LEAL SORCIA, Olivia. Social Identifications and Construction of Etnhic Senses among Urban Nahuas in Mexico City. Entrediversidades rev. cienc. soc. humanid. [online]. 2021, vol.8, n.2, pp.6-29.  Epub 26-Feb-2024. ISSN 2007-7610.  https://doi.org/10.31644/ed.v8.n2.2021.a01.

Based on the ethnographic description of a group of Nahua speaking indigenous people who sell magazines in Mexico City, the article aims to discuss two categories of analysis: social identifications and ethnic sense in order to contribute to a broader discussion on the emergence of an urban ethnicity in which agency of indigenous subjects is shaped by individual and collective trajectories in social and union struggles, as well as in claims for citizen rights. The analysis will also allow me to problematize the tensions between individual/family and collective interests that stem from everyday sociability, relatively unexplored on studies of urban ethnicities in Mexico.

Palabras llave : agency and indigenous subjects; social and union struggles of urban indigenous; citizen rights and ethnic senses.
