Abstract
OLIVOS SANTOYO, Luis Nicolás. Centered and off-centered ethnicities. A proposal from the understanding of contemporary ethnic processes from a relational perspective. Entrediversidades rev. cienc. soc. humanid. [online]. 2020, vol.7, n.2, pp.194-221. Epub Feb 26, 2024. ISSN 2007-7610. https://doi.org/10.31644/ed.v7.n2.2020.a07.
In this essay a theory of ethnicity based on a relational approach is tested, where the ideas of centrality and decentrality are used to characterize some contemporary ethnic phenomena in Mexico. To support these ideas, I rely on comparative ethnography carried out among the Raramuri of Chihuahua and the Mixteco of Oaxaca, using the model I propose to explain the current situations of persistence in a global world.
Keywords : Relational Perspective; Ethnicity; Persistence; Mixteco; Raramuri.
