Abstract

This paper gathers the results of an exploratory exercise carried out by the author, a Colombian woman living in Mexico, regarding some stereotypes assigned to migrants from her country. Such study was carried out by means of self-ethnography, which makes possible to validate self-experience as ethnographic information. It states that stereotypy allows to reaffirm cultural frontiers based on the nationality, and the frontier is understood as a symbolic and cultural limit that makes possible to reassert the differences and belonging to a national group.
