GISSI B, Nicolás. Social ascending mobility in the urban contemporary aborigens?: Gift, market and social insertion among the mixtecos of México City. Atenea (Concepc.) [online]. 2012, n.506, pp.71-95. ISSN 0718-0462.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-04622012000200006.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the systems of social integration of the population Mixteca in the México City. Coming from the Mixteca region in oaxaca's state, they have re-settled themselves in the peripheral colony San Miguel Teotongo, establishing ethnic enclaves. Holding their ethnic network, the Mixtecos immigrants (and their children born in the city) have struggled for their right to the city. They have also adapted to the world neoliberal economy creating stores in their own homes, shifting from an employed to a self-employed status.

Palabras clave : Mixtecos; economic exchanges; ethnic enclaves; social integration; Mexico City.
