PARIS POMBO, María Dolores. Youth Identities and the Migratory Culture among Triqui and Mixtec Boys and Girls. Migr. Inter [online]. 2010, vol.5, n.4, pp.139-164. ISSN 2594-0279.

This article analyzes the impact of generational relations and the formation of youth identities on the basis of field work conducted in the Upper Mixtec and Lower Triqui regions (Oaxaca, Mexico). Using the concepts of Cultural Capital and Symbolic Capital proposed by Pierre Bourdieu, it describes how the culture of migration transforms social expectations and the imagination of young indigenous men and women and their empowerment in both domestic units and school and community.

Palabras llave : Mixtec; Triqui; Culture; Symbolic Capital; youth.
