Diversidad cultural y apropiación de los espacios en la Ciudad de México

Abstract

This paper, through the analysis of a national organization of internal indigenous immigrant Asamblea de Migrantes Indígenas will try to go beyond the usual analysis of the migration process to include the subjective levels. The immigrant always faces a forced break-up with the most basic intimate levels of his life. He faces a sort of death of the self, and an uprooting and profound suffering in as much as he (she) has to change the world view around which he (she) has built his inner world. He will try to survive the rupture of his world with the construction and reconstruction of his history, between the here in which he is now and the there from his past; and the remembrance of his loved original land.
