RAMIREZ SANCHEZ, Saúl. Los cargos comunitarios y la transpertenencia de los migrantes mixes de Oaxaca en Estados Unidos. Migr. Inter [online]. 2006, vol.3, n.3, pp.31-53. ISSN 2594-0279.
This essay analyses the relations between the Mixe migrants in Los Angeles with their hometown people of Santa Maria Tlahuitoltepec in Oaxaca, through their participation in the religous-civic hierarchy, mutual help and colective work (tequio). The questions driven work are: Which are the more visible bonds that the indigenous migrants maintain to reconstruct or transform the group's identity? How they value the meaning of this bonds which allows them to be present over their communities? The results suggest that ethnicity redefines itself through the communal and with the thought ofgoing back to the community. It also comes to mind that traditional institution are more flexible, dynamic and creative, which allows to perpetuate ethnic identity, and avoid the deterritorialization, a typical globalization process.
