Fuerza de trabajo y estrategias de supervivencia en una población de origen migratorio : colonias populares de Reynosa

‘This is a lot like the Bronx, isn’t it?’ Lived experiences of marginality in an Argentine slum

“…During the late 1950s and early 1960s a distinctive pattern of problem-solving began to crystallize among slum dwellers that combined (1) collective claim-making to the local and provincial governments (and changing state policies towards the slums), with (2) the collective efforts of Paraíso residents to improve their dwellings and habitat. This pattern of problem-solving and claim-making denies any allegation that the slum population was the bearer of a 'culture of dependency' in its migration process (and that had supposedly found fertile ground in the 'ecology' of the slum), and confirms what 24 This means that, as in many other poor neighbourhoods in Latin America (Lomnitz, 1975;Margulis, 1982;Friedman and Salguero, 1988;Hintze, 1989), networks of reciprocal help were central elements in the survival strategies of slum dwellers. For different analyses on the processes of adaptation of migrants to the new urban setting, see Mangin (1970), Perlman (1976) and Butterworth and Chance (1981).…”

“…As much urban research in Argentina and elsewhere in Latin America (Lomnitz, 1975;Margulis, 1982;Hintze, 1989) has documented, family and neighbourhood networks are key elements in the survival strategies of the poor. 'Proximate networks of reciprocity with neighbours and kin' (Friedman and Salguero, 1988: 11) are well-studied elements in our understanding of how poor people confront the challenge of survival, and of what type of relationships they establish in this process.…”

“…The internal make-up of the alleyways is also an unconventional sociological indicator of the changes the slum has suffered in the last twenty years: the walls of the 29 This is not to deny the actual relevance of household and neighbourhood survival strategies embedded in reciprocal networks.

A rede de solução de problemas do peronismo

“…As redes informais de reciprocidade têm sido profunda e profusamente estudadas na América Latina, muitas vezes como fontes das "estratégias de sobrevivência" desenvolvidas pelos pobres urbanos ou rurais (Lomnitz, 1975(Lomnitz, , 1988Margulis, 1981;Hintze, 1989). As redes políticas também têm sido estudadas para o caso desta parte do continente e em outros lugares do mundo (Conniff, 1981;Burgwald, 1996;Kornblum, 1974;Guterbock, 1980;Katznelson, 1981;Knoke, 1990).…”
