Abstract
AVILES GONZALEZ, Karla Janiré and IBARRA TEMPLOS, Yuribi May Ek. Sociolinguistic Identities and International Migration: Reactions Against Discrimination. Alteridades [online]. 2016, vol.26, n.51, pp.73-84. ISSN 2448-850X.
The article discusses the ways in which two Mexican indigenous communities face sociolinguistic discrimination in times of globalization. It shows the experience of the original immigrants of Santa Catarina (State of Morelos), an old Nahua community, and of the Mixteco immigrants of San Juan Mixtepec (State of Oaxaca), within the American national context. These cases question different versions of globalization that predict the inevitable extinction of linguistic and cultural diversity, demonstrating that the reconfiguration of identity responds, among other factors, to different histories and local dynamics, as well as to different migratory patterns.
Keywords : linguistic ideologies; racism; Nahuatl; Mixteco.
