RUIZ BALZOLA, Andrea. Between Transnational and State Logic: Contemporary Indigenous Migration. Alteridades [online]. 2014, vol.24, n.48, pp.87-97. ISSN 2448-850X.

The purpose of this article is to reflect, from the cases of Zapotee migrants (Mexico) and kichwa otavalo (Ecuador), on the relation between identity and territory. An ethnographic analysis will allow to show how the processes of deterritorialization and transnational community building aim to mobility processes that break the logic of territorialization of the nation states. In this sense, the possible challenges and issues these transnational indigenous communities represent to a legal order that is anchored in its territory and their belonging to a country is analyzed

Keywords : mobility; identity; territory; right.
