“…Thus, many have begun to leave their rural municipios, or small towns, and migrate within Mexico to urban areas (Castellanos 2008). The Indigenous populations often remain segregated in the outskirts once they migrate to cities, often due to fear of discrimination because of their Indigenous phenotype and culture (Acharya and Barragán Codina 2012).…”

Mexican Indigenous im/migrants are a growing community made invisible at the margins of multiple racial, cultural and linguistic spaces in Mexico and the United States. This article addresses the need for a nuanced understanding of the adaptation of Mexican Indigenous im/migrant children and families that encourages Indigenous communities' cultural and linguistic knowledge to be recognized and valued, rather than silenced and stigmatized. We critically examine the existing literature on the adaptation of Mexican Indigenous im/migrants in the United States from the perspective of socioecological systems theory, incorporating insights from the theory but also pointing out its limitations for understanding Mexican Indigenous identities and experiences in diaspora. We propose integrating language-ecological approaches to provide a more complete picture of Indigenous ecologies of adaptation in the United States. We conclude that it is critical to expand research on Mexican Indigenous im/migrant adaptation within the field of Latino studies and identify possible directions for future research.

“…A first factor is discrimination. According to the National Discrimination Survey (END, 2017), in Mexico, dark skin color generates discrimination, as does speaking an indigenous language (Acharya & Codina, 2012;Martínez et al, 2014).…”

Indigenous communities are the poorest sector in Mexico, and much of their precarious situation is due to their economic behavior. This article analyzes the part of their culture that affects their current economic behavior and that is derived from what happened in their history, beginning in the colonial era. However, unlike other studies, this study links cultural aspects with a formal model of economic growth. To this end, a way of incorporating various cultural factors into the utility function of the individuals composing that society is shown, and those factors are then integrated into a model of economic growth. In this way, conclusions are obtained that would have been difficult to reach otherwise. The cultural factors that are added to the utility function are preferences for working with household specialization and using a technology similar to that used by their ancestors. The emergence and formation of these preferences is shown throughout their history because the communities were acquiring them as part of their survival strategies against a very adverse environment. Likewise, empirical evidence of the relationship of the aforementioned cultural factors with economic growth is presented. Classification code O12, O32, Z13

Vse večje povpraševanje po prebivanju na urbanih območjih zaradi njihove družbenoekonomske privlačnosti (glej na primer Acharya in Barragán Codina, 2012;Cheng, 2012, ter Zhang idr., 2012 je v zadnjih letih povzročilo daljnosežne posledice za naravno pokrajino, kar je raziskovalce spodbudilo k razvijanju novih metod in tehnik merjenja, napovedovanju, prikazovanju in upravljanju sprememb pokrajinskih vzorcev in procesov (na primer Turner, 1989;Jenerette in Wu, 2001;Bender idr. 2005;Deng idr., 2008, ter Jenerette in Potere, 2010.…”
