Governance, Migration, and Identity. Oaxacan indigenous people in Los Angeles, California.

Abstract

The study on the governance, migration and identity of indigenous Oaxacans in Los Angeles, California, highlights the complex intersection between socio-cultural and political factors. Indigenous people from Oaxaca face significant challenges when migrating, maintaining their traditions while adapting to a different urban environment. Governance involves the creation of community networks and forms of self-management, preserving their identity in a diverse society. This scientific analysis highlights how these communities preserve their cultural roots through local organizations, while interacting with immigration policies and identity challenges. The study reveals the resilience and adaptability of these indigenous people, contributing to the understanding of the complexity of migration and cultural preservation in diversified urban environments such as Los Angeles.
