El derecho a no ser parte de la ciudad: ruralidad y urbanización en Ciudad de México
Abstract
The indigenous peoples of the Valley of Mexico basin have demands (current and historical) in terms of fundamental rights, most related to the presence and growth of Mexico City. In recent years, the dominant discourse revolves around the rights to the city, which could be exclusive from the perspective and experience of the people. It is worth asking then if, in order to fulfill these rights, one does not want to be part of the city, or if this postulate is incompatible with a territorial transition appropriate for the current crisis. The objective of this article is to outline a narrative about “the right not to be part of the city.” It was carried out with the adaptation of a narrative method (a logical-historical organization) through the triangulation of information with office and field work. It is concluded that this position has been built symbolically by the demands of the Autonomous Assembly of the People of the Valley of Mexico Basin in the last five years and by other organizations and mobilizations as a form of just and appropriate territorial transition for the reality of the place.
