ARANDA ANDRADE, Marco Antonio. Everyday resistances in an informal settlement in the Metropolitan Area of Monterrey. Perf. latinoam. [online]. 2018, vol.26, n.52. ISSN 0188-7653.  https://doi.org/10.18504/pl2652-014-2018.

The precarization and stigma experienced in the informal settlements in the Metropolitan Area of Monterrey, undermine the rights of people who resist every day in order to take a place in society. In this article, we analyze the transits between spaces and formal and informal activities crossed by relations of domination and resistance in an informal settlement of the city. We will see that, in these blurred and negotiable transits, made by state capture, stigma, advantageous contact and tactical flight, people rebel against domination and fight endlessly for their inclusion from positions of disadvantage fueled by the State.
