous forms of expression and circulation that are key in Indigenous-led cultural revitalization processes in their territory.As examples of literary worlding,I engage two contemporary Zapotec texts:Victor de la Cruz's seminal anthology of Zapotec literature Guie'sti'didxaza/La flor de la palabra and Natalia Toledo's poem"Ni guicaa T.S.Eliot/A T.S.Eliot,"published in her bilingual collection Guie'yaase'/Olivo negro.
