Etnicidades centradas y descentradas. Una propuesta desde la perspectiva relacional para la comprensión de procesos étnicos contemporáneos

Abstract

In this essay a theory of ethnicity based on a relational approach is tested, where the ideas of centrality and decentrality are used to characterize some contemporary ethnic phenomena in Mexico. To support these ideas, I rely on comparative ethnography carried out among the Raramuri of Chihuahua and the Mixteco of Oaxaca, using the model I propose to explain the current situations of persistence in a global world.
