¿Hacia el indio nuevo? De lo global a lo local y a la inversa en pueblos nahuas del norte de Puebla

Daily life in indigenous communities has suffered many changes since the nineteen forties. Space reveals these changes through the manner in which indigenous populations appropriate it. Concepts employed are "the rural world" , dominated by agricultural activity, and "places", spaces with a high density of saocial relations. We examine the case of Nahuas (near Huauchinango, Puebla), pointing out a decline in rural ethos, in agricultural, symbolic and ritual appropriation. Nevertheless we verify the permanence of strong family solidarities and attachment to the local community.
